http://www.kenyaengineer.com/newsdetails.php?NewsID=265&AuthorID=45&CountryID=7&NewsTypeID=16&IssueID=34 Title: The Study for the Establishment of the Spatial Data Framework for the City of Nairobi Period: December 2002 – March 2005 Funded by: JICA The City of Nairobi has experienced a rapid increase in population with an influx of immigrants from rural areas, and the city infrastructure (water supply, sewerage, land management, waste disposal, health and sanitation, etc.) is not sufficient to meet the growing demands. However, the city's 1:2,500-scale maps, the most basic geographic information, were produced 30 years ago and do not cover the entire city. As they have not been updated or expanded, they do not represent current conditions and cannot be used to formulate urban development plans. In the study, we developed a geographic information system to manage the city's infrastructure. Specific activities included: i) aerial photography (scale: 1:5,000; color) covering an area of 702 km2, ii) ground control point survey (22 points), iii) ordinary leveling (350km), iv) aerial triangulation (249 models), v) field identification (585 km2), vi) production of 1:2,500 topographic maps (170 km2), vii) production of 1:5,000 topographic maps (415 km2), viii) consultation on GIS related tasks and design of GIS (15 km2), and ix) GIS database construction.

See attached image, now I understand why the governors do not want the presence of any representative from the National Government near them as they might have institutional memories.
The devolution of corruption begins as repeat projects are used for personal gain.

An interesting FYI in relation to the debate a few days ago on Posta Kenya.
I recall Robert Yawe saying something like this had already been executed. If so what is this all about?

And is the Governor's office involved?
