Figures and especially tax figures – don’t lie. Despite the bastardization attempts by various vested interests devolution is gradually proving to defend itself with tangible results.

But what does this bit by Betty Maina tell us about our capitalist.

“While we appreciate the initiatives most of them have rolled out in health and education, the investing community is interested in better infrastructure which would have a significant impact on the economy and hence yield more revenue,” Ms Maina said.

Are our capitalists are this mean? I thought disease and lack of competent labour are really holding down meaningful development. Hospital bills are impoverishing Kenyans in a week. Very few Kenyans can afford a medical bill past 200k. The question therefore is: should industrialists be interested on roads, energy, water and infrastructure only?

Devolution is sure way whether you look at it from political or economic view point.

On hospital bills, we need to find out a formula towards a National Health Insurance System. NHIF need to be reformed and made as big as UK’s NHS or Obama care.
