I'll save my constituency where I live with my children ....not where I once lived when I was a child.

Yes I have to. Nyeri tuko vibaya. Tetu,othaya and mukurweini are all below the population threshold.

Unfortunately it feels like stopping floods with bare hands.

Every year, the young men and women clearing high school and colleges pack their bags and leave in search of opportunities.

Coming back is seen as being a failure. Nobody comes back.

In my village, there are atleast 50 homesteads either manned by a shamba boy or completely abandoned.

Of course the media guys have been running with the story of abandoned schools due to lack of kids. And then they attribute it to alcoholism and low birth rates.

But I will still go.

What ails Nyeri? It is beautiful country with lots of potential. When I see the Nyeri young population gathering in the dustbowl and in the Ruai-Kangudo road areasd'oh! d'oh! . Those are low potential areas compared to Nyeri.

I wish Nyeri folks could try integrate themselves to the Nakuru economy instead of the Nairobi one. Their leaders are now pushing for dualling of the Kenol-Marua road instead of focusing on the B5-Nakuru-Nyeri highway.

Look at the figures for local revenue 9 months to 2018/2019

Nairobi 8,242
Narok 2,664
Mombasa 2,612
Nakuru 1,959
Kiambu 1,837

Kajiado 731
Uasin Gishu 680
Bungoma 605
Nyeri 601
Laikipia 573

If nobody wants to live there, let the constituency die. That money can be channelled elsewhere instead of wastage by governors and MPs.

As for the Nakuru suggestion @wukan, why not build the Nyeri economy?
