Note for the folks at home: Chinese construction companies are surprisingly commonplace across Kenya at present. The Kenyan government has contracted a great deal of construction work - mostly road building - to Chinese companies, which tend to employ local labor. From what I've seen, locals are divided on the issue: some argue that the development of Kenya should be done exclusively by Kenyan companies, while others insist that having the more experienced Chinese companies set a "base" first will reduce the chance of failure in the future.
