The Kenyan GDP is around ksh.3.6 trillion or about $41 billion.
My calculations are ok. Meaning Aliko Dangote and Zukernberg can buy Kenya with enough remaining to clear the debt Theoretically possible. The 2 gentlemen combined are worth more than $41B. The last time i checked $20 + $3 was not equal to $41   20+13=$33B=2011 Kenyan GDP 2012=$37,B 2013=$40.56 estimate Aaiii!!!!!! hii ndio spinning??

Kenya to host conference on giraffes Monday *applause* *tuko juu* *dint know the below stats* Dr. Charles Musyoki, Senior Scientist Department of Species Research Programs KWS notes that there are nine sub-species of giraffes naturally occurring in the African continent with Kenya being the only country with three of the sub-species. “Given Kenya’s heritage in terms of giraffe diversity, it is fitting that we will become the first country to develop the first ever conservation strategy dedicated solely to giraffes anywhere on the African continent,” he said. He said Kenya has a high stake in the preservation of giraffes since ‘it is home to about 60% of the global population of wild Rothschild’s giraffe with Ruma National Park having the single largest meta-population (140+ individuals)’. The conference with participants from Africa, Europe and America also aims at developing the first ever conservation strategy for giraffes.

Uhuru to launch new port berth in Mombasa
President Uhuru Kenyatta will on Wednesday commission a new berth to ease congestion at the port of Mombasa at a ceremony to be attended by Presidents Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and Paul Kagame of Rwanda.
The new facility will increase the port’s container handling capacity by 200,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs)containers a year.
Berth 19 will allow three Panamax vessels of up to 250 metres in length to unload containers at any given moment.
The Sh5.8 billion project includes an additional 15-acre staking yard that adds a further capacity of 200,000 TEUs per annum.
Kenya Ports Authority managing director Gichiri Ndua said the new 240-metre long berth brings the length of the quay at the busy contaioner terminal to 840 metres.
Mr Ndua said the new berth is one of two key Vision 2030 flagship projects launched in July 2011 and said it would speed up the delivery of cargo to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, northern Tanzania, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia.
The KPA boss said container traffic through the port of Mombasa has increased a thousand-fold from the recorded 903,463 TEUs in 2012 compared to 9,093 TEUs in 1978. The port was originally designed to handle 250,000 TEUs.
The construction of the second container terminal is ongoing and divided into two phases. Berths 20 and 21, measuring 350 metres and 250 metres respectively and 15 metres deep, are expected to be ready by the end of 2015.
Possible benefactors?

OK. IMHO, in the normal course of things, this should spur more trade/activity and hence, transporters (road & rail) should do more, financiers, insurers as usual & importers-manufacturers etc.
