Really? Baby boom to fill the factories of the future? Why can't we have present day factories to be filled by our unemployed youths?

What baby boom did Taiwan ,Singapore or South Korea have to grow their economies?

This finally makes sense. Our GDP is generally much larger than quoted simply because many of the units of activities in our economy are never counted.

Picture this, somewhere in deep Murang'a, a housewife ties a baby to her back and spends the day collecting firewood for boiling Githeri. End result is the family feeds that day, impact on economy is nil coz the household planted the maize and beans used to make the Githeri in their subsistence shamba.

now in the UK, wifey goes to work at the tube and earns 1,500 pounds per month, takes children to a nanny who charges 300 pounds per month, in the evening she buys premade frozen food for more pounds and cooks it with electricity and freezes it with electiricity,

The activities for the UK household are recorded and add to the size of the economy without improving the individuals life while the Kenyans are not recorded and wrongly depress ours.

Trust me if you are middo crass in Kenya, you are missing nothing in this world

Sasha should tell us what Ethiopians are doing differently.

Quit pumping your bony chest Imagine how large a country Ethiopia is. If all their economic activities were to be tabulated too, we might even appear shorter. Have you seen how popular their leather shoes are in Kenya? We have nothing on them when it comes to animal husbandry.

However, I think the devolution will propel this country to great heights. 'Eating' will no-longer be centralized at the national level where nothing was expected; at county level there is pressure to perform. What is happening to the Governor, in Embu is serving as an example, what is happening in Machakos is serving as a motivation.

In 10-20 years we'll be the tallest dwarf.
