The year 2009 is closing in just 2 days.
It is one year that taught us lessons in life. We lived with double speak from our political leaders. It exposed some of them, those who never believed in the struggle. They became our saviours, or so they thought.
These lessons must have strengthened the view some of us hold on Devolution.
Many people have spoken about this before. But I want to invite you take on the same. Is it not time we took the headquarters of the various government Ministries and Departments out of Nairobi.
Peace, blessings and Happy New Year to you.

It is only through such distribution that we will be able to develop the whole of Kenya. We will have many visiting in need of services and in the process, they will have to rent for the night, buy local food, make new friends and sample the richness that Kenya is.
It is time some bold decisions were made at how we govern Kenya. The ball is on your court.
its obsolutely clear that the above writter does not have a have a clue what it means to have a capital city and what its means to have headquaters
William,
I really know the meaning of a Capital City. However, 46 years have taught us its real meaning; that it will lead to subjugating other parts of the country and deny them their fair share of national development.
We need not to continue on the same line. We can develop our own system and develop the whole country at the same time. It will also encourage us to visit across our country.
Lastly, it will provide access to equal opportunities in terms of infrastructural development; roads, housing, lighting, etc.
