Houphouet-Boigny?


Precisely, this guy transformed his village into a capital city with world class infrastructure if you look at how that country was run during his time its a replica of kibakis regime only that we are a multiparty.


Are you saying that he has concentrated all development around his village? Surely, you haven't traveled around the country! You only see Thika road and the by-passes around Nairobi...

@mukiha I meant, development alone does not make a successful leader equity and unity of purpose among the populous does.

In My opinion Kenya is too fragile when you compare 2002 and today, we are so divided such that our MPs can bully us around,and bcoz of our differences its impossible to see a unified public outcry.

I second you on that. Been looking all over the net for images of the completed sections and the Marsabit-Turbi section.

@selah, I think the fragility is as a result of opening up the democratic space. We now need someone who can strike a balance. But you have to admit, development is a key stepping stone. If we had someone who united us and created equity, but we were still stuck in the pre-2002 development ruble, you would still be complaining. If there's no development, I dont think there can be unity as well, IMHO.

@Jus blazin what I know is if the country is skewed interms of Equity i.e The widening gap btwn the Rich and the poor,No amount of development can create a cohesive state.

I have given ivory coast as an example,..UK is another and US will follow if public anger brought by Job losses and high cost of living is not checked.

Great post @IDP.. i work in the development field and i couldn't agree more, there has been phenomenal increase in infrastructural facilities countrywide.

In appreciation, why not name Thika road in his honor ---- Kibaki Super Highway.

During your campaigns in 2002. You told us to evaluate you on the following areas
1. education
2. Infrastructure
3. New Constitution
4. Opening up of democratic space.
5. To tame run away corruption.
6. Economic growth

In all the above areas, you have performed well sometimes under difficult circumstances. If you read wazua, know that we are very grateful. During those university days you inspired many to study Economics and to play golf. You are still a role model and a hero to many. After retirement you can have one on me at Kirinyaga Tavern.
! Once again Thank you SirApplause Applause


I don't rate him as highly
1. education - B (FPE is good but quality has gone to the dogs, there are absolutely no facilities)
2. Infrastructure - B+ (Done well here but the speed with which he moves denies him the clean A that he could have received)
3. New Constitution - C (This was never his initiative, I am not sure whether he really wanted to change the old constitution)
4. Opening up of democratic space. - A (His greatest achievement, I really admire his tolerance. thank you for this)
5. To tame run away corruption. - D+ (Too many scandals)
6. Economic growth - C+ (The economy grew inspite of his government, we are still growing at a slower rate than our fellow east africans)

Overall - B (We can some it up as a Journeyman performance)

To all my beloved friends and foes on Wazua, and my arch enemy the devil a.k.a. Admin/Shaitan, who has been very generous in banning me until 2014 on more than 50 occasions, and in keeping with the spirit of Wazua of educating, informing and learning from others; within the limit of what we know, in any chosen area irrespective of our differences, I wish to express my opinion on this topic, the comments that have followed thereafter and the devil a.k.a. Admin/Shaitan of this abyss called Wazua, by saying in the words of a wise and distinguished Wazua member, one devil a.k.a. Shaitan a.k.a. 'user' a.k.a. Wendz, a big ......aaaargggh thu, aaaargggh thu and aaaargggh thu.
