My leadership will be pegged on the dreams of our forefathers, who expected that by now, Africa would by now roar in one united voice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year, there is a General Assembly here. Jets come and land and then there will be a lot of talk in the halls where resolutions are passed and off, people leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raila regretted that most of the resolutions passed in these meetings are never implemented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you without fear of contradiction, 93 per cent of resolutions that are passed here are never implemented. It has become a talk shop. I intend to change that and ensure all resolutions pass here are implemented properly,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi led the high-profile delegation for the unveiling of Raila\u2019s candidature.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, Mudavadi reassured African countries that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is best suited to be the African Union Commission chairperson job.<\/p>\n<p>Mudavadi said Kenya is offering a lifelong Pan-Africanist, an accomplished global statesman who has demonstrated exceptional and visionary leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is much that our continent can utilise from such an elaborate experience,\u201d Mudavadi said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Raila has inherent capabilities to amplify the voice and bargaining power of the African continent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has always offered his peace-making skills to national and regional peace and security initiatives. Notably, Raila\u2019s strategic patience has fortified him as a peacemaker who has often foregone personal interests to achieve national and regional unity and stability,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He recalled that Raila served the AU as the High Representative on Infrastructure Development in Africa, from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Kenya Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
