Hapo kwa stima UHuruto waliscore manze nikiwa primary school nikienda shagz nilikuwa naboeka mbaya saidi.Hakuna stima so siezi ona cartoon plus out of macuzo 9 mmoja ndio boy na tumeachana na 7 years man na hata sikuwa napenda kuenda kwa wenyewe. Kazi ulikuwa tu kulima, kupeleka ngombe malishoni na mfanyikazi na mtoni kunywa maji.
I actually thought I had to go to the city/abroad to work ndio nikafunge juu kama stima na barabara hazikuwa zimeland in 40 years je internet? lakini saa hii I can do online gigs on 4G na stima hukuwa 6 out of the 7 days za wiki. Plus naitisha vitu Jumia na zinakam. Wueh how things change in 10 years
True
Uhuru has done a commendable job. You just have to give it up to him. Nice work My Prezzo
The whole electrification started late in Mois term. By the time he was leaving tulikua na lines running 500m away. But ilikua unahonga majaa ku connect. And it was a huge amount.
Uhuru amefanya kazi buana. Lakini watu hawana shukrani. Iganagwo yari iria yakua.
Hizo figures ni za uongo.
Shukrani ni mateke ya punda. Mimi kusema ukweli UHURUTO wamethukuma, I can’t believe I made my first million bila kutoka outside my village…atakama I & my relatives never voted for them hawakubagua ukambani…man kwanza mimi wameniokolea ile hakuna…maisha ni freshi barida…starehe tuu

Moi didn’t do shit. He only used to bait people with the possibility of being connected to the grid so you’d vote for KANU. There’s a famous incident where he ordered Kenya power to erect electricity poles in Kipipiri before a 1995 by-election but had them removed when KANU lost. All credit for rural electrification squarely goes to Kibaki. I was in South Nyanza around 2008 when hundreds of Meru contractors from Mastermind tobacco came to install power lines in the area.
At the time I found it odd that a tobacco company was involved in electrification, but I realized it’s the usual nepotism because the owner of mastermind was a Meru, just like Kiraitu Murungi the energy minister. But they did a thorough job, because by kitu 2010 most of the households had been connected. On a sidenote, Mastermind’s founder was one Wilfred Murungi, I wonder if he was related to Kiraitu Murungi or they were just namesakes.
Do another chart on cost of electricity and we will see who’s fairing better. Oh nevermind[ATTACH=full]452547[/ATTACH]
Harun Mwau used to do the same thing in Ukambani. Akianguka anang’oa poles na pipes za maji.
Na zile load shedding zao,it can’t be…mbona hawako kwa hiyo list
I know Moi didn’t do shit. But all I am saying is that the mass electrification project started during his era. Of course a big man’s home had to be in the vicinity.
It wasn’t mass electrification if only a few rich or well connected individuals could afford it.
Not necessarily. They were asking for 250-300k ku connect per line. It was quite some money then but ka mko 3 or 4 families, 2 could chota and pay. So reach was sporadic. Remember before that power lines only used to pass through the highways. So kuzivuta paka ndani ya reserves was the initial steps of mass electrification. Love him or hate him, it started in Mois reign.
Kawaida yako ku-argue tu for the sake of it. You contradict yourself but still hold on to your warped views. In 2002 when Moi stepped down, only 18% of the population had access to electricity. He’d been president for 24 years. By the end of Kibaki’s 10 year rule, the figure had more than doubled to 39%. Uhuru, despite his shortcomings has pushed it to above 70%. Those two are examples of mass electrification.
Moi did the very bare minimum. Just coz a few well connected individuals dug deep into their pockets doesn’t mean he was laying “the initial steps of mass electrification.” An old, rich uncle of mine told me he paid 700k to have electricity brought to his homestead in the 90s. How many people could afford such amounts? Kibaki subsidized that cost to 15k. Lakini endelea ku-argue.
