With the passing of the new constitution and devolution set to take full effect after the March 2013 elections,it is obvious that some counties are disadvantaged while compared to others in terms of investment opportunities.This is the time every seasoned investor is busy separating the wheat from the chaff.My eyes are on Nakuru county.It is linked to Nairobi by a highway and has a bulging population especially in Nakuru Town and Naivasha town.With the numerous horticulture farms in the area especially around Naivasha,and a booming tourist destination i.e Lake Nakuru National Park,Lake Naivasha,Hells Gate etc...this is certainly a county to watch going forward.The tourism is a big Plus...dont forget geothermal energy and mushrooming industries(the likes of keroche)
A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Those are the pros working for Nakuru. What about the cons? Ethnic tension? Pollution of Lake Naivasha by the town's industries? What will post March-2013 Nakuru look like? Perhaps it would pay to analyse counties in a more in-depth manner and distinguish opportunities in various locales eg Naivasha, Nakuru town, Rongai, Molo, Olengurouone etc. Furthermore, what do you mean by "investment opportunities"? Could it be that there are investment opportunities that locals do not see as opportunities. eg there are many counties that perhaps do not consider agriculture as an opportunity (mainly because it is seen as a subsistence rather than commercial activity). A bulging population could be an advantage to some and a disadvantage to others. Counties like Isiolo or Marsabit have opportunities to set up wind/solar farms because of low-population densities, exposure to loads of sunshine ... etc
