Will the metropolitan plan take another 35 yrs to be pulled from the shelves if its blue print was developed in 1973 but benefited Malaysia instead?

"..for Vision 2030 to succeed, the country must develop Nairobi's status to that of other cities .."

Expansion of Nairobi? Is that what Kibaki and Kenyatta want? Is that the reason that ODM had to be kept out of control of critical ministries? The GEMA control most of the retail, small business in and around Nairobi. And they have ways of keeping it so. The GEMA owe their prosperity and prolific population growth on the benefits they enjoy from the presence of Nairobi in their heartland. And the control of Kenya's revenue oils their sense of entitlement to Kenya's land, mineral and human resources - to plunder at will.

So you would rather work on the viraka (and maybe pay more for an unsightly, unsatisfactory patchwork) than start afresh on better plans that take into account future growth. Maybe the foreigners will be kind enough of those Kenyans to tell them that they need a new site and new plans. [But then the foreigners - and the World Bank and IMF and EU and ... - stand to make plunder more of the wealth out of Kenya for years to come by plugging up the shortcomings in the patchwork.]

Many non-GEMA Kenyans were recently slaughtered in Nairobi, Thika and Naivasha etc. The GEMA claim Nairobi as theirs - and they own most of the real estate - courtesy of Kenyatta and Kibaki. The occasional well-to-do, non-GEMA, non-white small businessman that dares to emerge - against all odds - and compete in Nairobi and the surrounding GEMA strongholds in Central, Eastern and Rift Valley Province is summarily executed by the Mungiki. Case never solved.

When did you hear Mungiki's Kibaki/Kenyatta publicly and clearly denounce and reject the terrorist, Mungiki murderers?

Maybe a new modern capital (built on plans that look into the future) is in order - and Nairobi shall remain a provincial Mungiki/GEMA center for Kibaki-Kenyatta-Karume axis of evil.
