Why do we have tea packaging companies in Nairobi and Mombasa yet we grow tea in Mt Kenya and R. Valley? Why have a fish processing plant in Thika yet Fishing is done in Nyanza? Just examples!!.

It's part of a system called localization where employment opportunities are increased to ensure that lives of residents at different parts of the country. This system is a great one, I don't see why we have to complain because if we accumulate the jobs to one place we'll surely end up having some places having extremely low standards of living.
 
I don't agree with that. This is all about class theory where the farmer are required to be nothing else apart from being that (a farmer) . So a few elites go a build big houses and create themselves white color jobs. Enjoying the inputs from a poor low payed farmer out there. They try to control everything a farmer is doing so that they keep them stagnated. In my opinion, I would like the processing plants to be right there next to the raw materials. This will be of much benefit to the farmer as it will drag in other social amenities and infrastructure will be enhanced so that the output reach the market in time. Those guys sitting in those offices they call it headquarters don't know that a lorry transporting tea got stucked in muddy road yesterday , they don't send reinforcement and they wait to pack and market my produce and pay me low . One day the stones supporting the pyramid will be taken and you know what next.
