moreKakamega is under new leadership, but the Euphoria is soon drifting away, and the ways of the old taking over. Luckluster performance, public service mentality, and “them” versus “u” mentality, with us being broke, poor, and disenfranchised and them being favoured, rich, and growing. Under the theme of “Prosperity and Strength-Kakamega Vision 2030”, this document serves as official programmatic and propaganda document, to lead to the laying of foundation, creation of, and achievement of new Kakamega. The article is divided into three parts: The first part is imagination, seeing Kakamega as a great county, laying out what it means to be great, and bringing it to light, seeking to change mindsets and set a lofty, clear future, almost utopic idea, Kakamega, A First World County. Secondly, the document lists the actions, programs, and activities that must be put in place to realise the new Kakamega. And third, the document outlines the two fold strategy, of propaganda, and partnerships, that will be needed to move the county to its destination of the imagined feature.
