Wealth maximization is a function of how the county economies will be modelled and run.

Can someone please explain how these counties are going to be economically viable?

[quote=Mukiri]I'm no expert in this field but I know a few things.
1. There has been alot of unchecked financial crime in Kenya
2. This financial crime goes unabated because of impunity and corruption
3. We have just come into a windfall Oil, Coal etc

If we elect criminals, it will be the same old story maybe even worse. Common sense would dictate then, do away with the old. In light of these, I'm voting a Peter Kenneth/Raphael Tuju alliance. If they win Kenya might go places, If they lose I'll have made my statement![/quote]

I doubt it will be worse.Kenyans have experienced too much change and freedom to allow some few politicians to try and take things back to pre 2002 era.We're not perfect but at least now we hope,expect and sometimes demand results.

There we disagree.. It can get worse! War worse. Look at countries with oil Nigeria, Libya, Sudan etc. Oil is big money, people kill for it. And maybe it has started disguised as cattle rustling, dons out to clear land of their inhabitants. OAR has a history '92 coup, '08 PEV, Uhuruto its already out and in the hague. Any of these criminals and Kenia is doomed.[/quote]
I mean no disrespect to other E.Africans but here I go. I think Kenya is a pillar of stability in this region.For that reason I don't think the other nations would allow its interest in Kenya and the E.A region suffer because of a few individuals or oil. How would they get oil and other commodities in and out of the region with Kenya in turmoil?

Not dictate.They will use "persuasion":-d
In this globalized world we live in,I believe economic interests influence political will.
