@Radio that has already happened. Few people come to do banking in the CBD and most malls are out of the city.
Moving malls and services out of the city is not gonna cut it. Last I checked, the City is still chocking in endless traffic, water shortages, lack of sanitation, incessant flooding, inadequate housing, lack of open spaces......
All these are getting worse. So what problem have we solved?

I am not even sure what you are saying here. Relocating jobs means relocating people. Which means fewer people live in the city and its environs.
Quote:Kenya has done relatively well in promoting growth of towns other than capital.
Clearly we havent.
In 1985, 5% of Kenyans lived in Nairobi. Today 10% of Kenyans live in Nairobi. The proportion of Kenyans living in Nairobi has doubled which means most people want to migrate to the city. Other towns are not much of an option
Compare this with New York for example. In 1985, New York had 3.2 % of the population of the USA. Today that proportion has reduced to 2.5%. Thats means they are doing a good job of promoting other cities.
Quote:Do you know any other city in Uganda for example except Kampala?
I don't know if this is a serious question.
In any case if we want the country to progress then why should we compare ourselves with Uganda which is another sheet-hole?
This is like a parent reading their child's report form when the child was number 49 out of 50 and the parent responds by saying "At least you are not last"
