Is it a payback for allowing foreign military bases in Kenya?
It would be a simplistic to explain matters in that light, Ndugu Zomba. The Largest American presence is a Company in Lamu area, in a KDF-Military complex. Nothing as ostentatious as to be called an American Military Base. I know, coz I am serving.
Like is as not, there are shared Strategic National Interests which requires some form of coordinated exchanges, and for which Kenya requires financial and equipment support from the Americans. But Kenya is very keen not to fall into the same Trap Pakistan was drummed into by the Americans where the front-lines for the American-Islamic war are Pakistan - so no bases in Kenya for the Americans, whatsover.
