Dear Kenyans, let me tell u about Western Kenya 🇰🇪 & why it’s been deliberately ignored by successive regimes since Moi’s Presidency. It’s the region that would sort all issues that face this country but the political class will have none of that because of the numbers.
1. Only The Late President Jomo valued Western & saw it’s potential. He ensured that it was gazetted as the Industrial region of the country. He pushed for Pan Paper, Nzoia & Mumias to be established by 1969 and that was the END of any NATIONAL development in the region to date
2. The Cabinet Sessional Paper No. 17 of 1967 that had proposed Western as an Industrial Zone and Gateway to the rest of Africa disappeared and no one ever talks about it anymore & successive governments have ensured that no one ever talks about it.
A crate of eggs that was selling at 450 shillings is now down to 360 shillings, with the fall attributed to the increased supply amidst low purchasing power across the country. sokodirectory.com/2022/05/a-crat…#SokoNews
The surplus supply of eggs, according to Kenya Poultry Association Chairperson, Wairimu Kariuki, is due to the stocks kept when the country was recovering from the effects of Covid-19 sokodirectory.com/2022/05/a-crat…#SokoNews

Dear Kikuyu’s from Central Kenya 🇰🇪, I have some questions for you. I had the opportunity to traverse your region yesterday from Thika to Murang’a to Sagana, to Karatina to Nyeri to Nanyuki & I must say, we from Western Kenya 🇰🇪 are very envious of the development there. #Thread
1. You guys have your road being dualled from Nairobi to Nyeri. You have all your feeder roads being done so enable your farmers reach markets faster. For us from Western we have zero.
2. Every home in your region is being sorted with electricity to enable businesses to operate smoothly. Everywhere transformers are being out. We in Western, we are at the mercy of Kisumu & costs are exorbitant that we have no electricity
