You have summed it all up...Nairobi city council as it was...was messed up,cartels ran the show and revenue collection was below par he needs to clean up that first hence the interdictions we heard about,if he gets it right reduces the corrupt tendencies to a minimal the revenue collected will go a long way into sorting out various issues at hand...
Lets see what he does with his budget but he should be given a much greater timeline for sorting out stuff as compared to any governor...rem when the workers striked recently a section of them were singing..."Tunataka YT2"
Alfie has made us build castles in the sky...he has made us believe we can turn around an area mostly semi arid area in Kenya into a modern city with everythn working appropriate ammenities,where companies like BMW would want to have an auto plant etc...he is our Bugsy Siegel who single handendly built Las Vegas which now prides itself as the entertainment capital of the world...he has the money from foreign investors the ball is squarely on his court lets see what he will do with it...he is more likely to suceed rather than fail.
