About Benin Mwangi
My name is Benin. I began going to Africa during my economics undergraduate study. Currently, I am a credit analyst by profession, however my personal interests are in economic development and public policy-particularly with respect to Africa.

In addition to blogging at beninmwangi.com I also blog at The Benin Epilogue: Africa Ready for Business
