Kenyans in the US Facilitate Chopper Ride for Garissa Governor Ali Korane around Minnesota

Kenyans in the diaspora facilitated a helicopter ride for Garissa Governor Ali Karane around the state of Minnesota during his benchmarking tour to the United States.

The Governor said the chopper ride helped him witness firsthand the architectural masterpieces and technology used in developing the infrastructure of Minneapolis city among others.

The Jubilee Governor said he intends to use the ideas gotten during the benchmarking tour to improve infrastructure in Garissa to world class level.

 "Following back to back meetings with community members and leaders of the diaspora population in Minnesota, I was taken on a chopper ride," Korane said in a tweet.

"That took me over Minneapolis city to help me witness firsthand the architectural masterpieces and technology employed in developing the infrastructure of the expansive city including the roads, bridges, dykes and tunnels that can be replicated in our flood prone Garissa town," he added. 

Korane also delivered a speech at the biennial Africa Trade & Investment Global Summit in Washington, DC last week. He was accompanied by his Kilifi counterpart Amason Kingi.
