A Kenyan Law Scholar, Prof. Patrick Loch Lumumba has stated that Africa is the only continent that is referred to by European and American commentators as Anglophone, Francophone and Lusophone.

This according to him was because the former colonisers still see them as their territories. “These descriptions underline the unspoken truth that in the minds of the colonizers their erstwhile ‘fiefdoms’ are still their little backwater territories to be guided and cajoled as circumstances may justify”, he noted.

“Africa cannot grow until it deals with corrupt leaders and corruption. Corruption is one of the things that have held Africa back”.

A distinguished Kenyan Professor of Public Law, Prof. P. L. O. said this when he delivered the second of the three-day 11th Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Lecture at the University. Prof. Lumumba said the first thing African leaders do on assumption of political power is primitive accumulation of wealth so much so that they do not even know where such property and wealth are.

An eminent Professor of Public Law from Kenya, Prof. Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba, says until the day Africa achieves political reawakening, the continent cannot not occupy its rightful place in the world.

“Africa will rise in her splendor: it will only do so if we can identify the right things and do them right, we can rise”.
