"content": "I went to Kakamega, I saw the same focus. I guess I am focusing more on Nairobi because I stay here most of the time. Therefore, Nairobi is more evident. I was driving along the suburbs around Parliament, Riverside to be precise. I saw a small kiosk coming up. If nobody gets it down the next day they will be two and the next day they will be four. Before you know it there is a slum. I know we are facing challenges and we must deal with the people who are struggling to live and do their small businesses, but we can do it in an orderly manner. We can build for them small, decent beautiful structures even in those suburbs, so that we do not have very strange looking things in our neighborhoods. If we want let us visit places like Botswana, Namibia, Rwanda and South Africa. I do not want us to go far. I am using the example of Rwanda because it is the country that should offer us the greatest challenge. They had years of war. They lost many people but they have reconstructed their country. We have had faith in young people. We are electing young people now. If the older people cannot make a difference, why can our young people, especially the governors not do that? When the Governor for Machakos was elected, he seemed to have had that vision. I do not know what happened in between. I want to encourage him as well to maintain that focus that he had at the beginning so that we can transform our country."
