Road construction projects boost China's image in Kenya(3)

Dennis Mbuto, a public relations consultant noted that Chinese have turned around their image in Kenya.

"All the public knows about China in Kenya is good quality roads. The image that Kenyans held about fake mobile phones and cheap clothes is fast fading. The roads have become a huge selling point for the Chinese," said Mbuti.

Mbuti noted China has beaten Kenya's other partners who offer cash or engage in projects that do not directly touch on Kenyans' lives.

"Who does not use roads in Kenya? As long as the Chinese continue building quality roads, China's image in Kenya will outlive many generations. Their work has become the lens through which others are viewed," he noted.
