Kenya to Get More Cities as President Uhuru Signs New Law

Do you think this country would become any better if all the towns in Kenya became cities? The only notable thing would be an increase in buildings! Otherwise corruption & immorality would still accompany us wherever we find ourselves in! Nyani ni wale wale!

Just curious how does this help mwananchi wa kawaida or just create more slums and informal settlements and in the process lots of money get embezled

Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, Thika, Embu, and Naivasha
👆🏽👆🏽This is why we want secession.

Discrimination and shameless tribalism.

We are tired.

Well cities all over the world get lots of cash from the said world bank to develop its area.Thats one advantage guys.Also when a town becomes a city beta infrastructure r concentrated so development becomes big thing n pple starts to move in such cities juu jobs r created more.So majaa wa diaspora check the small cities eg in usa the way they create jobs,employment for the pple who r around??Ex hii storys za kenyans coming to nairobi,mombasa,kisumu to detach for opportunities it's because this cities have developed so this is good thing for uhuru to do so.Hongera raisi

Another shallow minded idea from the boy in statehouse. How does this help anyone? Declare every village a city. Bure kabisa

If Nyeri is elevated to a city then we are damned. Nyeri is the most backward town the streets are markets old colonial houses there is no pedestrian paths , no traffic circulation i know not a single pedestrian crossing . The new buildings in Nyeri are private initiatives. every other town neighboring Nyeri is growing i.e nanyuki, Nyeri Meru but Nyeri remains a village . Meru is not mentioned but it is a lot progressive than nyeri village

( Another trick to appoint friends and relatives to boards sic) The law also proposes the creation of boards to govern and manage cities and municipalities. It also outlines specific requirements for appointment to the boards.

this is a sign that kenya is growing , we need more towns n cities
funny how people have started looking this as towns belonging to certain tribes

Instead of wasting money on this big agendas that help a few who own the country, why can't we look for ways to uplift the poor e.g removing the burden of paying fees in schools,locating places where the oppressed can work,promote our local farmers e.t.c! The latest road networks, metros & skycrapers we're building will be of no use to us if our stomachs are empty!If this country is interested in real development,I suggest we invest in the common mwananchi otherwise we're slowly opening a door that leads to REVOLUTION!
Peace!

@Diana wewe unaoenda ukabila nakukalamika saa yote.I need to know u i teach u something!!Kisii,Machakos,kitengela,ngong r among mentioned so wacha zako.

Mkenya have you noticed how this Diana stinks of tribalism? She actually reminds me of an old,frail looking lady trying to get attention from passers by & who people understood to be a witch doctor! She thinks she's doing a big favour to her tribe!

Why not include kakamega if is not political creations.
