I wonder what our 'water officials' are doing with all the rain water that God in His infinite Mercy has been sending to Mombasa/Coast province of late? Have they put in the infrastructure to capture this precious commodity and supply it to this very thirsty province? Or are they, as they are wont to do, sitting on their lazy backsides, letting this manna from heaven go to waste?
While they are slowly wasting the public's money by laying a pipeline from Mzima to Mombasa instead of redirecting this to other drier places with little option, like Ukambani, etc., and using the precious money they have been allocated for Coast Province, to build a desalination plant.
What is the matter with our planners? Why don't they take into consideration the fact that these 'natural' water systems are soon going to dry up due to our forest cover which is the water cachement area, is disappearing and add to that, the very noticeable global warming which is also making the snow, another water reservoir, disappear from our mountains. All of this can be observed very easily by everybody even remotely interested in our water future.
Yet, and despite an overloaded cabinet which is 'eating' into our precious funds, etc., these 'officialdom' cannot see and do something about our fast approaching waterless future! It seems to be a case of 'too many cooks spoil the broth'.
And time continues to pass with no water in our taps......
Most of the postings are to do with what an average Kenyan citizen has to deal with, in the country, to survive. They go through and are treated with a lot of injustice, where very few in 'officialdom', will take notice of their problems or even do anything about them. Hence, this blog and the belief in, 'One learned man is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshipers' - Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
