    "content": "visa. However, if you want to travel to the European Union (EU) and you have an EU visa, you can practically transverse the entire EU without any border stops. Their trade movement also happens like that. So, it is upon us as Africa to ensure that we have free movement of Africans within Africa. Kenyan could have been in an enviable position had we won the AU Chairmanship. We almost clinched that position. If we won, we could have championed the free movement of Africans within Africa as a country. We must remind ourselves that visas were created by the Global North to keep off Africans or the Global South from the Global North. However, today within Africa, we have visas to keep ourselves out of it. As a country, we pledge that we shall continue to try promoting ourselves to get the position of the Chairperson of the African Union. However, it will not just be that position. There are many other positions that are available in the United Nations (UN) and other international bodies where Africa, especially Kenya, can showcase herself. I want all Kenyans to know that when such positions arise and we front a Kenyan candidate, that candidate will not be an individual candidate, but a national candidate. It will be upon us to support them all through and ensure that the country gets that position. I saw the joy of Germans when Ursula von der Leyen became President of the European Commission. That country took great pride in it. I desire to see a situation where Kenyans become more patriotic."
