• I dream of the day when these, the African mathematicians and computer specialists in Washington and New York, the African physicists, engineers, doctors, business managers and economists, will return from London and Manchester and Paris and Brussels to add to the African pool of brain power, to enquire into and find solutions to Africa's problems and challenges, to open the African door to the world of knowledge, to elevate Africa's place within the universe of research the information of new knowledge, education and information -Thambo Mbeki, former South African President
  • They therefore concluded that “the findings of this (and other) surveys indicate that coverage of Africa, by the leading sources of American media is, at best, dismissive of the continent’s progress and potential, and thus leading to continued ‘exotification’ and marginalization of the African continent. At worst, coverage disregards recent trends toward democratization, thus betraying an almost contemptuous lack of interest in the potential and progress being achieved on the continent.”

Nakumatt Prestige and Runda, illegal developments??

Trouble looms for ‘illegal’ developments

By Harold Ayodo

First published in the Standard Online - 11t March 2009 - below are just my thoughts.

Wow..........having been to all the Nakumatts, even Prestige, I can't imagine it gone . Demolished. That's the rumor. What of the gisty stores and all? how about the homes in Runda? Loresho and all? I'm thinking, what others are built on 'the river' and which river is this by the way?

I'm still waiting to hear more, coz i can't imagine all of these places demolished...won't that cost like billions and so many jobs and what a mess to demolish all of that?

Is this Nairobi river that is supposedly under these buildings? may be we need to fix the existing river before we embark on the one under. My thoughts exactly.
