	OnlineInterview with PS Ndemo

Grace,
First I feel greatly honoured by your thoughts. Since I do not have money for such an undertaking, I will respond hypothetically.

I will consolidate on the gains we have made in automating public sector to create more resources to address emergencies like drought. For example, within 100 the e-procurement will be operational.  This will free 40 - 50 billion wasted annually.

While finalizing automation in Judiciary and Lands (where I will raise another 20 biilion) I will comprehensively deal with the situation in Northern Kenya (you cannot govern hungry people) by creating urban centers and support zero grazing through provision of hay from South Rift.  Spend 5 billion to construct dams a long the Ewaso Nyiro river.  Use gravity to get River Omo water via the Chalbi desert  into dams in parts of Marsabit and start irrigation prjects.  Utilize the Tana Delta to provide more food.

Spend 2 billion on diversifying our food eating habbits.  This will remove unnecessary demand for maize that makes it expensive and leads to cost push inflation.  There is no reason why potatoes should rot in Nyahururu when a few kilometers north people are hungry and waiting for Maize meal. Further will start cottage industries to deal with post production where we lose 30% of our food.  Only in Kenya where we compete with weavils in eating maize.  Much of the maize and beans should be canned as githeri to avoid wastage and create jobs.

Within year one we shall have end to end government in place and serve mwananchi day and night making a 24 hour economy a reality and create more employment.  Will outsource judicial services such as transcriptions to reduce backlog and improve not only governance but create real justice.

Of course on innauguration I will actualize open government where every Kenyan would feel part of the government.  Ensure that all information can be accessed on the mobile platform.  Give incentives to lower price of smart phones as well as cost of accessing internet.  Will encourage aggressive content development especially on e-learning.

Within 100 days will embark on a ppp to develop a 5,000 MW energy plant in order to break away from minimalist investment in the sector.  More importantly to deal with powerful indepedent power producers who have guarded their profits more than national interests.

Give incentives to build solar pannels for use in remote parts especially in schools that will all be hooked to DTH TV for learning.

Provide legistlators with research assistants and create a culture where they do not open their mouths unless they have facts on th issue.

And more ..


Ndemo.
