      Zim is a great place to invest and live, have you looked at the requirements to do so?
      The sanctions you mentioned were placed on corrupt individuals not the country. Right now the military is in charge (behind the scenes) thats why the economy is so bad. Zim must be the only country in the world without a proper currency, freedom of speech and free and fair elections. People now are very tired of the current situation.

    When we worked in Kenya 22 years ago, we went for a weekend to Kakamega, and stayed in a camping lodge. A guide took us for a walk in the forest . It was very dense . He showed us a fig creeper , which does not grow as a tree , bur grows round another tree until the host tree rots inside ,and there is nothing left of the host tree -Just a hollow fig tree. The fogs were quite sweet. The guide explained how this forest had once stretched right across Africa to Guinea and Nigeria but now Kakamega forest is an isolated portion He also warned us that walking around without a guide is dangerous --one can easily get lost
    . I am really enjoying the items about Kenya.The country may not be completely free of corruption , but their Government is much better than the corrupt ANC Government in South Africa.I have seen a Green Mamba twice Once in Nakuru Park and once in Intrepids Lodge in the Samburu National Reserve . It got onto the raised outdoor eating area , where we were eating , slithered across towards us , and thankfully disappeared down a crack in the decking. The waiters all fled and came back once the snake had gone One of the tour guides on the bush walk had been to university in England , but had come back to samburu to work to improve his village 's life. He as made his village into a place for tourists to visit to hear about his culture. He had been able to marry his sweetheart , and had persuaded the village chief not to make her into the 4th wife of an older man. He brought a group of young warriors (youths from 14 to 25) to the Lodge and they did their jumping dance for us
    I count it a real privilege to have been able to live and work in Kenya for 2 years-- the length of contracts at the school , although some people signed on again and did 4 years.

      It's called Devolution. Every County has it's own government. The system doesn't need the president to do all the development works. The governors sort themselves out & work as presidents in the counties they got elected in.
      In Kenya the governors vote is more important than the president because they are the engines of development.

      @@peternassari7634 In Kenya it's all about equity not equality. The Counties with bigger populations & land mass get more funds. Devolution is good but it attracts serious Corruption if the people don't keep the leaders on toes. With Devolution development isn't a favour, its a Must. Every leader must explain what he does with the funds he gets, the most corrupt counties can also be short listed. The Best performing counties are usually the least corrupt. Currently In Kenya the best performing counties are Machakos, Kakamega, Kisumu & Kwale. Nairobi is the Most Corrupt, that's why the governor Sonko was kicked out and arrested.

      @@peternassari7634 Devolution can work perfectly in Tanzania because corruption there is very Low.
      Those regions can be made counties & run themselves without the national government. With Devolution every single part of the country develops because the government is closer to the people. You don't have to go and see the president because the Governors are your presidents & they are based in your counties not the capital city. Only the president sits in the capital city. If you need roads, electricity or water you just tell the governor & he delivers. If he doesn't you impeach him & elect another one.
