However, it is also a region that has great potential. Recently, Mr. Affey invited me to accompany him to northern Kenya and I was surprised at the beauty of this area in spite of the difficulties that the people face there. There are great opportunities of film-making in this country. As we overflew parts of northern Kenya, we saw great landscape and vast land un-occupied by human beings. However, if there was infrastructure, we would have what Hollywood dreams of as a perfect setting for film- making. We need proper infrastructure past Isiolo District. If sufficient funds are set aside for this region for infrastructure including proper roads and electricity, this region can be opened up into a great potential. We have had film makers going to South Africa to make films there. Millions of dollars have gone to that country. We would make a lot of money if we opened up northern Kenya, had infrastructure in place and film makers came to this country."}
