MY PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT WITHDRAWAL OF THE MOMBASA CEMENT PHILANTHROPIC ACTIVITIES

  The recent action by the Mombasa cement managing director Mr. Hasmukh Patel of removing elephant sculptures from the Makupa round-about has come as a shock to many Mombasa county residents. This is as a result of a disagreement between him and the county governor Hon. Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir. Many people are so disappointed with the governor because they believe its him who is on the wrong because information got to the people that he ordered the Mr. Hasmukh to withdraw from his philanthropic activities. God sends a few angels in this world in form of humans to do incredible things to fellow humans. These angels save lives, come to the rescue of the less fortunate at the time they are needed most. I have a strong feeling that one of the angels that was sent to this brutal world is Mr. Patel that the county governor is fighting. The good man spends like two million shillings in a day supporting patients at hospitals, helping with mortuary bills and goes to an extend of giving v...

DO YOU THINK KENYA WILL ACHIEVE VISION 2030

  Kenya Vision 2030 is the country’s new development blueprint covering the period 2008 to 2030. It aims to transform Kenya into a newly industrializing, “middle-income country providing a high quality life to all its citizens by the year 2030”. The Vision has been developed through an all-inclusive and participatory stakeholder consultative process, involving Kenyans from all parts of the country. It has also benefited from suggestions by some of the leading local and international experts on how the newly industrializing countries around the world have made the leap from poverty to widely-shared prosperity and equity. Kenya has made tremendous changes and this will surely make it achieve the 2030 vision. “Vision 2030” plan charts a path toward an economically sound, sustainable future—and bringing that future within the reach of all Kenyans will depend on how easily they can access the tools they need to build their businesses and improve their quality of life. But access can tak...

REASONS WHY HEALTH SECTOR SHOULD NOT BE DEVOLVED

  The promulgation of the new constitution in Kenya in August 2010 effectively ushered in devolution as the latest and highest form of decentralization in Kenya. The health sector was the largest service sector to be devolved under this new governance arrangement. The rationale for devolving the sector was to allow the county governments to design innovative models and interventions that suited the unique health needs in their contexts, encourage effective citizen participation and make autonomous and quick decisions on resource mobilization and management possible issues.  However, the sector in nearly all counties is currently bedevilled with monumental challenges ranging from capacity gaps, human resource deficiency, lack of critical legal and institutional infrastructure, rampant corruption and a conflictual relationship with the national government. The net effect of these challenges is the stagnation of healthcare and even a reversal of some gains according to health ind...

HOW KENYA WILL BENEFIT FROM BLUE ECONOMY

 Economic growth: Expanding the blue economy can drive economic growth by creating new industries and job opportunities. Kenya's coastal areas offer vast potential for sectors such as fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, maritime transport, and offshore energy. These industries can attract investments, generate revenue, and stimulate overall economic development. Employment opportunities: The development of the blue economy can provide employment opportunities, particularly for coastal communities. Jobs can be created in sectors like fishing, fish processing, boat building, marine tourism, and marine research. This can help alleviate poverty, reduce unemployment, and improve livelihoods in coastal regions. Sustainable fisheries: The blue economy approach emphasizes sustainable fisheries management. By adopting responsible fishing practices, such as implementing proper fishing regulations, combating illegal fishing, and promoting aquaculture, Kenya can ensure the long-term viability of ...

INABILITY TO TACKLE CORRUPTION IN KENYA AFFECTING IT'S GROWTH

 Any nation that is a free-corrupt country accomplishes tremendous goals and the people of that state tend to feel comfortable and even appreciate the authority that is put in place hence living in harmony despite the challenges that life offers. In our country Kenya, the main problem that results from under development is corruption. In almost all fields and disciplines, the bad vice of corruption must show up its ugly horns. It has become a global problem that is significantly affecting society.   The governance itself has proven itself to be a hard nut to crack. It has refused to crack the whip to those who are fond of practicing these heinous acts. The economy of the country has sky-rocketed because a few inhuman individuals who only think of themselves are making ill informed decisions that are meant to brutalize the common citizen and hence enrich themselves. Nepotism and tribalism have contributed highly to the government not making steps in terms of development. Millio...
