I love how we are investing billions in education. We've heard a 138 % increase in the number of TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training)admissions.We are investing in humans,which is very key. Healthcare is another sector that we are trying.In Africa's HDI ranking,we are at position four,we can only get better!

Below is an excerpt from our budget policy statement 2019 (BPS 2019)

Yea, we're doing fairly well if you check the current status and treand...esp on the two education and electricity supply, Nigeria is going the opposite direction

Continue growing whilst others get the 'real growth'!

Kazikazi:
Stop lying Mr kiberan, we make many stuffs which you don't! Or should we start comparing?

A black leopard it is ,notice the spots

JaceBlaze:
Isn't that a Jaguar?

Even if we take them both as they are,we still trounce you!

edon21:
wrong right?
haha
and you think the others are right ?

Yes,so much more has happened.If we achieve our Medium Term Plan 2018-2022(MTP 2018-2022)....We would be at good places. We just need to actualize like 80% of this and boom the whole country will break into a song and dance! It's doable with the right people and passion!

Kur17:
Some stat are older, there's allot of changes currently...

It's happening rvp2018

We need this SEZ if at all we want to prop up our manufacturing capacity as a nation!

Wrong stats for Kenya on some fronts.Look at electricity and the literacy rate figures!

Kenya wins hands down

Kenya offers the seventh remarkable rail tour in the world

Great,I'm in love with the pictures!

XhosaNostra:


Before they start claiming it was done by whites. These were launched in 2012. We spent billions on the project.

This is something we can copy! It looks modern and clean!

Only in Kenya!

But this method also fails to count for different price regimes or taxes in different countries! Our beer tax is one of the highest in the world but our beverage industry is one of Africa's best.People still drink anyways no matter the taxes and it's normal for them because that's the prices! Our sin tax is very punitive,yet this industries flourish.

I guess all metrics have their flows! It's interesting seeing that this list would change if you factor in per capita PPP for example!

theenchanter:
yeah, value of products may not be accounted for but that's d main reason products or services of d same value are compared. Examples..

* the price of Heineken in country A vs country B (Heineken is the same all over d world)
* prices of food products of each countries.
* rents in d said countries (the same type of apartment and neighbourhood is very important here) And so on...

So, instead of bragging over "who has the highest bla bla bla" or "who earns the highest bla bla bla" when converted to dollars, ppp must be introduced into such comparison.

That's only a valuation and it was in 2017? Looking at the Knight Frank's report,Kenya can only be compared with either South Africa or Nigeria in the property market!

This is what the article said,don't celebrate too quick!


Nairobi "more lucrative"

They, however, said that[b] rents have been falling in Dar even as growth remains steady in Nairobi, making the Kenyan capital more lucrative in terms of return on investment.[/b]

“Honestly, we are struggling to sell space in Dar. So based on a long-term view, Nairobi’s capital value will be higher,” said Ben Woodhams, the managing director of Knight Frank – a property firm with a footprint in Kenya and Tanzania.



“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much it costs to construct a building but how much returns it generates,” he added.

The World Bank report, however, says Nairobi has the highest replacement value for its built-up area and built-floor area ahead of Dar, Addis Ababa and Kigali, even as it lags the global standards.

“Our analysis of imagery from satellites and geographic information systems (GIS) confirms that in African cities, capital investment not only appears low near the urban core, but rapidly declines outside it.”

Mr Woodhams said property markets in Dar and Nairobi tell of different stories since the majority of new buildings in Tanzania are government-funded while Kenya’s is private sector-driven.

He said that the swanky public buildings in Dar are likely to generate near zero-returns in the near term since they are occupied by parastatals and government departments, meaning Dar is expected to record a drop in capital value should the lull in the private sector activity persist.

Pwaaaa Pwa Pwa pwaaa

Nigerians haven't even hacked Nigeria itself,let alone West Africa.How can they be the biggest players in this continent's so as to influence this continent's geopolitics?

edon21:
what is left to explain with this

Scary thoughts? This accidents happens almost anywhere! Trains derail,airplanes get lost,roads curve in,sewage pipes burst-they are accidents and happen everywhere and at anytime.Don't be so daft.So,if a Kenya Airways flights crushes today,will it be the wonders of wonders?

abbeg:
If even planes are colliding then what of the cars and buses?
That is a scary thought
*shivers*

But what's the percentage difference in our PPP values? If that value is divided by the total population,what are the figures? If you are going to accept PPP,then be ready to accept ppp per capita!

Kazikazi:
So nominal GDP is common because it favors you? Why do we have PPP? Stop your madness! All methods counts!

What our currencies can buy in our countries forgetting about the value of the product or the service ones get.How can you compare the price of a haircut or bread in Nairobi and Ndjamena then conclude that the Chadian currency has more value because it looks cheaper to buy products there?

theenchanter:
Purchasing power parity (PPP) is an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies. It's like saying...instead of just converting our currencies to dollar for comparison, let's compare what our currencies can buy in our countries in order to know d value of the currencies. So, it's a very potent metric.
there's nothing like that. if u want to know, just check the per capita incomes of the nations u want to compare, then finally; u measure them with their respective PPP's.

Looking at that table, I can say Egypt has d most valuable currency in africa, slightly followed by Nigeria, then SA.

Kenya is the fifth wealthiest country in the whole of Africa. This might be the best method of assessing a country's economic might as it calculates wealth held by individuals and not the one that passes through the government.And when this wealth is given in per capita calculations,our position is even better!

NairobiWalker:
Here are cities by wealth. Where is Dar es Salaam? Accra is richer than Dar es Salaam.

They know how to paint iron-sheets!

NairobiWalker:
Nyingine ndio hiyo.

And South Africa with a more bigger export figure and GDP per capita is trounced by both Nigeria and Egypt.PPP itself isn't as common as compared to GDP when doing economic comparisons! What about per capita income PPP?

Kazikazi:
Where is Kenya here?

It must have a strong list of alumni!

vaxx:
This is the oldest secondary school in GHANA. . it is around 140 years plus

mfastipim secondary school. This is where kofi annah graduate before proceeding to uni

Kenyatta University where I learn built an 110 million dollar hospital.What you are showing us is child's play!

Kazikazi:
Before you talk about cities...
Are you in this level?
This is a public hospital in Tanzania. Remember we did more heart operations than anyone else in Africa

I live in this City and it's brilliant!

NairobiWalker:
................and some Tanzanian idiot tells you the only city Kenya has is Nairobi. Can you compare Mwanza to this?

Buildings that defined Mombasa's past history with the Middle East plus India

The first one was a mosque that was later converted into a church!

The second building is Aldina Visram High School

The last building is the Ismailia Mosque

I see! That's great!

While Kenya was trading stocks at the local market since the 1950's. Samsobo and company were busy hunting and gathering rats!

The building where the stock trade used to happen is now the Sarova Stanley Hotel!


1. Since 1902, The Sarova Stanley prides itself as Kenya's first luxury hotel and the region's only place where African hospitality has been refreshed ever since.

2. Kenya's first locally brewed beer was served at Sarova Stanley's long bar in 1923.

3. The Exchange Bar at the hotel was once the site of Nairobi's first Stock Exchange, from 1954 until 1991 before they moved.

This city was buzzing since time in memorial!

We've got this old buildings and old towns which are well kept!

From banks,libraries,PC's office and e.t.c
