Yes, time to open up the northern corridor, but slowly, because we might end up with white elephants, like Isiolo intl airport, and even Lamu port is struggling. But looking at the impact the Isiolo-Moyale road is making - seeing the trade with Ethiopia growing - there is need to accelerate development up the north.

Definitely LAMU - LOKICHOGGIO highway -is long overdue - and will create a new corridor.

Saddamochieng00:


We were lucky enough to have such bright minds just after independence. Now that were well on way of developing the whole of the Northern corridor, focus should now shift to Lappset and opening up of North Eastern.

The TRUTH about the Potemkin city of empty mansions and open defecation.

Compare the so called Potemkin village with ur crappy Mombasa. Maybe what is stopping Mombasa from looking advanced is the lack of Potemkin vibes which has been replaced with slums. Go figure.

Lekki Port is West Africa's first deep water port.
It will have a thoroughput of 1.6m teu, to combine with the 1.5m teu of the Lagos ports. That will put Lagos behind Egypt, South Africa and Morocco. Probably Algeria too.
We are targeting more regional trade with the construction of a rail line to Niger. By 2023, I see at least a 5% growth rate for the Nigerian economy.

Everyday food is scarce - famine is when people start dying from hunger - like happened in kenya in 1889, Nigeria in 1960s in Biafra region, Ghana and Ethiopia in 1980s, and Somalis recently. Irish famine, China had several, amongst many other countries.

Famine is not just a joke. As we peak they are millions in Ghana now who are food insecure - but that has not to reach FAMINE. Famine is as serious as COVID or ebola epidemics.

"Famine is not a word that we use lightly," said Erminio Sacco, a food security expert with the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).

According to the IPC scale, famine exists when at least 20 percent of the population in a specific area has extremely limited access to basic food; acute malnutrition exceeds 30 percent; and the death rate exceeds two per 10,000 people per day for the entire population.

"This scientific methodology helps to avoid famine becoming a term misused for political reasons," Sacco said.

In Africa there have been several famines in recent decades, from Biafra in Nigeria in the 1970s to the 1983-1985 Ethiopian famine, which ushered in a new form of celebrity fundraising and unprecedented media attention on the suffering.

The last famine in the world was in Somalia in 2011, which killed an estimated 260,000 people.

All of this has nothing to do with Ghana.

5 years ago, Boni Forest Used to be Alshababs Training ground, but today, Kenyan security forces have taken Over and are utilizing it to sharpen their skills. Nigerian security forces should come and benchmark on how to conduct a successful counter-insurgency operation.

BONI FOREST, LAMU COUNTY TODAY.this is what we call interporability. Security organizations in Kenya like Kenya Police, KWS, NYS, KFS & KCG.conducting an exercise with a clear command and operational structure.

Add behind Kenya in there - because Lamu deep sea port - is already operational - and it bigger in capacity with Lekki.

They should come first for lesson on how to deal with cattle rustling...I think counterinsurgency is way above their paygrade.

Ghana Famine of 1983-1984 that still is nightmarish in your country to even talk about. Otherwise in terms of food security - I bet kenya despite being ASAL mostly - is better than Ghana. I bet in terms of malnutrition - kenya does better.

With Ethiopia opening up - Kenya firms starting to go to Ethiopia. Kenya flower firms went to Ethiopia 20yrs ago but had issues with repatriation of profit. Let hope this time it's better.

Kenyan ride-hailing firm Little is expanding to Addis Ababa joining Safaricom and several other Kenyan firms in the race to crack the Ethiopian market that has so far remained closed to foreign firms.

Kenya has had many droughts - but not famine. The last famine in kenya happened in 19th century.

When there is drought in parts of kenya - kenya gov and international NGOS - have always quickly moved in to supply food

That has prevented the droughts from becoming a famine like happened in Ghana and Ethiopia in 1984s.

Inadequate management of a drought lead to famine.

And u are proud of this SMH!!! What a shame. What’s the difference between this and the imf bailout u scream.

It's a nightmare. It like Ethiopia talking about 1984. or Nigeria's Igbo 1970s biafra induced famine or Irish their famine or China . The most profound book I ever read is called Hunger or something - written by the Norwegian literature Nobel Laurate Knut Hamsun.

Knut Hamsun’s Hunger (1890) is arguably the most influential Norwegian novel in history – a true classic of modern literature, and a forerunner of the psychologically driven fiction of Kafka, Camus and Saramago.

Hunger is the story of a Norwegian artist who wanders the streets of Christiania (now Oslo), struggling on the brink of starvation while trying to sell his articles to the local newspaper. As hunger overtakes his body and mind, the writer slides inexorably into paranoia and despair. The descent into madness is recounted by the unnamed narrator in increasingly urgent and disjointed prose as he loses his grip on his body and on reality itself.

We are talking about 1980s Ghana Famine that as part of your national coping strategy you're trying to sweep under the rug. It very sad that while world was focused on Ethiopia - Ghana got forgotten - Nigeria kicked Ghanians out at worse time.

Ethiopia famine at same time was highlighted to world by Kenya photographer - Al Amin - and foreign journalist - who was so traumatized he committed suicide.

Kenya's Mo Amin had shot the famous pictures where the eagles were waiting for dying ethiopian child - and Mohammed died abroad.

The world responded with a massive effort to stop the catastrophe that had killed a million of ethiopia from hunger - with muscian and rest rallying the world. NOBODY REMEMBERED GHANA>

Mo Amin remain a kenya hero

We are talking about every year famine in Kenya and how it kill thousands yearly.....

There is nothing to sweep under the rug because Ghanaians had abundant food from various silos which were redistributed by the militry in 1983...

I can't say same for the 15 million kenyans who faces yearly serious famine which takes away lives...
The only little hope they have is from WFP....

Ghana didn't need the world because Ghana had enough money to buy food for it entire population...
The world was more focused on poor Kenyans where fundraising had to be held yearly of WFP to feed poor Kenyans dying left right center, from starvation...

This is your empty two cent talk.

The reality is as the world went to Ethiopia to rescue them; Ghana was forgotten; a famine as devasting as Ethiopia was unfolding; without any media; with the military of Jerry Rawlings hiding the deaths and sufferings; the famine gutted your country so much you do not even talk about it.

Kenya has always had the most robust free media - and any suffering is highlighted - quickly for intervention. Look at Nigeria now - thousand die from terrorism - and hunger -nobody even knows

There was more than enough media

No death could be hidden, even during the military era, Ghana was more democratic than Kenya is today...

People just didn't die of hunger or starvation....Ghana has never been as despotic as kenya..

Keep repeating the same nonsense.... The is no equation here for you...


Kenya is just lazy, poor, starving and despotic like North Korea

The amount of food that enters Ghana food buffer stock company ware houses and silos year is enough to feed the entire kenya for 3 good years..

Jerry Rawling kicked out the media long before it kicked out any middle class you had; and enacted a full dictatorship; The world forgot about Ghana; Nigeria to be honest; were inhuman to kick 10 percent of Ghana out of Nigeria at worst possible moment; they got straight into the gallows of bitting hunger.

That you're sucking Nigeria arse now is beyond me. FAMINE is not a word carefully thrown.

Kenya media helped Ethiopia - coz their military commnist gov like Ghana - were hidding the deaths.

Mohamed "Mo" Amin MBE (29 August 1943 – 23 November 1996) was a Kenyan photojournalist.

Amin's filming of Michael Buerk's report of the 1984 Ethiopian famine brought international attention to the crisis and eventually helped start the charity wave that resulted in Live Aid concerts.

This picture undid all the Ethiopia gov denial that a famine was unfolding; the journalist who shot it; committed suicide eventually; it was horrific. Jerry Rawling in meantime with his messed up policies pulled all the stops to deny the deaths - and Ghana were forgotten as a similar famine ravaged it.

Lunatic

Under JJ Rawlings, the media were free to practise their trade and the number of media houses increased...
The only deaths that happen during 1983n were of corrupt people, smugglers and hoarders

Kenya is just like North Korea, Ethiopia and all the other despotic dictatorial nations in Africa where the media cant freely operate...

Famine this year in Kenya is going to kill thousands again just like it did last year, and WFP, China Aid and Ghana NADMO will be holding fundraising to buy food for kenyans again...... Oh poor kenya.

Ghana has never needed the world for any solution because all the solutions are just right here with us....

I want to see kenya providing food for it 15 million starving people this year.... no need to go begging WFP and the UN again , like last year

You have roamed the entire internet to find something to support your theory of famine killing people in Ghana yet you've seen none

Ghana has always been the magnet of development, progress and Democracy on the continent..


The fact that Kenya has been a basket case since independence until 7 years ago, does not mean every country has...
WHATABOUTISM will be your undoing


Hyperinflation, low growth, corruption and tribal killing made many kenyans poor and the poverty has become entrenched..#GENERATIONAL POVERTY
