Moving the state’s capital from Nairobi to Isiolo would open up Kenya. Isiolo is centrally located and that would greatly benefit surrounding counties with big infrastructural projects.
Millions of Shillings go to waste in Nairobi’s 1950s roads, so building a new city with modern design such as ZERO roundabouts would help decongest the city.
Sounds good on paper but in reality moving the capital will be a tall order. Those billionaires who’ve invested in those skyscrapers won’t allow it coz you’ll render their slums worthless. Same with the landlords and landowners around the city. Labda useme they relocate some Or all gova ministries

Devolution should have been simple :-
Each province nominates 2 candidates for a 1 year term as president and deputy in strict rotation.
Wouldn’t work in Kenya. Too many myopic Greedy mofos.
So if the 8 former provinces were converted to Counties or States then we would be having a Fed Government. Kenya is still politically immature to handle a Federal System

Kibaki’s vision 2030 team had such intentions to transform that place into a resort city akin to veagas… Iyo place iko ripe for tourism with its many gameparks in and around it.
I have been thinking about this for a while.
I don’t understand why some people are so eager to make Isiolo the capital city of Kenya just because it’s centrally located. Many seem to forget the complexities surrounding this issue, particularly the concerns about Somali influence in Kenya. You can find discussions on Somali forums and media groups boasting about their takeover of Nairobi, with some expressing a superiority complex over other tribes in Kenya, claiming their ancestors were ruling and navigating the seas as far back as the 1500s.Currently, Somalis from Somalia, based in Eastleigh, are advertising land in Konza City to their diaspora, which is causing tensions within the Somali communities in Kenya. Some members of the Somali community in Kenya are criticizing those from Somalia for promoting land that doesn’t belong to them and urging them to respect Kenyan law.It’s important to recognize that Isiolo has significant issues, including banditry, clan clashes, drought, and famine. If various communities start migrating to this region, purchasing land, and displacing the native Borana tribe, it could lead to further conflict. There’s a risk that militant groups might emerge, connecting to their counterparts, such as the OLF in Ethiopia, who are fighting for independence.What Isiolo truly needs is infrastructure and real estate development, similar to what we see in Nairobi, Nakuru, Mombasa, and Kisumu, to help integrate the community into the fabric of Kenya. Additionally, we must remember that Isiolo was part of the Northern Frontier District, and we should consider the historical implications before designating it as the capital.People in the future may look back and deem it a mistake to make Isiolo the capital city, especially if significant investments lead to unrest. I firmly believe that Isiolo should not be made the capital city of Kenya, and I will vote against this proposal.We are also witnessing a rise in the political and economic presence of Cushites in Kenya, where Somalis and other groups from Somalia excel in business. This success can lead to fear and jealousy among other tribes due to the competitive nature of capitalism in Kenya. Additionally, the Somali population in Kenya is growing rapidly, with many born here and others migrating from Somalia.Somalis are using Kenya as a route to migrate to Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, forming communities in those regions. Neighboring countries like Uganda, Tanzania, and even Zambia and Malawi are becoming increasingly engaged in Kenyan politics and raising their voices on social media about the behavior of Somalis in Kenya. For instance, a lady from Uganda expressed concerns about whether Kenya is ready to have a Somali president and about how Somali communities in Kenya align politically with Somalia. Similar issues have been raised by individuals in Tanzania speaking on the radio.In light of these issues, I believe it would be a significant mistake to make Isiolo the capital city of Kenya, and I will vote against this proposal.
