Pundit why are you not trumpeting this SOLID Kalenjin Ruto and Sakaja achievement? Itumbi should fire you.

Our 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.  

The world is… pic.twitter.com/xeJoF1kMWp

Good.
whats the Criteria for selection.

Paris 2023 is a real ghetto , from metro to the tourist attraction places.
So much hype for nothing . Every time in the metro witnessed pickpocketing a minimum 3 times from Romanis to North Africans.
So many West africans meandering and the racism dont even ask .

[Georgesoros]

It is very difficult to survive in the West unless you have a plan. Just hoping to find a job and work your way up is very hard these days, especially is you have no skills.

Thanks to the previous governments, Kaunda and Ndanganya have done nothing for Nairobi in the one year of power. In all seriousness, this is a paid for survey, Nairobi is nowhere near to top destinations to visit in the world, it’s not even close.

Did the authors of that report happen to pass by Pipeline? They would change their report on the spot.

[veritas]

Well, Lonely Planet focuses on kinda poor countries.

Why is Paris on the list? I hate Paris, Nairobi is so much better than Paris.

Paris is the city of love. What does Nairobi stand for?

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.

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.

Nairobi is a shifty city, Paris even shittier

[Nefertiti]

Maui is a cool place to visit. Before the fire.

Amsterdam is okay too in the summer, a cultural melting pot like LA. At least the last time I was there.

Never been that awed by Paris despite all "city of love" bla bla it's more and more a shithole. Reminds me of Joburg, we had a class trip in 2006, Sandton suburb was cute with all the jacaranda- lined boulevards. The tour guide still told us how degraded it had become since end of apartheid. Alas, by 2015 during the xenophobic rampage it was such a shithole I couldn't believe it.

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

I watched Ruto opening phone or car assembly in Machakos? recently. He seems to be talking about Dongo Kundu SEZ, etc constantly

Basically manufacturing is the first chasm in development - turning into consumer- from export- driven is the second chasm. Most of Ruto trips will attract service FDI so I agree it's hard to crack manufacturing.

[Nefertiti]

Not sure if phone assembly is manufacturing or service. Dongo Kundu SEZ I guess is textile, fish and such. With the long line of Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, Ethiopia compe is fierce

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.
