President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday said Africa is on the path of economic success, after the realisation by its leaders that there is more to gain from unity than isolation.Speaking a day after 44 African countries signed up for a treaty that creates an Africa-wide free trade area, Kenyatta said Africa is set to realise a change in fortunes resulting from increased intra-Africa trade.

The President spoke in Nairobi, when he held a meeting with the visiting Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland.
