Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for solid measures to advance the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks during an inspection trip on Wednesday to the city of Dezhou, east China's Shandong Province. Xi said efforts must be made to enhance the overall production capacity, quality, and performance of agriculture, ensure the stable supply of important agricultural products such as grains, build a beautiful and harmonious countryside for people to live and work in according to local conditions, and guide farmers to create a better life through hard work and wisdom. In Dongyujia Village, Xi learned about the local wheat harvest, corn planting, and agricultural supplies. He also walked into a farmland and had cordial exchanges with grain growers, farming machinery operators and agricultural technicians. Xi emphasized that ensuring the stable supply of grains and other agricultural products is the top priority in agricultural production, stressing efforts to well implement all supportive policies for grain production so as to secure a bumper grain harvest throughout the year. Xi also called for efforts to improve agricultural infrastructure and strengthen the capacity for disaster prevention, mitigation and relief in agriculture. Later, Xi visited the nearby Xiyujia Village, where he inquired in detail about improving local Party organizations and about the delivery of public services. He also viewed a display of local agricultural and sideline products. Xi expressed the hope that village Party organizations would further leverage the guiding role of Party building and make new achievements in building a beautiful and harmonious countryside for people to live and work in. At the home of villager Yu Xinhui, Xi sat down with the family to ask about their daily lives, including their jobs, income, the health of elderly family members, and the children's education. Xi said that Party members and officials must do more to benefit the people, deliver tangible results for their well-being, and address their difficulties, thereby enhancing their sense of fulfillment, happiness and security. "We are about to celebrate the 105th birthday of the Party as July 1 approaches," Xi said, noting that the Party has united and led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in making great achievements worthy of history and the people over the past 105 years. "As we are marching on the new journey of building China into a modern socialist country in all respects, we must work together and keep up our stride on the new Long March to create a brighter future and continuously meet the people's aspirations for a better life," Xi said.

Spent the past 10 days in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with a client TATU CITY, business partners and friends. Of course, such travels give the discerning traveller comparative perspectives of how governments run their affairs and what one can learn from the countries you visit. It also buts one in painful and cruel perspective the morass of problems that holds back Kenya. These are some of my observations. 1. Saudi Arabia is a country led by visionary and selfless leadership. Crown Prince and PM MBS is hell bent on transforming his country and people. Saudi Arabia is led by People who love their country and people and want move both foward. Their country's interest comes number 1, 2 and 3. 2. Corruption is unheard of and the rule of law (law that is known, obeyed and implemented to the letter) is ingrained in the national culture. The Kenyan craze of our leaders asking "what is in it for me...and what can I leave for my children" before they sign off a contract is unheard of. 3. Industrialisation is at a very advanced level. Saudi Arabia is manufacturing hub where the private sector runs everything and government creates enabling environment. We visited some amazing factories. 4. The people and their welfare provides the raison d'etre for Saudi government's very existence. Health care, education and infrastructure are all geared to advance the welfare of the citizenry. You will see walkways running into kilometres with watering joints all over Riyadh. 5. Riyadh is a construction site with an impressive and amazing architecture landscape. They just don't build tall ugly towers of concrete and glass. They build beautiful award winning structures. 6. Education, especially for girls is high priority of the Saudi regime. Girls only Universities are common and one in Riyadh is beautiful and world famous. Scholarships for foreign students is now very common in Saudi Universities. 7. Culture and their national heritage is promoted and protected. Of course Saudi Arabia has an ancient civilisation and is the origin many Abrahamic religions. The government takes this responsibility very serious and promotes it for the benefit of its citizenry. 8. Affordable housing is big. We visited beautiful homes in Jeddah. The target is have 75% of Saudi Nationals owing homes by 2030. They have passed the initial target of 65% 9. Private sector is big in Saudi Arabia. 10. We had amazing hosts including the people's ambassador to Riyadh @WehliyeMohamed and many others including the gracious and affable Ambassador of an East African country...asante sana bwana Ambassador and pass our regards to Boss... 11. Not just Kenya, but Africa has alot to learn from Saudi Arabia...resource utilisation, shutting out corruption, industrialisation, corruption free infrastructure, affordable housing, private sector, selfless leadership etc.
