With right leaders at the top and a vigilant electorate the oil discovery should not be a curse. How I wish we Kenyans use the power of the ballot to weed out the corrupt 'nincompoops'. I am glad we have struck oil<br>

I am not excited at all. I just came back from Nigeria where you have to queue for hours in a filling station, sometimes days. Filling up your car is a source of stress and you have to really plan for it. Maybe oil will make our incessant political infighting getting bloodier. Konza City excites me more than the discovery of oil. With Konza, we have to keep thinking of how to bake the national cake. With oil, we will just be fighting over the sharing of oil wealth. We will probably become lazy, and yes, probably more corrupt.<br>

<br>Just wondering, @ Mugo Kibati, <br><br>do re-write our V2030? Particularly sections relating to BPO/ITES...it might be that our answer to being a middle-income country by 2030 is through black gold and not ICTs?<br><br>
