How to Grow National Economy for All

1). Kenya can grow its economy and alleviate poverty by reducing the size of Government
2). Government Overrepresentation could be scaled down by:
i). reducing the number of politicians at both national and devolved levels of Government
ii). abolishing the 47 Woman Representative seats in the National Assembly
iii). reducing the number of Members of Parliament to 240
iii). reducing devolved units of government from 47 to 12
3). These proposals are made by David G Maillu, the writer of Pathways: 50 Years of Independent Kenya,
in The Manifesto of Social Revolution
4). Maillu holds a Doctor of Letters (DLitt) degree in African Literature and Political Philosophy awarded by St Clements University of Australia.
