THE PEOPLE OF NORTH RIFT MUST TAKE NOTE OF THIS: 1. The people of Central Kenya disowned & fought Mungiki by siding with the govt. Central Kenya is now safe & conducive for development, business, progress. 2. The people of Nyanza especially in the metropolitan areas like Migori County co-operated & ended negative tribalism. The now integrate & are developing faster than many places in the country. 3. The people of Central Rift i.e Nakuru & Laikipia gave peace & nationalism the first priority. They are now reaping the handsome benefits of peace, tourism is booming, businesses are flourishing. 4. The people of South Rift in Narok, Kericho & Bomet have been living in peace for a longer time & look how it is having the best educated & skilled manpower in Rift Valley & also across the country. 5. The people of Coast Region have been generating alot of money for themselves & Kenya before 2011 when terrorism struck with the aid of very few locals. Today as we speak, hotel occupancy is at its low in history. The better they learn their mistake & work with the GOK much will still be lost. 6. The North Rift people have been fighting over cattle & pasture for over long periods of time. Lives have been lost. Infrastructure is poor. Businesses are not as such promising in Marakwet, Pokot, Turkana & Samburu. We live in fear of one another. We are languishing in abject poverty. Illiteracy is at all time high. Safe for Uasin Gishu, Nandi & Keiyo, we are at par with Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit, Tana River or even Kwale. Look at how poverty levels are high: Turkana 88%. Pokot 66%. Marakwet 64 %. Baringo 52%. I will do research for the statistics from Samburu. NOTES: Several factors have contributed to these sorry state of affairs. I hereby name them; 1. Failed leadeship of KANU of divide & rule. I remember that this North Rift Region still embraces the retrogressive ideologies of the independence party. 2. Backward cultural practices e.g FGM & embraced culture of cattle rustling. 3. High levels of illiteracy. Many colleges & varsities are found in developed counties like Uasin Gishu, Baringo, Nandi & Trans Nzoia. 4. The vastness & remoteness of the region. 5. Poor infrastucture & communication. 6. The backward lurch i.e the resistance of the people to embrace better change. As I invite all of you to bring your views, crititisism, solutions & words of inspiration, may I say that it is either we change for a stronger people from today & onwards or we perish as divided fools forever. Politics aside. Welcome.
