WILMINGTON - The Kenya
Community Abroad (KCA) 2007
conference is underway at the
Marriot by the University of
Delaware. The conference
opened with a call to all
Kenyans in the Diaspora to get
involved in the formulation of
policy in their motherland.
The call was made by the KCA
president Mkawasi Mcharo who
noted “there is nothing
that happens in Kenya that
does not affect
us.” She said
“it is our
responsibility as Kenyans to
participate in setting
policies and engage in
political discourse. Policies
that affect us are created by
other people, yet it’s
our duty to engage fully as
Kenyans.”
