Fibre Optic Cable in Garissa & Racist Michael Joseph

  Another reason why any self respecting Garissian should immediately cease their association with Safaricom has emerged through recently leaked secret cables published by wikileaks. Apparently, Michael "I-know-everything-kenyans-want" Joseph has told American officials that providing high speed internet to Garissa was a waste of resources. He further added that indeed it was places like Nyeri that needed such services instead of "sparsely populated" NEP.

  I'm very glad that this raving lunatic has departed Safaricom after several years of fleecing Kenyans through over-priced and poor quality services. His borderline racist crap should be called out for what it is by our MPs and every self respecting Kenyan. After years of isolation and neglect we cannot have the guy who is running the tourism department in Kenya advocating for cutting off Garissa from the world wide web.

Quite clearly this megalomaniac has never been to Garissa and doesn't understand the leaps this city has made in the last decade. Before he spews such demonstrable lies maybe he should pay this great city a visit and see what it means the greatest self-made city in East and Central Africa.

  To you Garissians, if you are half as livid as I am, give this moron a call and tell him how pissed you are. Currently, he is the chairman of Kenya Tourism Board.

 As for Dualle and his ilk, they shoud stop pitching for Raila or Ruto and instead call for this guy to be fired. We cannot have a high ranking government official calling for the alienation of Somalis.

Why is Nyeri anymore worthy of high speed internet than Garissa, arguably the fastest growing city in the entire nation.

Garissa and the northern parts of the country are set to earn from tourism after the Kenya Tourist Board (KTB) announced a major marketing strategy to open up the region to both domestic and international visitors.
Managing director Muriithi Ndegwa in a speech read on his behalf by regional manager Fred Okeyo said that communities within the northern circuit should now identify more tourism products for competitive marketing following the creation of counties.
He said the country has diverse tourism products whose potential has not been exploited adding that the community has the responsibility to identify these unique products for marketing.
This was during a workshop at a hotel in Garissa aimed at sensitising stakeholders on potential tourism offers in the northern part of Kenya as part of this year’s tourism day celebration.
He said KTB will now focus on marketing strategies such as on-line, print, electronic media and other social interactive platforms to raise the profile of the northern circuit.
The larger district has several tourism products including wildlife, culture and scenery among other products.
Last week while opening Garissa tourism regional office, Tourism minister Najib Balala announced that Kenya Utalii College will organise tailor-made courses for local hotels in the region to equip personnel with the required skills.
