Kenya's recent environmental dilemmas

Environmental concerns has always been one of the top issues in Kenya especially those who are living below the poverty line. This is because they rely on the water and land reservoir of their society. In addition to that a big portion of the Kenya’s labor force are engaged in agriculture.

The most severe devastation in Kenya’s environment was a drought in 2006. It has brought more than 3 million of people with barely enough food to live. Some parts even experience scarce over water resources and starvation.

Maize shortage in Kenya

Kenya’s second key player in its economic growth is Agriculture. Though the country always experience harsh weather conditions, Kenyan agriculture is still considered a key economic player. Despite that, Kenya still faces food shortage. Maize stocks are only expected to be available over a short period of time due to a low productivity rate from the previous season. With irregular weather patterns and late distribution of subsidized fertilizers to farmers at hand, Kenya now faces Maize shortage.

Irregular rain patterns and late distribution of fertilizers to farmers have taken their toll on Kenya’s maize production.  Following a deficit of 10 million bags from last season’s output, Kenya prepares to import crops from neighboring countries to save its constituents from imminent starvation.

Traffic snarl ups

It is so sad for Nairobi to be ranked as the fourth most grueling commute of 20 cities surveyed in a new IBM international traffic study. According to the report, Nairobi and Moscow topped the list of cities that host the world’s longest traffic jams — 2.1 hours — which is 40 per cent higher than the survey’s average of 1.3 hours.

Traffic jams have become a permanent feature on Nairobi roads even as the city looks forward to the completion of major roads and bypasses to ease flow.
