Thailand Rapid Economic Growth,Points to Note



 Looking at the infrastructures and improved communication system in one of my recent company trip to the far south Asia in Thailand, Kenya has a long way to go to attain its envisaged goals as entitled in the vision 2030 plans.

The state of roads and the rail system is far much outstretched with modern rail system and effective police service.

 In a nut shell everything modern even though the nation capital, Bangkok is still struggling with floods and lately political unrest. The City remains adorable.

Tourism sector, one of the highly valued foreign exchange earners second to rice farming is highly valued both within the capital city and all other surrounding centers and towns.

For security reasons, all taxis in the city have been marked and painted either green or red with the drivers’ particulars and photo coupled with the car registration details displayed inside the car.

In Chiang Mai the far North of the country that is renowned for elephants venture and some tamed wild animals like Tiger is a real tourism boom with hundreds flinging in daily. The same has enhanced a quick growth in the hotel industry.

In Chiang mai you will notice the long neck Thais with embedded necklaces. My trip guide said that the necklaces are used to ensure that they attain stability while walking. Yes, wonders will never cease. This Thai sub-tribe can be compared to the local Maasai’s  except for the long neck.

The warmth amongst the Thais both men and women is a force to reckon on the country’s growth since hospitality is far much outstretched and no one can ever be bored with the citizens.

I talked to one of the taxi drivers, Mr. Chainarinth Nanakonphonas who declared that they have been in the business for three years and has managed to acquire at least two cars to supplement his business going by the rapid number of clients at his disposal.

The systems of governance, language and religion have tremendously ensured the country make the heights in growth.

Most Thais are generally Buddhists except for some Christians and other religion dotted across the capital and in the far North and South of the country.

However back in Kenya still crapped in divisive politics based on tribal lines and backgrounds it could take Kenya another one hundred years to match Thailand despite the nations' current tribulations and political hitches.

It has to be noted however the  government has already set its envisaged vision 2030 plans which has set forward among others infrastructural  growth. This can only be achieved through proper laid policies that hinge on good governance.

The national government must ensure that they wholly involve all the 47 counties in development issues as a way of developing the nation lest prepare for another scam involving the county bosses.

Former Members of Outlawed Sect,Mungiki Answer to Kenya's Unemployment Crisis

No more Hustling, Vows Former Members of Outlawed Sect By Henry Onyango The current unemployment rate in Kenya and most of the third world countries is alarming. The most affected quarter of the population is the youth, that which commands the greatest number. Several plans by the leaders to respond to the unending crisis have so far been a battle in futility as the number increases daily, monthly and annually probably due to the increased birth rate and bad governance in these lowly developed nations. Kenya’s infamous 2007-2008 post poll chaos where over one thousand people lost their lives and hundreds of thousands misplaced is a clear indicator of the phenomenon.   The idle youth were used by some politicians and the rich to loot, kill and injure those they considered their rivals for their own political good and supremacy. Any group of youth during this time that seemed united was easily brought into these rather shoddy deals that would later lead to criminal...

Why we Have to Fight Human Trafficking from Within our Borders By Henry Onyango for The Seed Magazine  Coming to the city of lights and tall buildings that is Nairobi, is often an attractive prospect for many young girls and boys who have lived most of their lives in the village. Ruth Nafula 14, not her real name, had just completed her standard eight exams in 2014 when she got her first opportunity to travel to Nairobi. Her aunt who lives in Kawangware also convinced her to stay on and secure a job as a house help, for some time before joining secondary school. Nafula was excited as she hoped she would now be able to help her mother who was ailing back at home by buying her food and medicine. This however, was not to be the case. Nafula’s aunt handed her over to the prospective employer within the sprawling slums where she worked for only a month before ‘escaping’ never to be seen again. According to the neighbours, Nafula was often mistreated...
