Andrew Mitchell MP "I congratulate Diageo for what they've done. I think it's now the fourth year that these awards have been held and they are terribly important because they ventilate a positive side of Africa. But they do more than that as well because they underline the importance of the private sector which is something that the government sadly doesn't take seriously enough. It is the private sector through creating wealth in Africa, along with world trade, which lifts people out of poverty."
