Kibaki and Uhuru have failed to reduce poverty

The abandoned children numbers are growing at a rate of 10% per year. in 1999 the estimated street children in nairobi was 250,000 that number now is over 500,000. There is another about 200,000 in formal and informal children homes all over the country.. Kiambu county and Nairobi country alone may have over 30,000 abandoned kids in children homes. It is really a shame that the government hasnt been able to tackle this problem at the root cause. Kenya needs to offer these kids for adoption

Let us say Kenya encouraged all kenyans in USA to adopt each a kid. We have over 50,000 households with an average income of $56,000 those would be 50K kids adopted. If Kenya gave the middle class in Kenya money incentives to Foster these kids we would have another 200K adopted or foster cared for until the go to high school.

This is one issue that need to be addressed. I think Gok should just budget 1B for children rehabiliation centers every year. They should be picked from streets and taken  to those children home - located in remote places - they cannot escape.

In 1980s Moi took a once booming education system and flsuhed it down the drain. 20 years later there are millions of 30 something suffering from rampant poverty due to poor education. Kibaki tried to revive it but Uhuru came in and has continued where Moi left. There are millions of kids who cant construct a simple sentence even though they are 8th grade. Matiangi is trying but there is no money ..... All monies go into campaigns and corruption, and killing opponents of the mafia system. Uhuru cant deconstruct the mafia system because he uses it to his benefit. So, the next chapter reads as the last one.

Kenya education has become garbage. it is the same with developed countries where the lower classes and middle class kids education is crap. In kenya metriocrity needs to reinstituted where by a thug like Sonko should not be allowed near power even Joho should be in jail. GOK needs to get serious and rehab these kids. The reason why Msando and Jacob Juma died is because with this level of poverty you can hire a hitman for 10K and he will go to jail to await hanging when arrested. I used to manage Cement warehouses for my family in Parklands. When the truck tailer would arrive on saturday night after workers had gone home I would ask one of the chokoras to get me help. He would arrive with 10 boys about age 16 to 19 years. I would hire them to offload the truck. I used to pay them about 500 shillings that was 25 years ago. I would then tip them another 100 which I would buy them food  or snacks if the eateries were closed. I they would then escort my driver to the parking yard, and to the lodging or his bus stage. I wonder what happened to those kids after we closed the warehouse. They are honest and really honorable kids. Whenever I would go to bank and didn't have a car I had them form security team 2 in front 3 in the back and they would see that I get to riverroad bank without being robbed in Nyayo market where thugs used to terrorise people.
