Nairobi, 05 Aug-(ANA)-US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has begun has arrived in Kenya at the start of an 11-day tour of Africa.
Mrs Clinton told a trade summit that developing Africa's untapped potential depended on good governance.
She is due to meet Kenyan leaders, amid growing concerns over Kenya's reluctance to seek justice following last year's post-election violence.
Mrs Clinton is also expected to hold talks with Somali leaders in Nairobi.

Mr Obama said in a video broadcast to delegates at the Nairobi summit that he would like to see closer trade ties with Africa.
US officials were keen to emphasise that Mrs Clinton's trip is the earliest trip by a secretary of state to Africa of any administration.
Other countries to be visited by Mrs Clinton during her Africa tour include South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, Liberia, Democratic Republic of Congo and Cape Verde. (ANA)
