There was no 'free development' in the colonial period. It was slavery, forced labour, violation, trickery and alienation of land. Hong Kong also was not given up by the Chinese for 'free' it was part of the Nanking Treaty ending the Opium Wars and the Chinese were tricked into ceding it.

To call a Charter City it 'free development' is a blatant lie. There are no free things! You will give up your sovereignty for something else.

Is Kenya any better under Jomo, Moi, Kibaki and UK?
I think not !

Talk for yourself. Each one of the above titles yielded some fabulously successful people/ businesses, clusters in all walks of life Like it happens the world over. The country has moved forward in all ways and will always will.

Alienation of land: Kenyan politicians have grabbed more land than the colonialists ever did. Look at how much land the Kenyatta family grabbed.

Any evidence sir/madam? What have you done with the little land that you have if any, such that you need more of it to increase certain output? Have 'we' already maxed out on the little land we have?

Trickery: See how Kenyan rulers have turned Kenyan tribes against each other so while we are busy fighting each other, they loot the treasury.

Kenyans are far more tribally divided then they would ever be if muzungu was in charge.

Again, a populist view but empty on facts. Nowhere in the world that tribes pull along. If you think your mzungu god is infallible - appraise yourself on the Belgian tribal divide. And that is the seat of EU, the HQ of modern day westernized 'civilization'.

Violation: Kenyan politicians are responsible for more deaths of Kenyans than the muzungu ever did.

No. Murderers regardless of skin color are responsible individually for any killing. If you have evidence that any politician killed anybody, give it to the police.

Kenyatta and the Kapenguria six were the biggest threat to Muzungu yet the muzungu spared his life. Kenyatta on the other hand killed or detained anyone he considered a threat.

Its trendy, if lazy to accuse an individual for the ills in the society. Difficult to substantiate actions of faceless mzungu and faceful Kenyatta.

The colonial govt actually sent Kenyans to the UK to study. People were sent to Universities, to military and police training colleges, to polytechnics etc so they could come back and run the colony competently. Nowadays the govt is giving scholarships to relatives of bigwigs.

There are thousands of graduates spewing out of our universities every year. Kenya government is run quite competently by Kenyan - educated men and women. That is why you have space and platform to express your knowledge or lack of it. If, may goodness forbid, you have any education, that would be a disgrace to kindergartners.

Look at how much of a mess Nairobi is due to poor planning. Are you a planning expert or how did you determine that Nairobi is poorly planned? Do you have standards that we do not measure up to?

Incessant traffic. An indicator of upward mobile population. For your info, No city worth its salt does not have traffic issues. Different issues but issues nonetheless.

Water shortages. Sorry about that. Perhaps you need to check the plumbing in your house. There is plenty of water in Nairobi.

Power cuts. It is advisable to pay your bill promptly to avoid the cuts. And when cut, the re-connection charges are quite affordable.

Crime. Please report any criminal activity you know of to the police. Nairobi is not at all ranking as a crime city; ever heard of Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro?

Garbage piles. Garbage is a sign of consumption. Evidence that the country is eating! Look at yourself - How do you dispose of your waste? Can you please improve on it to avoid the pile up? You are advised to separate your waste into glass, plastic, and biodegradable items. The first thing you should do is buy 3 bins. Let it start with you.

No sanitation. Sorry again. you may consider moving to an area/ house with proper ablutions like millions of other city dwellers have done.

No housing. If you google, 'house to let', you will be spoilt of choice. If you want to buy one, there are house merchants even here in wazua.

Slums. Every city in the world has what others would consider as slums. But those who live there find it practical, convenient and sufficient. The ancient houses in European cities are slums in others view. Check that study showing the quality of life in Kibera - satellite dishes, double door friges etc.

It would not have been this much of a mess had muzungu stayed in power.

Their cities are a mess. Have you visited any of them?
A key difference between Muzungu and Mwafrigha is that the former can actually delay gratification and plan for the future. Mwafrigha is so greedy that he wants everything now. He has no concept of planning for the future. All this land grabbing and greed is why Nairobi is such a mess.

Which area of Nairobi do you live? We will be happy to lift you off that mess; and also a tourist attraction it will be.

If muzungu was still in charge I doubt the myriad corruption scandals that have plagued Kenya would still exist.

It will help your global view if you read beyond weekly citizen and kenya daily post. Corruption scandals is a universal problem as corruption is a derivative of human survival instincts. Including in your mzungu god-countries.

Masukuma speaks of kipande laws. Yet in Kenya today we are so tribally divided that a member of one tribe would be hesitant to settle in a different province or start a business in a different province. This is Kibaki's legacy. When he stole the 2007 elections, businesses and property belonging to so called "foregn people" was burned and looted. This people are still to afraid to go back to some of these places.

Speak for yourself, sir or madam. Different tribes are doing roaring businesses far from their province of origin. In my immediate office of 10 we speak 5 lanuages and we are nicely kicking ass!!

Talk shop... of course hakuna kitu kama hii. Why not do it close by in asia as well.

People don't know what 'Colonialism' was... it was an extension of their nations/states/countries into ours... which is fine... they came and started creating systems... which was fine... but the best of the system was for themselves.... which is fine! we parted ways and they went back to their small countries. we are figuring this thing out and they want to come back...We are not interested in what they have to offer! if we wanted we would have been begging them to come back but we are not! We will figure this one out. 50 years is a such a short time in human history... such a short time when it comes to a country with 42 small nations in it. Show me a western country that ever marched forward with so many nations within it's borders.

Why don't we lease them the uninhabitable parts of Noth Eastern?

But this whole argument means they know what to do with the land and we don't yet information is freely available and we have Kenyans and Africans who have schooled in those developed nations but can't bring the knowledge back. It also means our governments are a joke.
