?t=5Jg1BdG4f3iU0sFTVUALdw&s=19Our endeavours to sell Kenya throughout the world are paying off. Everywhere we go, we have offered everyone - investors, innovators, creators, professionals and travellers of all ages - a compelling reason to visit Kenya. And we have countless such reasons.

Well, Lonely Planet focuses on kinda poor countries.
Why is Paris on the list? I hate Paris, Nairobi is so much better than Paris.
December last year I was robbed in Paris and pick pocketed in Paris. For a minute I thought France was first world its a shit hole full of thieves. Garbage everywhere...Never been mugged in Nairobi. Beside fumes filled walk around NBO city centre what other activities are there in NBO. Build a theme park in NBO, bring in paramount brothers, focus on family friendly activities.
I get you being Muhindi in Europe is not easy. Brothers would not rob one of their own.December last year I was robbed in Paris and pick pocketed in Paris.

Mhindi runs the world ask the king..On my way to West Africa from America, I had my stop over at Charles De Gaulle. I made a mistake of buying a carry on luggage when I already had one I was dragging along. I also bought some stuff and put it in the hand luggage I don't know how I ended up at check in but they could not allow me to board with two hand luggages. I surrendered the knew luggage and its contents for check in. I recall seeing so many ground staff hauling luggage around at the airport and most of them were black! So what happened? Well that one never arrived at my destination and my previously checked in luggage from the US was tampered with. On arrival I had so much stuff missing. Anyway I put in a claim to Air France and without much ado, they actually refunded me all the dollars on my claim. Seems France knows it is infested with thieves.I get you being Muhindi in Europe is not easy.

Paris and France is generally turning into a shithole have heard many complaints from travelers who have been there.
Nairobi is doing well but travellers ofcourse will ignore Eastlands and hear less about it, generally the culmination of Nairobi as top travel destinations is from several factors arising from Kibakis time namely improvement of the road sectors across the city,Ruto has also in his travels marketed Kenya seriously you have to respect him for this,but Ruto needs bring in hard stuff like manufacturing, service industry is not sustainable or tangible,it can never develop a country to first world status
Labour cost in kenya is ridiculously high to attract meaningful textile industry to compete with other sweatshops in bangladesh, india, vietman etc. Cost of production has to be addressed. Kenya is caught in a no mans land, it has hign labour cost for unskilled labour and not enough skilled labour to attract specialized jobs at reasonable labour cost.At current exchange rate of shilling to the dollar, workers including white collar jobs are paid $100 dollars a month so which high labour jobs are you talking about? Ama ni kuropoka tu? Western countries take manufacturing of known brands to China and Taiwan. Those leaving China are headed to lower cost countries that you mentioned, India, Mexico, and Vietnam. Our labour costs with those countries are equivalent to these countries. Our undoing is corruption and tax policy that make easy of doing business unfavorable.

Correct. We cannot compete with Bangladesh on labour cost for Walmart prices and we don’t have the industry capability to compete with Turkey in the ashion market. This is why in the NASA manifesto I proposed leveraging local fashion to build capability. https://t.co/dcgD8mi0JH pic.twitter.com/gDedGak31y
