@ Charley

Your contribution has just sent me into a deep inspection of myself. I have been spun to more serious thought. I wish several more intellectual contributions like this one will continue thriving on SK !

Well,the Chinese forced 1 kid per family... and the Indians tried but failed... China is far ahead in 'quality of life'... yes,there are ethical concerns lakini WHY should I (or my 1 kid) be forced to pay for others 'poor' procreation practices?
____* Sterilise anyone who needs financial/food assistance & has more than 1 kid. Harsh but needed.
____* Kenya's population has grown much faster than the economic growth rate. Kenya was NEVER as 'arable' as Uganda lakini it could support 8 million in 1963. It cannot support 35mn (census coming up) in 2009.

VituVingiSana,i agree with you on the Chinese policy but doubt your facts on India. When India hit the One Billion Mark there was alot of celebrations across India with the then Prime-Minister remarking' A billion is there'.

@VVs,
I diagree with your thinking.Who said Kenya cannot support a population of 35Million???.....If anything,we have more than enough land,only that it's being under-utilised..........Look at Hong Kong.Well developed,has little resources compared to Kenya,yet it has a population of 7M within an area of 1,108 square kms........and Tokyo?.34.4M souls inside an area of 7,835 Km square........

VVS this thing of overpopulation is another colonial fad......sample this :

Italy - population density 199. per square KM....

Kenya -population density 59 per square km.........

Who needs to practice population control.... certeris paribas.....

@ Fundaah. Good point. But have you ever seen the kenyan style of hunger being reported about Italy. I've been there- just in case someone says,western Media would never report somthing like this.

This should get us thinking of where the real problem is.

@Njunge you're spot on. The problem has also been caused by our common definition of food security. Evryone wants to plant mais even in Ukambani. Why don't you grow mangoes,melons onions,e.t.c which do better and then have money to buy mais from Kitale?

Sure,the Indians might have celebrated a billion people... lakini that is for PR... What's the point of a billion people when most are below the poverty line?

@Njunge: My friend... HK imports most of its food & water from the mainland. Before the handover in 1997,the Chinese used to threaten to cut off the water... Yes,we under-utilise the land BUT there is a cost to intensive agriculture. Ask the Americans as well as the Indians. Problems are cropping up. The land is 'dying' under the intensive mono-culture.
