If we discuss industrialisation policy, we could mention such things as “the ease of doing business”, and various other issues, but in the end, it boils down to our inordinately high electricity costs, which should ideally be about one-third of what they are now.

Last week I wrote about how a leader’s key policy decisions which seem perfectly valid at the time they are made, will sometimes turn out to have laid a foundation for disasters to come.

There has been much talk of “infrastructure projects” following President William Ruto’s recent state visit to China. A good part of this, I believe, is that we tend to see infrastructure as the golden key to “development” (by which we mean, economic growth).
