They had planned for max US$ 6000, but due to unforeseen contingencies the cost will be around KSh 900k. The costs will go down with time, they say. They already have a number of pre-orders, as the price is deemed very good for a brand new offroad vehicle "MADE FOR AFRICA" and not the smooth Japanese roads. This year they are targeting 50 pieces, before increasing to hundreds next year. Location-KVM Thika???

Enyewe we need someone very firm as otherwise some good projects will die. Recall the former US embassy (Now Ole Sereni) was already being demolished? The South C National Park devourers were on notice too? What changed? Why is government ready to spend money to buy a Gazetted national park? Why are other Kenyans not accorded similar mercies? Who sold/allocated that area now causing an entire section of the bypass to render the whole project useless?? For me hata kama it takes Raila, let us get someone resolute and let this project be done. Same with Bomas area, Outer ring road etc... Power is with the people and the people have lent it to leaders and the current bunch seem to be basking in the glory of it much like the fool who burried the proverbial one talent in the good book. Hebu watumie hii power tumewapa ama warudi machinani kuomba 'mandate'!! Sirkal Mayai!

Now, someone welcome me back after almosy a 2 year absence....

Lest we forget-keeping ourselves informed:

26th August 2014 newspaper.

The observations made there in may appear true to an 'unkeen' eye, yet she has concorted her own definition of middle class and disregarded the international norm. She has gone ahead and passed many untruths about rural economies and completely disregarded other major urban centres that count, like Ruiru, Thika, Kiambu, Nakuru, Meru, Embu, Nyeri, Maua, Machakos, Kitale, Kitengela, Kitui, Eldoret, Bungoma, kakamega, Kericho, Malindi, Garissa, Isiolo, Nyahururu, Nanyuki, Kisii, Narok, Voi, Wajir, Marsabit.......I cannot finish them, they are too many.

She has written off farmers who earn decently in the villages. She has forgotten all the small scale businessmen in the rural townships and county hqs.......She has written off all the govt employees including teachers, medics and security people who contribute to the rural economies.

Inequality is there yes, extreme poverty is with us too. We are not there yet, but we are not that badly off as a country as she puts it. I remain optimistic.

Is this true? In June it was around 40%, can such a quantum leap happen in just 3 months?
