Meet Keith Brown, King Mucoki, Minister of Mines and Minerals


Question 1 : – Please could you introduce yourself ?

 

My name is Keith Brown and I am a U.S. National currently residing in the beautiful country of Kenya.  I traced my ancestry to the Kikuyu of Mt Kenya. There, by rites of initiation, I was given the name Prince Mucoki – I am now King Mucoki wa Maina of the Diaspora after being crowned by King Maina wa Karanja before the Council of Elders and Chief Seers of Kenda Muiyuru – The nine clans of the Agikuyu.
I now serve as Minister of Mines and Minerals and as a member of the Royal Chamber of SOAD.

 

Question 2 : – What is your vision of Panafricanism ?

 

My Vision is a united, organized and strong Africa built on the partnership and integration between businesses, organizations, and individuals within the Diaspora and the Africa continent. All working as one toward a self-sustaining, self-reliant, empowered economic world power.

 

Question 3 : – Who is your favourite character in Pan-african history, and why?

 

Kwame Nkrumah.

 

Question 4 : – With the onset of technology and investment in Africa, how do you see Africa in the 21st Century ?

 

Africa is emerging from the shadows toward the implementation of SMART cities, innovative health care solutions, artificial intelligence, mobile and blockchain technology. Only by unifying with the diaspora can Africa arise to become a world power.

 

Question 5 : – What initiatives and projects have manifested through your position within the State of the African Diaspora ?

 

My desire and goal as an appointed cabinet minister, Is to expound on the relationships and initiatives that I have cultivated and introduced as a roving ambassador of SOAD.  These relationships have provided us with contacts, resources, and opportunities that are not readily known. On the African continent, trust, honesty, loyalty, and honor are more binding than contracts and promises. For this reason, most of the mineral sites where there is an abundance of natural resources are not realized due to the lack of trust that the population has for companies due to the exploitation of the people and the unfair business practices.

However, we have transcended those boundaries and have established mutual trust that has resulted in partnerships with the small and medium sized mining companies, local governments, artisanal miners, governors, chiefs, and landowners that have not until now agreed to trust in the knowledge that we will indulge in fair business practices and partnerships.

 

Question 6 : – What are you planning to do in the future for the State of the African Diaspora ?

 

What drives me is my vision to morally and ethically assist, educate, and invest in elevating the socio-economic status of the African and Caribbean people; maintaining accountability and integrity through the realization of unity, mutual respect, and economic prosperity between businesses, organizations and communities in the Diaspora and those in the Caribbean Islands and Africa continent – inspiring the indigenous people to be self-reliant and empowered.
