@kivuva, there is prime real estate somewhere between the junction, the showground and Kenya science. Can we hive off a portion, put up a business park and use rental income to finance "part" of the operations? <div>

Our geology department is one of the most understaffed and<br>
under-funded. You can't blame them.<br>
<br>
Our special programs ministry cannot settle a handful of IDPs even<br>
after taxpayer's money was alocated in the budget, five years after<br>
PEV. Geology is nowhere near their minds.<br>
<br>
And finally ... Our top universities concentrate more on "fast moving<br>
courses as goodies" otherwise called "FMCG", thus there is little or<br>
no research on such issues.<br>
<br>
I'm just wondering where we will lay the blame if an eruption occurs,<br>
God forbid.<br>
