00:00 We have talked about many things, but I want to focus on what we have decided in the meeting today.
00:06 As we have seen, Kiambu has many attraction sites that the locals understand.
00:16 We want to make Kiambu our one day tour or one two day tour county.
00:24 When a person arrives in Nairobi, he has a layover of 10 hours.
00:30 He can come to Kiambu, see 3 or 4 places, leave his money here, and go to the other places.
00:38 For example, we have seen Paradise Lost, Gatamayo Fishing Camp, Nailo Falls, Mugumo Park,
00:48 Kireita Forest, where the locals go to fish.
00:54 So, it is a very big place, but it is important to understand.
00:58 People have not understood that Kiambu is blessed with these tourist sites.
01:02 The locals can come and see.
01:04 We have talked about, we have talked about, there are many birds, bird sanctuaries.
01:10 People know, bird watchers everywhere will look for new areas to look at birds and be able to classify them.
01:16 So, Kiambu is a place where we can put all of this together.
01:20 So, we will collaborate to ensure that there is proper marketing for people to come and see things in Kiambu.
01:26 But when they come, you know that Kiambu is a money county.
01:32 People were blessed with money because they work very hard.
01:36 And they were also blessed with good food and many things.
01:40 Kiambu people are well blessed and they are very intelligent.
01:44 But when they come here, they see that it is a money county.
01:50 It is a place where people have money.
01:52 So, we must improve our facilities, our comfort facilities.
01:56 So, when a person comes here, when he comes to Kiambu, he wants to help himself,
02:00 he wants to have a place like London, like Berlin, like Sydney, like Sao Paulo, like Brazil.
02:10 So, we have to improve those facilities.
02:14 We have to work together to have the necessary resources and facilities to provide people with that comfort level.
