Monday this week I attended the talk by CK Prahalad on the Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid. This talk was quite an eye opener but the government role is key to its success.
Today the government of Kenya went a step ahead and launched the water irrigation project to address food shortage by making Kenyans less dependent on rainfall.
By the way only 30 % of the viewers on Kenya Television Network ( KTN ) had confidence in the government’s intentions. I celebrate a step in the right direction and I want to believe good is possible?
On a sad note Lake Naivasha is drying up, lets pray for rain? Most of our rivers are drying up and this is truly a situation we need to start addressing and fast!
What is your take? What can we do to reverse this trend

The main issues that you have highlighted are the very issues that are swept beneath the carpet.
The long trails in the 40 plus years of Independence, urge us to take an honest look over our shoulders and ask in what direction are we heading…The driver behind the wheel driving Kenya forward is prompted to wake up to the realities. Mere words in speech is likened to empty plates on the table.You are creating the awareness in every expressed truth, most sincere and sound in all voiced.

We have had too many empty promises. Every acceptance speech has always filled people with hope but then, it is discarded in a dust beenor placed in a drawer to gather dust. Oh Oh, who will save us!

Poverty can be eradicated if we as Kenyans help in eradicating it, our leaders; churches and institutions that we look upon will never do everything for us…n there will be no angel who will ever eradicate it for us…all we need to do is to remain honest n do our part like CDF cash can do a lot in our constituency if only those in charge remain key word “honest”.
