William,<br>
Today after a game of Tennis, I decided to hang out in the sauna for a<br>
while. I was delighted to see a colleague from University of Nairobi and<br>
a prominent professor of Biochemistry. There were other three club<br>
members. The professor narrated how for the first time in his life time<br>
while in Kisumu he had to settle for cat fish and ugali for his lunch on<br>
Saturday. There is no Tilapia he said. An Asian businessman originally<br>
from Kisumu who sat next to me indeed confirmed that all the fish business<br>
is the hands of Somali community which seems to have struck some gold mine<br>
in fish. He said noted “real estateb in all major towns is now in their<br>
hands too”.<br>
<br>
The talk drifted into what such enormous resource could do to the country<br>
if the resource were to be used to buy our gullible politicians. You<br>
could sense the helplessness in the small steamy cubicle. Although others<br>
felt that there was a plan being executed by one community to dominate the<br>
economy in all major towns of Kenya, I had to warn them that such talk can<br>
be dangerous and amount to discrimination against another community. I<br>
bring these discussions here because there are murmurs all over on the<br>
Somali Community spending on property without clear sources of the funds.<br>
Until we discuss this matter with open mind, it is disaster we are<br>
courting.<br>
<br>
We are indeed faced with very difficult decisions in this country. There<br>
is need to get to the bottom of this matter since we know it will be a<br>
problem in future if we do not address it now. A large number of Somali<br>
have migrated to Kenya. In other countries such an influx is monitored<br>
closely even when there is no threat to state security. I remember in<br>
1983 the Kenyan community in Minnesota numbered about fifteen. By 1987,<br>
the community had grown to about 1,000 and eating a lot of corn meal to<br>
the extent that it became a major story in US media. Local ABC news<br>
reported new immigrant community that has wiped out all the corn meal in<br>
the Twin Cities area. We have no account of the characteristics of our<br>
new immigrants.<br>
<br>
<br>
This is where ICTs begins to help us manage the development of our people.<br>
At every entry, we must take electronic finger prints of every person<br>
getting into the country. We must also get a tamper prove ID. This can<br>
be done along the lines of the Public Key Infrastructure. We must begin<br>
to release land registration records on to the open data platform. This<br>
will indeed help trace ill gotten properties that in many ways compromise<br>
the ability of local people in affording such properties.<br>
<br>
Good leadership is a product of informed citizens and embracing a<br>
participatory approach. This is how we can move forward together.<br>
<br>
Keep hope alive. One Kenya.<br>
