How about food you idiot!!! Clean energy? What a buffoon!! They don’t need clean energy to power nothing they have. Food and housing after the military and government scrape off their fees.
Great Guns!! let them clean up their countries first! I wonder how much Odinga got.

Okay, but in a partnership there is bilateral benefit and enrichment.
What are we getting in return?
All I see is that we give money and they take it.
Thanks
