The most important skill for a Governor is the Emotional Inteligence to provide leadership and employ human resource to manage the city. The ability to work with others and not see oneself as a demi-god who knows it all is what will enable a prosperous Nairobi. As Dunning-Kruger effect shows, most people who feel they know it all usually have the least idea.

As investors we are trying to figure out if YT2 was on the NSE trading floor launching a municipal bond to develop the housing projects like Jimnah wanted to do whether we can even touch it with a ten foot pole

1.A Performer not a talker
2.Results oriented CEO.

This city has enough boardroom talkers but very few performers.
Performers are on the ground getting a first hand experience of issues affecting the people.
Well I yearn to see action and if it comes by stone throwing then let it be! Stones I will throw and throw hard!!
I find you grabbing land,and you think you can buy your way out? I will look for a quarry and mobilise youths to get ready.
We focus too much on foreign investors.How about encouraging local investment first? Empower the citizens and make conditions favourable for them to invest first not foreigners.Let them find us at work so they can partner with us.
Kidero had better prioritise well.

Did Waititu say how he was going to attend to the issues of toilet, water, land, light, roads, schools etc? Didn't watch the interview so would be interesting to know how he intends to go about it coz it seems from posts here that he provided convincing details on how he would address those issues.

And @washiku don't you think those things like strategic management that you seem to dismiss are what need to be attended to in order to address the issues that you seem to credit to Waititu?

By talk do you mean giving convincing specifics on how he would handle them or merely saying that he would? Missed the interview so would be interesting to know about his ideas on handling these issues and how practical they are.
