The only info I am getting is that an African Diplomat said it but nothing else. I want to use it for the Xi Jingping section of my research paper for Political Science, I think it would add a nice bit of “flavour” for introducing the topic of Chinese relations with African states.

    Sounds about right, we can’t even get a hospital built in the UK without getting shafted by some Private Finance Initiative scheme (private company builds hospital, school, etc and Government or local authority are stuck in a decades long contract paying for it). What is built is usually shit and immediately starts falling apart but government is “seen to be building stuff” and because there’s no debt just decades of contractual payments to be made the national debt doesn’t increase.

    The “Kenyan official” should be glad just to get a lecture and not a fucking rip-off scheme like the Great British Public is getting. :D
