I'm Sure The Government Of Qatar Is Not Coming In To Grow Food For The People Of Kenya; It's Coming To Grow Food To Sell. If It Can Also Sell To The People Of Kenya, Well, Then Good.

And Whether You Like It Or Not, You Are Part Of This Global Marketplace, And So You Might As Well Understand It, You Might As Well Embrace It, Because Even If You Hide, It Will Find You.
