The sustained global interest in the "Relations between China and Sub-Saharan Africa" is attributed to the fact that the ties have taken a distinctive process characterized by grandiose meetings between Chinese and African leaders.There is growing consensus that despite the much publicized FOCAC process in these engagements, there is yet no emphatic follow-up mechanism by African scholars to assess the specific impacts of these activities and to ensure that they have enough in-country support to effectively undertake the FOCAC programs.The analysis in this paper therefore rests in examining the dynamics, directions and measures undertaken in Kenya in order to realise the FOCAC goals.Our analysis suggests that on the one hand, many of the trading initiatives by Kenya in the post 2009 platform are not in direct response to the FOCAC plans of action.The initiatives existed long before the FOCAC platform.On the other hand, Kenya, like a number of other African countries appear to lack a structured and scientific approach or action plans in response to the FOCAC commitments.The involvement of technical groups such as scholars in forging a strategic response to the emerging FACAC opportunities has been largely peripheral.This attitude underscores the experience in much of SS Africa where the FOCAC has been seen a political rather than a strategic and economic pursuit.
