This brief jotting of an encounter with a Kenyan employee at Org 2 reveals cynicism about why Kenyans don't end up having the highest "boss" jobs in the country... because they are indebted (literally) to other nations. My interlocutor said: the highest engineers are always Chinese. Kenyans work under him. When I asked why, he said it is "because we need the loan from China.” The individual's boss is a white man; he did not mention mzungus or white people in positions of authority.
