Much as many of our countries have tried to live up to the injunctions handed down to us from on high to behave in particular ways, the results have been very slow in coming. We must therefore insert ourselves into the international debate about the issues of globalisation and its impact on the lives of the people and make our voice heard about what we and the rest of the world should do actually to achieve the development which is a fundamental right of the masses of our people. I believe that fundamental to everything we may say about these matters, must be the consideration that we have to attract into the African economy the significant volumes of capital without which the development we speak of will not happen. I refer here to both domestic and foreign investors and to both private and public sector sources of capital.
Sisi wakereketwa tunaopambania uhuru, umoja na ustawi ya Waafrika popote walipo tunajukumu kujizatiti na kuhamasisha watu wote wawe ni mwamko sio tu wa uzalendo lakini kile kifipako kilele cha mtazamo wa ukimataifa; mwamko itakao wafufue and kuamusha wale miongoni mwetu walio katika tabaka ya mapebari mchwara pamoja na walala hoi na wachochole wote watambue mapema kwamba ongezeko ya majeshi na umajeshi haitupeleki popote. Kuongezeka kwa mfumo wa umajeshi itazidisha makinzano, migogoro barani Afrika.
