Kenyan cities are already overwhelmed and unable to provide basic services like water and light. Yet that author wants even more people in the cities to make matters worse. And last I checked, 60% of Nairobians live in slums due to lack of adequate housing. And where will all these people migrating to the cities work? Kazi itatoka wapi? You cant live in city estates as he claims unless you have a job.

@Alba, it doesn't mean everyone goes to existing cities, but, rather, there would be new urban centers created in close proximity to the farms. And you need not look for white collar job cauz you'll be travelling to work at the farm every day. However I think this cannot happen in 21st century ..maybe in the next or the one after

But in most ways, what he says is not true particularly to the Kenyan sector. There is little land left for building of cycling and walk paths, consider Meridian Hotel and Muranga Hostel at Muranga Road, the walls of both buildings touch the tarmack. That might apply in upcoming cities like Konza Enjoy every moment of your life, you never know when your time will come.

The logistics of transporting farm hands to and from the city based on today's realities appear a pipe dream. What Daily Nation should be doing is writing about practical solutions. Yaani solutions that can actually be implemented starting now.

That might apply in upcoming cities like Konza I think this is suitable for planning ahead for newer towns or cities. But the politian probably wants an unpaved pedestrian walk by which he will drive by in his big car as the voter footsubishis in the dust.... Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. - Muhammad Ali🐝

The logistics of transporting farm hands to and from the city based on today's realities appear a pipe dream. What Daily Nation should be doing is writing about practical solutions. Yaani solutions that can actually be implemented starting now. What I meant is that such policy would be difficult to implement if spearheaded by govt. However, this will happen by default in some parts in the next 50-100yrs. As we speak, in central, many of the farmers who were given 5-10 acres each have subdivided their land,such that the maximum acreage for their kids is 1-2 acres. This will go on and on for the next 2-3 generations till you reach the minimum 50*100, then, voila! Everyone is like in some township or estate of sorts.Eventually they will have to do skyscrapers to house all these and reserve some space for food

Kenya’s On The Rise As An African Super Power".... now ranks as a middle income country and one of the top 10 biggest and powerful countries in the African Continent. Buoyed by a steady decline of crime and cost of energy, increasing exports, a recovering tourism, agriculture, and the prospects of oil, gas, and coal, the economy outlook is great." http://www.intelligenceb...an-african-super-power/
