\u201cWhat I have seen here in Menengai is quite remarkable! The biggest achievement is that this is a Kenyan-run facility. Menengai should now be a Global Center of Excellence. As an African, I look at Menengai with great pride. We need to celebrate it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Ms. Moleketi stated that AfDB will walk together with GDC in order to achieve the grand vision.<\/p>\n
