I see the debate pulsating,and all agree that its about:
1.RESOURCES
2.RESOURCES and
3.RESOURCES

JARAMOGI said in 1964 but was labelled a Communist.The kenyan Tragedy is that these Resources are concentrated in Nairobi and has the potential of moving an Economy of 200km radius off Nairobi;which is predominantly Central kenya.

And lets not blame Central kenya Guys for this;the blame squarely lies on President Kenyatta and his 1st Cabinet for poor Planning.

What should be done? why do we recarpet a perfectly normal langata Road and not construct a dual carriageway from Mombasa to Malindi and another Kenya Meat Commission factory in Wajir?

And what is so perfect in having a Fish processing Plant in Thika instead of Homa-Bay?

If we accept to make all Industrial areas in kenya under an Investment Authority not City Councils (What do they do anyway??) and sincerely scatter them from Moyale to kakamega, then JARAMOGI would withdraw the words "Not Yet Uhuru"

Resources,Resources and Resources!!!

I am a Doctor who has worked in very remote kenyan Districts with no water and feel terrible when Nairobi drains and refills millions of cubic liters of water from swimming pools.

Lets have swimming pools, Yes, but distribute our wealth equitably.

This is what I cry for.
