Very good question. I hope we'll get an honest answer.


@extra....

If the choice has to come from the towns you stated, I would invest such a huge sum in Thika as a private developer.

However, if the choice were for anywhere in the country, I would head to Eldoret, make my money and move to Switzerland or Singapore but retain a dual citizenship with Kenya. Am Kalejin.

Then, I would tour the world like never before.

I have always viewed Kisumu as the best place to invest for a company focused on growing in the region, especially industrial/Agricultural. A lake where one can have good supply of water. Fairly good infrastructure, cheap labor (or at least many idle people), transportation of goods by water to TZ and UG. I have always figured a good industrial/Agro town would be located there. There seem to be large chunks of idle land. There must be something wrong with Kisumu that makes people avoid it, what is it? I think Kenya Breweries may have the answer as they once invested heavily there. Or does politics interfere with work there?, I remember some American farm tried to grow some crops there and the politics exploded on them like nonsense.

my take on this is..as Simpson says "Truly visionary governments invest resources where they may not have immediate returns but improve the overall quality of life of MAJORITY of their people in the long term" Our current leaders and policy makers unfortunately are the ones to advocate for this, but with all due respect they still want to cling to the old ways of doing things. They are leading us as if they will be no tomorrow. All to them that matters is 2012. Anyone who watched Citizen today's Breakfast show the new CEO of Safaricom Knows what the future holds.

@ Much Know, You are spot on, on that. Kisumu would be the most ideal county for an agro industrial concern. What with all the requisite infrastructure. I once visited Equator bottlers on the shores of L. Victoria, water is readily available from the lake and were it not for Cocacola's restrictions, muhindi guy was saying, he would be transporting the products to Ug n Tz via the lake. Where else in Kenya can you do that?
Politics and arrogance will be Kisumu's undoing!
