    "content": "We talked about being a tourist destination, but how much are we improving our tourism product? Are we amplifying the fact that we are an unmatched safari and beach destination? Our coastline is second to none in the world. We have temperate waters and a coral coastline. We must speak to economic hope by saying that the BPS has to address every single constituency in Kenya and see, for instance, how Fafi or Kibwezi West constituencies are affected. How does it encourage growth across the country? We come from an area where there is a lot of human-wildlife conflict going on and where we have people standing at the parks saying to tourists not to support them because the parks bring greater pain. What does that do to the greater country? It means we have less guests visiting because there is apathy by the locals. We cannot address this unless we are serious. Funds like Catering Levy Trustee have to look at how we can mitigate that. We have to grow and look at every individual. A country is only great by the total sum of the savings that have been mobilised by each individual, but today, you cannot determine the cost of your utilities. There is no one in Kenya who can tell with confidence what their electricity or power bill is going to be in the next one year. Are they going to buy cheaper firewood? Are they going to spend gas in a particular fashion? What will their water bills read?"
