The Kikuyu politicians and pastors have been lately attacking the entrepreneurship of Somalis in Kenya. Well, the Somali MP (member of parliament) - who was elected from the Kamukunji Constituency that includes East Leigh - has set the record straight. Here he pointed out the economic potential of Eastleigh and the countless Kenyans, Somalis included, who earn their livelihoods in this important trading center.
Taxation is another factor that the Honourable MP Yusuf Hassan emphasized, where both the Nairobi City County and the Kenyan Revenue Authority (KRA) collect huge funds from the businesses that operate there.
We need people like him who emphasize our positive contributions to society in each country in which we live.
