In a CNN survey, Kenya and Nigeria are ranked as the only two African countries that are likely to experience 'Tiger Economy’growth in the next 20 years.
Nairobi is the African city generating the most dollar millionaires per capita each year, according to a global survey concluded two months ago.
At 70 per cent, Kenya has the second highest electricity penetration in sub-Saharan Africa after South Africa as of December 2017.

I could go on and on and on but let me leave it there. It is instructive however that the loudest complainers and whiners come from the most unproductive parts of the country. Kazi ni ku-alternate between ‘serikali saidia’ and ‘we have been marginalised’, in between of course getting eight charcoal black niggalets per woman.
If I was to do the entire list, Ngabu, it won’t end until the cows come home. Many Kenyans may not know this but the life for average Kenyan is better today than for the average Greek, members of the EU. Throw in the toxic delusions of black caucasians like our own @Purple and you have a masturbatory orgy…

Most of the so called dollar millionaires can’t explain what they do.
My main worry though, is that paraffin consumption have dropped by 75%, meaning that we are on the verge of an environmental disaster. Due to high demand for charcoal and firewood.
For Kenya to achieve its cherished newly developed status, we will need a change of mindset. Redirecting of wasted energy of negativity to productivity. President Uhuru term has been spent on laying the foundations of growth, infrastructure and structures for industrial growth. It has come at a price in form of debt but it was very necessary. Those of you who were full of hate for him last year are half way there by praising him for handcheque. By 2022 you will be singing his praises loudly. What will need to change are peoples mindset, less talk and more work. Personally I respect the 500,000 to 1 million people who wake up early every morning to walk or toil to various part of the city for work or hustle. Once all these infrastructures are done including housing, then their painfully hard work will pay off. However we have this equally large middle class that is growing lazy, entitled, loud and being less productive. They in turn have opportunities available to them to prosper. The wheels of change in Kenya are constant and growing. The government is busy 24/7 trying to fulfill its promise to the people since 2013. There are mistakes here and there but many success here and there. I for one I’m glad to be part of that change personally and professionally.
You may be right but then you may be wrong. Life in Greece like in most of Europe is fairly expensive YET THE MAXIMUM ANYBODY WITH BANK ACCOUNTS IN GREECE COULD WITHDRAW FROM A BANK EACH MONTH WAS 2,300 EUROS. tHAT’S LIKE 300,000 KES, which for a family of four in a European city is rather limiting.
