Interesting. Is that thing a mosque? I had no idea Muslims had such a huge presence in those parts.

Windy..That is Guru Nanak Temple for Kalasignah (sikhs)..Africa biggest Sikh temple. Lots of Indians in Kericho.

From wikipedia..It is Africa's largest Gurudwara or Sikh place of worship...after this babuji..http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Baba_Puran_Singh

Lotsa Indians in Kericho? I guess they moved from Kisumu after the 07 riots.

RV Pundit · « **Reply #7 on:** August 07, 2015, 07:19:29 PM »

I doubt. The indians in Kericho are old school like those in Kisumu. They own old business.

Thank you RV Pundit for sharing this information with the forum. This is an excellent example of how dispersed growth away from the center Nairobi will eventually spur increasing returns in hitherto underdeveloped and peripheral regions of the country. And workers will not have to trek unnecessarily to the so-called "City in the Sun" in search of imaginary jobs.

Fantastic.

Yes one would want to imagine 47 cities emerging from devolution. For now I see some few towns joining the five cities we have (NB0,MBA,NKR,KSM,ELD) and these probably are Garissa,Nyeri,Machakos,Meru,Kericho,Kakamega, Kisii]...and possibly Bungoma/Kitale/Nanyuki/Embu.

Pundit,
Hows Kericho Tea hotel doing?
There used to be one kiosk that had excellent mahamri in Kapsuser. Thats the only place i ever ate. Wonder if its still there.
Recently, we were driving on the Kerich Nakuru hiway and it was raining heavily. All over sudden a pool of water came rushing and almost swept us right near Barclays, Kericho. Hope they care of drainage before building roads.

OMG Pundit, what a beautiful scenery

Kericho is blooming!

I have awful and great memories of Kericho. Lived there for six month after being thrown into approved school by my uncle for missing classes. Good memories - We used to go to a place called Tengecha every weekend. Local kids were afraid of us, but the ladies loved us.

I was a great kid growing up, never got into fights maybe because I was twice as tall and big than normal kids my age.

A year later I ended up at Starehe Boys

I also started schooling at Highlands Primary right at the center of town...

Tea hotel has seen the best of times..but it still standing. Ngeny's MidWest was converted into university college. The road is now dual way....maybe you passed it during the construction time...but it very good all the way to Kisumu...the kericho-sotik road has always been good.

When were you in Tengecha (Kapkatet actually). That's my safe zone all the way to Mogogosiek etc. I even got a Kale gal to stick on me. That's why I respect Pundit because despite our fights he remains stoic. Those people there suffer no nonsense. But if you wash your hands clean you'll eat with them the best meals

was Kabianga high school converted to a University?

RV Pundit · « **Reply #16 on:** August 11, 2015, 08:34:55 AM »

No. Kabianga farmers college was converted to university together with Kericho teacher college. Kabianga high is still standing across the road.

My home place...3kms from Mogogosiek...we swam in that river for many years..my daughter is probably swimming there now during holidays. In picture..are villagers waiting for body of a boy who drowned to be retrieved.

I think there is nothing remarkable about my place (Konoin) except the rains...I doubt there is a place in kenya that receive that much rainfully ..and hailstorms of course..where it world leading place to receive that much hailstorm...i think one year they record about 150 days of hailstorm...and another year...they recorded rainful daily for one year.

Kericho, Kenya sees around 50 days of hail annually and holds the record of 132 days in one year.

Quote

The most hail prone spot on the planet is Kericho, Kenya that averages about 50 days of hail each year and, in 1965, recorded 113 days of hail.

Pundit -

It would be nice to see at least one governor with the intellectual gravitas -- definitely not Mutua of Machakos, whom I consider a lightweight --put together a coherent economic plan. Here's what I want to see:

* Forecasting coverage
* Historical data set - Quarterly basis
* Forecasting horizon [and why the national government ought to avail funds in a predictable and not the current ad hoc manner]
* Online data access and analytic tools
* CGE Model [basis for economic linkages]

On the basis of this, I can then see a future whereby, say, a Governor Isaac Ruto campaigning for national office on a platform of regional economic development... and if astute enough arms himself with solid economic development forecasting models, that he could use to make his case as the presidential candidate who'd foster economic linkages of Bomet, Kericho and Kisumu, for example. This type of argument can be compelling enought to overide some of this tribal nonsense like the vacuous tyranny of numbers b.s. put out by that !dio+.
