The Proposed Rift Valley Development Authority - RVDA: The United Counties of Rift Valleys Economic Revolution 20132023 Volume III The Proposed Rift Valley Development Authority - RVDA: The United Counties of Rift Valleys Economic Revolution 20132023. Introduction 1.1. Background Information
Kenyan Rift Valley is an expansive region covering a total area 2 of 171,114 km [29.95% of Kenyan land mass it is bigger than 2 the whole of Israel which is only 20,770 km (approximately the same size with the combination of Baringo, Nakuru, Kericho & Bomet Counties only, but of course, a developed nation), also 2 bigger than the whole of South Korea which is only 98,480 km (but very wealthy than the whole of Kenya), also bigger than 2 the whole of Singapore which is only 693 km (smaller than Bomet County and without any mineral resources, but similarly very wealthy than the whole of Kenya). Rift Valley is compost of 14 counties and has close proximity to both Indian Ocean and landlocked East African countries, and its Nakuru County being strategically situated at national population-wise and transport infrastructural network central point. It is one of the regions with high demographic trends catalyzed by high fertility rates and population size. According to 2009 population and housing census, the region is compost of over 10 million people. Geographically, the region is compost (contains) of 45% of the national arable land, and has all the climatic/agro-ecological zones i.e. arid, semi-arid, grassland/tropical-savanna and woodland/rainforest/high altitude zones. It has enormous rechargeable underground water reserves i.e. aquifers that are enough to irrigate the whole of Rift Valley land mass including the whole of arid Turkana county, the aquifers are namely: (1) Mt. Kilimanjaro aquifer, (2) Rift aquifers (these includes: L. Naivasha basin basal aquifer linked to L. Magadi and L. Bogorisa
Rift Valley Development Authority - RVDA Say No to Poverty; Say No to Unemployment Putting the Last First; Peoples Interests First RVDA Our Hope; Our Future; Our Everything RVDA Our Unity; Our Rift-Valley Uniting Factor
via Menengai, L. Baringo aquifer linked to Logipi springs, Mau Complex aquifer extending to Uasin Gishu County and L. Victoria), and (3) Mt. Elgon aquifer that extend to cover 2/3 of Turkana county, and (4) finally proximity to Merti aquifer which can be used to irrigate Samburu county in cooperation with Isiolo County residents. It has substantial mineral deposits which include: carbon dioxide, corundum (ruby), diatomite, fluorspar, garnets, gold, gypsum, limestone, soda/soda ash/salt and over 9.5 billion barrels (worth over Kshs 48 trillion) of potential underground oil reserves (more than oil reserves in both South Sudan and Sudan which is totaling 6 billion barrels). Tourist attraction sites, vast & diverse social-cultural heritage & sports talents, water towers and water bodies are also plenty. Due to its unique geography, the region is suitable for almost all socio-economic and advanced industrial activities. In terms of infrastructure, it has relatively good railway network, road network traversed by Northern Corridor, and regional airstrips and an international airport & close proximity to other international airports namely: Kisumu International Airport and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. It is a fact, it is endowed with enormous natural and artificial resources that require harnessing for sustainable socio-economic development; creating employment opportunities, generating income, reducing poverty and improving livelihoods and fostering selfreliance of United Counties of Rift Valley (UCRV), Kenya and beyond. Kenya has enacted a new constitutional and legislations that provides an enabling environment for community resource mobilization and development. Therefore, there is need for the professionals, political leadership and everybody else to teamup and mobilize their communities towards sustainable community development. It is upon the strategists/innovators/designers and the influential persons to take-up the challenge of redirecting energies and resources towards realization of social goods. Thus, Rift Valley Professional Forum & Rift Valley Youth Forum have developed the concept note here-is to act as the starting point in socioeconomic advancement, and strengthening of social-cohesion

and promotion of social justice and human rights in the United Counties of Rift Valley. Kenyan economic growth is largely driven by thriving micro enterprises and small and medium enterprises (SME), however, farm produce prices at the production point remains relatively much low as compared with the high cost of farm production and consumer goods/foods and services. Why low farm produce price at production point and high cost of farm production and consumer goods/foods/services? The reason is micro enterprises and SME!!! The more the chain (or linked SMEs) of small enterprises operating in between the farmer and eventual consumer, the lower the price the first buyer buys from the farmer and the higher the price of the farm produce at the tail end of the chain which is the eventual consumer, and in the same manner in the opposite direction for farm inputs (as the farmers are the consumers of farm inputs). Every SME along the marketing/supply chain needs to make huge/substantial profits at the expense of the eventual consumer and original producer (farmer/manufacturer/mining investor/entertainer/athlete). As is SME the cause of high prizes for consumer goods, small scale farming is the culprit behind high cost of food due to its uneconomical farming methods and lack of economies of scale i.e. high cost of food production. Therefore, to improve the living standard of everyone in a sustainable manner, and penetrate export market, there is need to adopt the principle of contractfarming, economies of scale and economic integration leading to reduction in the chains of enterprises operating between the producer and consumer. This can be attained by merging the SMEs into a much bigger entity that can connect directly the producer and consumer. In fact, that was the socioeconomic principle behind the establishment of millennium village projects in different poverty stricken regions of SubRift Valley Development Authority - RVDA Say No to Poverty; Say No to Unemployment Putting the Last First; Peoples Interests First RVDA Our Hope; Our Future; Our Everything RVDA Our Unity; Our Rift-Valley Uniting Factor
Saharan Africa, which has brought a great success, and here-is proposed to be up-scaled from village to regional levels. Bearing in mind the above arguments, RVDA endeavors to incorporate specific locations concentrated large - mass production/service companies that will directly connect the producer and consumer through contract farming, economic integration and industrial concentration coupled with operations subsidy and benefit of economics of scale. With the service of international experts serving RVDA through its thinktank arm; RVIRI/RVBRI, and technology transfer offered by the strategic investors (and her associated expatriates) holding 35%-19% shareholding in companies under RVDA, cutting edge technology, management and governance will be employed throughout the companies under RVDA translating to reduced cost of production of quality produce/goods and services of international standards, and hence lower selling prices. It is envisioned RVDA will positively turn-around ways of doing business and promoting social justice and human rights. A mutually inclusive and participatory development scheme is the viable strategy for resolution of socio-economic, integration and social-cohesion problems affecting United Counties of Rift Valley and beyond. The newly enacted Kenyan constitution provides enabling legislations and environment for various county governments sharing a common interest and vision to form joint authorities. One of the most notable provisions is that that allows different county governments to co-operate in the performance of their constitutional functions and in exercising powers through formation of joint committees and authorities [i.e. article 189(2)]. It is with that understanding that herein is proposed formation of a joint authority by United Counties of Rift Valleys county governments, to be named Rift Valley Development Authority (RVDA), and a joint committee to be named Rift Valley Development Authority RVDA Executive Committee.
With fiscal budget constraints, it is highly unlikely for any single or the jointly cooperating county governments to mobilize enough capital to invest in capital intensive developmental projects, thus, it is proposed formation of a public-private partnership between the co-operating county governments and their respective private investor residents and strategic investors. This will ensure attainment of enough capital for investment in capital intensive developmental projects; it is herein projected mobilization of Kenya shillings 1-2 (2-5) (5-10) trillion investment capital within a ten year initial investment period. Considering the rapid increase in population in Rift Valley and constraints in provisions of infrastructures and other goods/services, there is need to mitigate uncontrolled subdivision of agricultural land, thus, it is proposed formation of industrial cities, county resource centers, constituency resource centers and ward resource centers to act as cluster settlement sites and to facilitate provision of basic infrastructure, amenities/goods/services, in addition to formation of rural development companies to spearhead job and wealth creation in rural areas. The investment site will host a number of capital intensive developmental ventures like training institutions, farm produce processing plants, consumer goods manufacturing and supply chains, amongst other developmental investments. These developments will provide profitable ready market for farm produce, employment and investment opportunities, affordable consumer goods and services, and enhance promotion of social justice and human rights as indicated in the chapter on bill of rights-through the subsidized consumer goods/services, income and humanitarian activities offered by RVDA owned not-for profit organization i.e. RVCSR- F. Given that the RVDA will have a clear chain of expatriates and local expertise in each economic and social sector, down from specialized RVDA entities to company groups and implementing subsidiary companies. The authority will make use of a single command of expatriates/local experts to assist all the member county government in implementing their functions that include the following as indicated in the Kenyan constitution fourth schedule part 2: agriculture (crop & animal husbandry; plant & animal disease control & fisheries), county health
services (county health facilities & pharmacies; ambulance services; public health; veterinary services; refuse removal; refuse dumps & solid waste disposal), environmental conservation, cultural activities/public entertainment (libraries; video shows; sports; recreational & cultural activities organizations and respective facilities development), provide subsidized county road construction service, trade development (construction of markets; promotion of local tourism and cooperatives societies), county planning and development (provision of land use plans and implementation protocols; housing provision; electricity generation & subsidized supply), provision of village polytechnics/home-craft centres/childcare facilities, implementation of policies on natural resource exploitation and environmental conservation (soil & water conservation), county public works and services (storm water management systems in built-up areas; and water & sanitation services); fire fighting services and disaster management and control of drug abuse & pornography serviced by RVDAs RVCSR- F. As indicated by the extent of county government functions implemented by the RVDA, the annual budgetary recurrent expenditure of member county governments will be greatly reduced as the much work remaining is mainly supervisory, policy/legislative and enforcement responsibilities, leading to increased county government developmental expenditures. Thus, it is justifiable for the member county governments to subsidize the operations of the public-private partnership joint ventures supervised and coordinated by RVDA to the extent of 30%, so that the goods/products and services of international standards offered by RVDA are affordable to the common citizens (wananchi) and for penetration of export market. In the side of marketing of investments products and services, to ensure ready market and attainment of sizeable market niche locally and penetration of export market, the principle of contract farming, economies of scale, economic integration and industrial concentrations will be promoted in/among the RVDA companies to lower cost of production, at the same time, it is proposed each of the member county governments to remit at least 30% of its yearly allocations by the national government and their residents investors and
strategic investors to invest 233.33% of their respective county governments contributions i.e. top-up the 30% to 100%. These allocations by member County governments will act as subsidy to the investment by the residents & strategic investors and for that reason, will attract not profit. In addition, a common naming/branding system and advertisement slogan will be adopted by all RVDA companies. Therefore, all the goods and services from the RVDA will attract only 70% profit margin comparative to goods and services offered by unsubsidized private ventures (the private sector). It is envisioned that support will be attained from the Rift Valley leadership, community members and Kenyans in general. 1.2. The Problem

4.0. RESOURCE MOBILIZATION STRATEGY 4.1. Resource Mobilization Strategy Instruments 1. The initial resources mobilization target is KSH 12 (2-5) (510) trillion within a 10 year initial investment/development st period (by 1 July, 2023) based on the shareholding formulae: 30% public (member county governments via RVDF): 70 % private investment (35% United Counties of Rift Valley residents investment and 35% strategic investor(s) shareholdings for the initial 10 years, however after 10 years after commissioning of a specific company residents will acquire and hold 51% while the strategic investor will offload her shares to remain with only 19%); 2. Residents of each member County will be allocated investment opportunities in RVDAs P-P-P companies according to a quota system based on their county governments contribution/shareholding in Rift Valley Development Fund (RVDF), each Countys investment quota will be equally shared out to each of the Countys Wards for the residents of each Ward to invest according to their quota; 3. Strategic investors will be selected via RVDA-to-foreign government negotiation approach based on expression of interests, strategic investor state corporations/companys/firms technological advancement, and willingness to transfer their technology, to spearhead capacity development of local human resource in addition to provision of managerial support, and willingness of the strategic investors host (foreign governments) state bank or development agency to advance the specific RVDAs P-P-P and/or member county governments with long-term concessional loans to be contributed to RVDF, and in a manner that promotes international diplomacy. The strategic investor should be willing to guarantee the specific RVDAs P-P-P companys 75% (of initial capital) long term development debt i.e. initial capital will be mobilized via adoption of equity to debt ratio of 25%:75%; in this case the strategic investor will manage the RVDAs P-P-P company until all the debt is fully serviced using the companys income i.e. the proposed RVDAs P-P-P Companies to produce products or offer services usually
produced/offered by the strategic investor state corporation/company/firm; 4. The national government will be requested through bill to be introduced in parliament to set 12020% of GDP as the upper ceiling for public debt; 5. Each member county government to contribute to RVDF at least 30% of her annual national revenue allocated fund, furthermore, each member county government to source for long term concessional loan to be serviced for 30 plus years to enable her to contribute KSH 30 90 billion to the fund immediately upon establishment of RVDA, after all the sourced funds are appropriately used for acquisition of specialized city, modern town & resource centers investment lands and the subsequent city/town/center planning, servicing and leasing to RVDA entities & P-P-P companies after which part of the accruing profits will be shared out to the member County governments for strictly development of priority rural roads, the roads will be developed using semitarmac/Murom/cemented affordable newly innovated technology to allow extensive rural road network development; 6. Shareholding by the county governments are non-profit oriented, rather they are to subsidize for the operational costs for the investments by their residents and the strategic investors and as incentive to attract resident & strategic investors investments in specific economic areas, hence leading to cheaper goods/products and services; 7. A resident can buy shares in RVDB, RVIB, Rift Valley Electric Power Group subsidiary companies, shares in any city/town/abroad based RVDAs P-P-P company group or subsidiary, and companies and/or subsidiaries based in ones County only i.e. a resident cannot buy shares in a company or subsidiary company based in another county and not within the proposed city/town boundaries. Furthermore, one cannot buy cumulative shares worth more than 0.001% of the total worth of all RVDAs P-P-P companies or shares in a given company/subsidiary worth more than 10% of the total worth of that RVDAs P-P-P main company or subsidiary i.e. one can buy any worth of shares in RVDB or RVIB. In calculating ones cumulative shareholding, shares held in RVDB or/and RVIB shall
21
not be considered. Abroad in this context shall mean outside RVDA member Counties. This will ensure equity in wealth ownership & hence discourage few people from a given County from impoverishing all the other people in all the other Counties by depriving them of their investment opportunities. 8. Special regard shall be accorded to heroes and heroines who have endured undue persecution as a result of their outstanding service to the community. In that respect, 51% shareholding in Koitalel arap Somoei Sporting & Cultural Resort Ltd sponsored by RVCSR- F Fund (Talents Sponsorship Fund) shall be equitably shared out to members of the Talai clan as reparation for their forefathers persecution during resistance to colonial rule on Nandi land. 9. In particular, RVDB will source for long term loans from lending institutions to enable her to adequately serve its mandate to allocate loans to all RVDA member county government residents investing in RVIB managed companies. In a manner that when one buys 1 share in cash in RVIB managed company, one is given loan worth 9 shares, up to a maximum of shares worth 7.56 millions. The loan is to be serviced for 10 years with grace period of 3 years literally the loan is to be automatically serviced by residents dividends obtained out of the shareholding, the bank will keep shares certificate as guarantee to the loan until fully serviced. 10. Any member county individual investor(s) will be allowed to transfer ownership of any investment asset for example land, infrastructure, company (e.g. university campus, media house, private high school, buildings, insurance company, oil retailing company, hotels, shopping mall, construction company, mining company among many others) to RVDA P-P-P company(ies) in exchange of shares in the investment project/company after value addition and expansion; 11. Any company branch established outside United Counties of Rift Valley (UCRV) is to be incorporated as a subsidiary of the main/subsidiary company to which it is a branch. shares in such a subsidiary will be traded independently by Rift Valley Stock Exchange (RVSE), the residents of the host County for Kenya (except Nairobi & Mombasa County/City) or state/country for other states/countries will hold up to 30% shareholding in such
a subsidiary while UCRV residents and Strategic investor will hold 30% each, RVDA (in behalf of member County governments) will hold only 10% which will be subsidy shareholding. 4.2. Mutual Fund Mobilization Scheme 1. Each member county government is to remit at least 30% of its annual national revenue allocated funds. 2. The bank will invite residents of member county government (and strategic investors) to submit investment capital equivalent to 233.33% of their county government allocations (to top-up their County governments contributions from 30% to 100% by investing 70%). 3. Mutual fund resource mobilization projection for the initial 10 year investment period is: a. as statistical projections indicates that Kenya will collect (sharable revenue) approx. KSH 900 billion revenue in the fiscal year 2013/2014, the 14 County governments in United Counties of Rift Valley (UCRV) will be allocated cumulatively approximately KSH 82.427 billion [this is based on the formula the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) has submitted to parliament which indicates how sharable revenue allocated to County level of governments is to be allocated among the 47 County governments and were by 33% of the total sharable revenue is allocated to County level of government i.e. using the formulae United Counties of Rift Valley County governments allocations in the financial year 2013/2014 will be as follows - Turkana KSH 12.068 Bn, Nakuru KSH 9.346 Bn, Narok KSH 6.089 Bn, Uasin-Gishu KSH 5.977 Bn, Trans-Nzoia KSH 5.872 Bn, Nandi KSH 5.476 Bn, Bomet KSH 5.420 Bn, Kericho KSH 5.187 Bn, Baringo KSH 5.113 Bn, Kajiado KSH 5.081 Bn, West Pokot KSH 4.968 Bn, Samburu KSH 4.091 Bn, Laikipia KSH 3.973 Bn, Elgeyo-Marakwet KSH 3.767 Bn] for that financial year and more than that for subsequent years (refer to Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA);
22
b. According to the report developed by Parliamentary Budget Office, County governments in United Counties of Rift Valley cumulatively requires KSh 33.920 Billion per year for them to function adequately [i.e. Turkana KSH 2.019 Bn, Nakuru KSH 5.723 Bn, Narok KSH 1.964 Bn, Uasin-Gishu KSH 2.634 Bn, Trans-Nzoia KSH 1.948 Bn, Nandi KSH 2.097 Bn, Bomet KSH 1.971 Bn, Kericho KSH 2.772 Bn, Baringo KSH 2.656 Bn, Kajiado KSH 2.150 Bn, West Pokot KSH 2.540 Bn, Samburu KSH 1.332 Bn, Laikipia KSH 2.003 Bn and Elgeyo-Marakwet KSH 3.111 Bn] (Refer: Daily Nation, Monday October 8, 2012, page 4). Given that it is projected that the 14 County governments in United Counties of Rift Valley (UCRV) will be allocated cumulatively approximately KSH 82.427 billion in the fiscal year 2013/2014 and that they cumulatively requires KSh 33.920 Billion per year for them to function adequately, then it is fiscally logical to propose for 30% of annual budget allocation to RVDA (RVDF) for long term loans servicing: 30% of annual budget allocation to County road infrastructural development: 30% of annual budget allocation to County recurrent budget expenditure: 10% of annual budget allocation to County government contingency budget expenditure. c. Therefore, if each UCRV County government subsequently contribute to RVDF (RVDA) 30% of its annual allocation, in the financial year 2013/2014 RVDF (RVDA) will get approximately a total of KSH 24.728 billion from all the UCRV County governments, if each county government secure loan guaranteed by the national government and serviced by the annual allocations to RVDF (RVDA), then in total, all the UCRV counties will get a total of KSH 741.844 billion loan to be serviced by each County government for 30-36 years, therefore, RVDF (RVDA) will be in a position to receive approx. a total of KSH 741.844 billion from 14 county governments within the year 2013;
d. each of the 30% allocations from county government will be topped up to 100% by the 233.33% (of the county remitted money) investments by the county residents and strategic investors, therefore, county residents and strategic investors will invest 233.33% of KSH 741.844 billion which is equal to KSH 1.73097 trillion: If residents and strategic investors will respond swiftly to the call for investment capital, the 10 year fund mobilization target will be attained within 1 year i.e. 2013/2014 fiscal year; e. thus, the total contributions by county government to RVDF (and further to specific companies via RVDF) and county residents investment & strategic investors investment in specific companies under RVDA will be approximately KSH 741.844 billion + KSH 173.097 billion = KSH 2,472.816 billion = KSH 2.472 61.6 trillion; f. Given that RVDA will adopt 25%:75% equity to debt ratio of investment capital mobilization, the total projected mobilized initial investment capital will be 100%/25% x KSH 2.472 616 trillion = KSH 9.890 464 trillion. 4. But, the national revenue keeps on increasing and the revenue allocation to County level of governments may be reviewed up-wards to 50% of sharable revenue, in addition to sharp value appreciation (over 1000%) of RVDA ownedacquired investment lands (acquired using RVDF and fully owned by RVDA in behalf of member County governments, as public lands international-standard spatially planned & serviced, and to be leased at market value for 99 years to appropriately allocated RVDAs entities & P-P-P companies), for those reasons, the County governments will keep on having more allocations than the amount used in the above calculations, thus, RVDA (RVDF) can mobilize KSH 10 - 40 trillion within the initial 10 year investment/development period. 5. Let as consider the projected investment capital increase as a result of acquired investment lands sharp appreciation in value. RVILB in behalf of RVDA will acquire approximately 300,000 hectares for investment in commercial companies
23
based in the proposed specialized cities (Nakuru Commercial City -150,000 hectares, Chepkoilel Industrial City 75,000 hectares & Kajiado Resort City 75,000 hectares). The purchase prices will be in average KSH 2 million per hectare, city spatial planning & servicing (roads constructions only excluding the twelve-lane superhighways that traverse the cities which is to by constructed by national government, other services infrastructures are to be developed by specialized P-P-P companies) will take approximately KSH 4 million per hectare, while 99 years lease will be in average KSH 40 million per hectare. Meaning RVDA will make a profit of: [(300,000 hectares x KSH 40 million/hectare)-(300,000 hectares x KSH 6 million/hectare)] = KSH 10.2 trillion i.e. the RVDF will be worth KSH 10.2 trillion and thus in inclusion of private investment funds will be = KSH 10.2 trillion x 100/30 = KSH 40.8 trillion. 4.3. RVDA Strategic Investors/Firms/Companies Investment in
1. Nineteen percent of RVBD, RVIB and in all RVIB managed companies/institutions shareholding will be reserved for strategic investment by international or foreign firms/companies/institutions to enable the companies to benefit from technology expertise/inventions patent rights transfer, managerial skills, international marketing skills, international connections and co-operations. Rift Valley Investment Policy Institute/Rift Valley Biomedical Research Institute will assist in vetting for qualified international/foreign firms to benefit from the shareholding; in addition it will regularly submit international/foreign investment status reports and recommendations to RVDA management committee and member county assembly. 2. The international/foreign firms/companies will be selected based on their expression of interests, technological advancement, and willingness to transfer their technology, to spearhead capacity development of local human resource in addition to provision of managerial support, and willingness of the host foreign state bank or development agency to advance the specific RVDAs entity or/and RVIB managed company of
interest and/or member county governments with long-term concessional loans to be contributed to RVDF, and in a manner that promotes international diplomacy. 3. Given that subsidiaries will be operating and traded in RVSE independently, different strategic investors can invest in different subsidiaries of a common company group. This is to enable production of variety of products and services e.g. pharmaceutical products and consumer goods. 4. Mechanism will be put in place to enable RVIB managed companies to manufacture products/offer services patented by other companies, for example through having the patent rights owner as co-investor, payment of patent fees or purchase of patent rights, or otherwise production of patented products immediately upon expiry of the patent rights period. 5. Any multinational/foreign/national company expressing interest to set-up its subsidiary company operating industrial plant(s) or service industries within the proposed RVDA urban centres or investment land, may be allowed in condition that it accepts to have the subsidiary company managed by RVIB and for UCRV government & residents together or residents owning at least 15% shareholding in the subsidiary. 6. In a company or subsidiary company with foreign shareholding exceeding 19%, the shareholding due to RVDA (RVDF) in behalf of member County governments shall be the first to be waived leading to reduced or no subsidization.
4.4. The Capability of Residents to Acquire their Designated Shareholding in P-P-P Companies As indicated above and in the initial capital allocation to RVDA P-P-P companies i.e. Handout III, residents will be required to acquire: 1. To acquire in cash shareholding in RVDB & RVIB worth above KSH 270 billion (35/100 X (KSH 775 11) billion), this investment required in cash will be easily & comfortably serviced by the residents in upper economic class e.g. form powerful politicians and their business associates, current powerful politicians and their business associates, successful
24
business persons & athletes, and those residents who will have sold large acreage of land to RVILB (RVILB will use over KSH 800 billion to acquire land). Most of the shareholdings actually will be acquired by sells of assets i.e. private properties e.g. land, companies, private university campuses, private high schools e.t.c to RVDAs P-P-P companies. Investors in this category will be requested to invest as much as they can in cash; 2. To acquire in 10% cash & 90% 10 year long term debt sourced from RVDB, in all the other RVDAs P-P-P companies worth over KSH 600 billion [KSH 2472 billion KSH 775 billion) x 35/100], the 10 % acquisition in cash will be about KSH 60 billion [KSH 600 X 10/100]. The KSH 60 billion will be acquired as projected below: a. First of all, we have to remember that RVDB is designed to offer each UCRV member County resident investing in RVDAs P-P-P company (except in RVDB & RVIB) with 9 shares as 10 year loan for 1 share acquired in cash, and that RVIB is designed to via her merchant banking division to acquire the 10% of residents designated shares in each P-P-P company (except in RVDB & RVIB) bending redemption by residents. This means virtually all the shares designated for UCRV residents will be initially acquired immediately during their incorporation day by RVDB & RVDB, before up-loading all the shares to the designated residents when the residents will feel ready to invest. Thus upon successful capitalization of RVDB & RVIB then resource mobilization for all RVDAs entities & P-P-P is done bending shares equitable redistribution to everyone. b. By the over 75,000 residents employed by TSC (Teachers Service Commission), disciplined forces (Kenya Defense Forces KDF, National Police Service - NPS & National Youth Service NYS), Public Universities & Research and by those residents employed abroad the Diaspora, each of whom earn in average KSH 25,000/month. It is expected, with proper timely civil education, each one of them will source an average of KSH 300,000 loan from ones SACCO or current bank serviceable with KSH 12,500/month for 3 years half of the salary. This mean a total of KSH 22.5 billion will be immediately mobilized for investment;
c. During the building & construction of infrastructures in the proposed RVDAs specialized cities, modern towns, resource centres, and proposed entities & P-P-P companies that will take over 3 years, over 2 million employment opportunities paying in average KSH 10,000/month will be created from scratch. In prompt filling in of the vacancies, Rift Valley youth supporting the Velvet Revolution will be recruited equitably at all Ward HQ in Rift Valley in attendance of the Ward Velvet Revolution Leaders (local Member of County Assembly), after recruitment they will be transported in mass commuter buses to the construction sites. It is expected, with proper timely civil education, each one of the construction workers will source an average of KSH 150,000 loan from current banks serviceable with KSH 5000/month for 3 years 1/3 of ones monthly wages. This mean a total of KSH 300 billion will be immediately mobilized for investment; d. Given that millions of youth will be working at the construction sites spread all over Rift Valley, a lot of food staff will be required to be mobilized to the construction sites. Thus, Rift Valley farmers will get very profitable market for their crops based and livestock based farm produce/products. It is expected, with proper timely civil education, each of the over 1 million farmers will mobilize profit of an average of KSH 100,000 within the 3 year construction period. This mean a total of KSH 100 billion will be mobilized within the period of 3 years for the purpose of investment in RVDAs P-P-P companies by the farmers. 3. To ensure the illiterate & semi-illiterate construction workers are ready to take-up lucrative skilled labor employment opportunities once construction is complete and RVDAs entities & P-P-P companies are commissioned, the proposed Rift Valley University and her subsidiary post-secondary institutions will be immediately incorporated and commissioned. Rift Valley University (RVU), Rift Valley Institute of Technology (RVIT) and Valley Youth Polytechnic (VYP) will establish make-shift lecture halls, training laboratories and other teaching facilities within the make-shift residential sites of the construction workers. The teaching institutions will provide requisite training to the workers who will be working & learning
25
in 2 shifts per day i.e. shift 1 will work from 6 am 1 pm and learn from 3 pm 6 pm, shift 2 will work from 1 pm 8 pm after learning in the morning from 8 am 11 am. Workers with different literacy levels will be prepared to do the following examinations: KCPE, KCSE, Trade Tests, KATC, CPA, ACCA, Marketing Professional Exams, Procurement Professional Exams among other Professional exams, Diploma level skills, University Degree level skills e.t.c. All the training fees will be serviced in full by interest free academic loans to be offered by the proposed Valley Academic Loans Bank (a fully public bank managed by RVDB in behalf of the RVDA Executive Committee). 4.5. Oil Reserves Revenue Investment for Posterity
1. Whether commercial quantities of oil reserves are available or not in the North Rift Counties (Turkana, West-Pokot, Elkeyo/Marakwet and Baringo Counties) we have to plan for any possible eventuality. 2. If incase commercial quantities of oil reserves will be available in the RVDA member Counties, the following investment strategy will be implemented to sustainable liberate the people from the vicious circle of poverty and for posterity reasons i.e. a. The revenue that will accrue to the local host community will be used to provide all the essential social and cultural infrastructural amenities, while the excess will be used to provide the community with economic rights i.e. investments, employment, savings among others; b. While 50% of the revenue that will accrue to the host County will be used for investment in RVDAs P-P-P companies for sustainable liberation of the people from poverty, in a manner that the revenue will be used in the same way as the 30% annual revenue contributed to RVDF. The long term loans sourced and serviced by this revenue will be allocated to each and every resident of the County after allocating 30% of the loans to RVDF (to serve as the subsidy to the fund to be invested by the residents share of the income) for the resident to invest in RVDAs P-P-P companies i.e. each of the residents will be awarded equal number of shares in a specific P-P-P
company to which the County government will have acquired using the income designated to the residents. c. For example, if the oil reserves in Turkana County is found to be commercially viable and the average annual government revenue that accrue from the sale is KSH 600 billion, then Turkana County as the host County will be annually entitled to 20/100 X KSH 600 billion = KSH 120 billion. Then the County government will use of this for its own appropriate uses, while of this i.e. KSH 60 billion will be used to service special long term loans sourced by the County government, let say KSH 60 billion x 30 years = KSH 1.8 trillion. 70 % of the loan proceeds are to be shared out equally to all the residents of Turkana County in the form of shares in RVDAs P-P-P companies to which the loans had been invested in, while the remaining 30% of the shares are to be held up by RVDA (in behalf of Turkana County) as the subsidy shareholdings. The shares allotted to the residents shall be put under restrictions such that the allotted residents cannot transfer to another person unless via inheritance, this is to secure their long term trans-generations social security. The residents are to use their dividends and monthly employment remunerations to service their day-to-day expenses.
26
5.0. Mutual Fund Investment in RVDAs Public Private Partnership Companies Mobilized mutual funds will be invested in 2 categories of investments; rural development companies; and specialized company groups & subsidiary companies based in county resources centres, constituency resources centres, and ward
resources centres, and in modern towns, specialized cities and Valmart Centres based in urban centres outside United Counties of Rift Valley.

5.1. Rural Development Companies 1. Rural areas based companies will be incorporated to specialize in utilization of rural areas natural & human resources to spearhead generation of wealth in the localities, to create employment & investment opportunities, for production of raw materials needed by industries based in the proposed cities and towns and to service County government constitutional functions through business process outsourcing and application service outsourcing. 2. It will employ more less the same methods as Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), Sugar Companies (e.g. Mumias Sugar), Kenya Seed Company, Lake Basin Development Authority, Kerio Valley Development Authority, Ewaso Ngiro South River Basin Development Authority, Horticultural Crops Development Authority, and such like parastatals. However, the companies herein will be profit-oriented and will work in close association with local land owners & residents, the land use planning R&D institute - RVIRI, RVDB, agro-processing factories and other market segments through contract farm management, contract-farming and economic integration contract-agreements & policies. 3. Host County government will facilitate rural development companies through among others provision and maintenance of quality road infrastructure in rural areas. 4. The categories of areas of specialization of the companies will include the followinga. Agricultural Development Companies; b. Livestock Development Companies; c. Rural Development Agro-Processing Companies; d. Rural Development Natural Resource Utilizing Companies. 5. Refer handout III for details on the rural development companies and their initial capital allocations. 5.1.1. Agricultural Development Companies 1. To employ agro-technologies in Rift Valley high altitude zones to produce food and cash crops that include: Fruits, Cut flowers, vegetables, sugarcanes, tea bushes, coffee, pyrethrum, onions, spices, potatoes, sweet corns & other fresh produce
corns, nuts e.g. macadamia, green beans, snow peas, mush rooms, stevia crop, herbs, and other horticultural crops. 2. To employ irrigation agro-technologies in Rift Valley low altitude zones to produce food and cash crops that include: Cereals like maize, wheat, barley, sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet and other crops like cassava, sweet potatoes, fruits adapted to low altitude zones, onions, sugarcanes, coffee, sisal, cotton, oilseed, nuts e.g. ground nuts, bixa annatto, tobacco, herbs and other crops adapted to low altitude zones. 3. It will establish silos, warehouses and cold rooms for storage of farm produce during harvest time for sell during periods of high demand 4. To employ animal production technologies in Rift Valley high altitude zone to produce milk products and other animal products via keeping of animals that include: Dairy cows, dairy goats, merino sheep, pigs, silkworm and other animals adapted to high altitude zones. 5. This will supply host County farmers with dairy cows, feeds and other dairy production inputs and management services, and collect and market dairy produce upon which it will be able to recover its credited money and agreed standing charges & profit percentage, and such like companies in other agroecologically related zones. 6. To employ animal production technologies in Rift Valley low altitude zones to produce milk products and other animal products via keeping of animals that include: Beef cattle, meat goat, meat sheep, camel, ostrich, horses, donkeys, bees, free range chicken, and other animals adapted to low altitude zones edible birds nest premises distributed to the hard core poor 7. This will undertake replacement of the relatively low productive Small East Africa goat breed with the more productive Galla goat breed kept in Northern Kenya. Facilitate mass propagation and planting all over the hills (as the flat land will be under crop irrigation) of acceptable drought tolerant goat feed trees (foliage/browse) of desirable nutritional & mineral content. These will provide reliable source of feeds for the goats and mitigate effects of climate change. And such like companies in other arid and semi-arid regions.
29
8. This Company will operate a woodwork workshop in Eldama Ravine that will use woody logs harvested from Chemosusu forest to manufacture modern beehives. Then supply the beehives to all farmers in arid and semi-arid parts of Baringo County, train the farmers on bee keeping and provide other management services. Eventually collect honey, process, package and market, after marketing it will recover its credited money, agree upon standing charges and profit percentage. 9. It will establish silos, warehouses and cold rooms for storage of farm produce during harvest time for awaiting bulk transportation to market. 10. The subsidiary companies under this group are to promote environmental conservation via agro-forestation technologies, the subsidiaries includes:11. This category of rural development companies is to be illustrated to serve as an example of how these companies will operate to achieve its mandates. 12. Each member County government will legislate for land use plans for each agro-ecological zones within its territory according to recommendations by RVIRI in consultation with agricultural development subsidiary company(ies) which is to implement the legislation(s), the legislation(s) will also provide for provisions for restricted growing of only crops that conserve water catchments area e.g. tea bush within 5km distance from water towers and within a reasonable distance from other water catchments area. 13. Land owners to indicate to the agricultural development company(ies) graveyard(s) to enable the company(ies) to accord respect, appropriately mark, conserve and maintain such sacred sites. 14. The functions of agricultural development subsidiary companies in general terms are the followinga. Training, demonstrating and facilitating farmers to adopt new agricultural technologies and other innovative farming techniques; b. funding and management of farm productions through land use contracts with land owners; c. establish irrigation infrastructures & and offer irrigated farm management services;
d. provision of crops/animals (e.g. seeds of variety of crops, beef cattle, dairy cows, Galla goat breeds, camel, poultry, bees e.t.c.), feeds/input and their health services; e. facilitate RVIRI on research and development related to land use planning and policy developments; f. provide gardening & flower bed beautification services in Resources Centres; g. facilitate tourism companies on agro-tourism related responsibilities; h. facilitate agro-forestry and other environmental conservation and sustainable utilization functions e.g. by providing relevant training and appropriate tree(s) seedlings at subsidized prices for local resident to plan in their farms; i. farm produce marketing and signing of contract-agreements with farm produce markets to enhance contract farming and economic integrations; j. facilitate overseas market penetration through interring into contract farming with foreign distributors with large distribution networks in strategic markets such as the USA, EU or China; k. Collection and transport of farm produce to processing factories and other markets; l. Subsidiaries will be established by County Ranching companies to enable each clan community land to be operated on by an independent subsidiary; such subsidiaries established on land collectively owned by clan will be owned by the concerned clan for up to 35%/51%. Ranching companies are to replace nomadic pastoralist practices hence relief most of the community member and more so children to pursue employment opportunities and education advancement. m. Agricultural development subsidiary companies will enter long term land use contracts only with land owners whose land is not under any litigation/dispute or land ownership investigation by any commission. n. To ensure replacement of cereal crop production in Rift Valley highlands with lucrative export-oriented horticultural crops, and introduction and production of cereals through water-efficient irrigation technologies in Rift Valleys Arid and semi-Arid zones.
30
o. To ensure replacement of beef and duel proposes cattle production in Rift Valley highlands with lucrative exportoriented pure-bred dairy cattle, pigs, silkworm & litter chicken production, and promotion of production of beef, lamp, mutton and free range chicken through ranching technologies in Rift Valleys Arid and semi-Arid zones p. The ultimate goal of all the agricultural development companies is to consolidate all the agricultural land in United Counties of Rift Valley into specialized highly technicallymechanized large scale plantations run by highly skilled personnel, while land owner are shareholders in the different plantations i.e. as is the case with multi-national tea plantations in Kericho, and in general resemble the case in U.S.A. Though for most of USA their government owns and leases the agricultural land to farmers, while in our case the land owners will enter into P-P-P Co.-use-my-lands-for-25years-weannually-equitably-share-the-accruing-profits-negotiatedcontracts for an agreed period with RVDAs Agricultural Development & Livestock Development subsidiary Companies.

advancement & social security and to avoid future ancestral land court-claims by the concerned indigenous peoples descent. The special measures includes the following: a. That they will be compensated according to market value and the demarcated land appropriately allocated at market value. b. According to their consent, the acquired land prompt financial compensation to indigenous people is totally/partially directly or indirectly converted to shareholding in the RVIB managed companies of their choice, to safeguard the transgenerations socio-economic security. c. Upon city/resource centre planning, land demarcation and allocation and lease to appropriate end user RVDA companies. The original land owners are to be given land sells bonuses equal to 50% profit made by RVILB, Thus, the original land owner indigenous people will benefit from the 3 digit (over 500%) percentage appreciation of the acquired land after appropriate demarcations and servicing. For example, RVILB will acquire 75,000 hectares each for Chepkoilel Industrial City and Kajiado Resort City at market prices of let say KES 2 million per hectare, spending approximately a total of KES 150 billion for city planning, demarcation, road network development, land scarping/beautification, and in facilitation of water & sanitation, electricity and internet cables (fibre optic) connections and other services. Thus, spending a total of KES 300 billion in land acquisition and servicing. Upon completion of the servicing, the land value at the industrial city will be the same as land value in Nairobi City (though RVILB will not charge the same lease fee as Nairobi city because RVDA will have mandated it to facilitate development), else RVILB will lease out 1 hectare of the land for 99 years at an approximate price/fee of KES 10 million and obtain a total of KES 750 billion. The profit made by RVILB will be KES 750 billion - KES 300 billion = KES 450 billion. Therefore the original land owners will be entitled to a total of 50% of KES 450 billion, which is equals to KES 3 million lands sell bonus per hectare to be paid to indigenous land suppliers (in other wards, investment land will have been purchased from the original land owner at the rate of KES 5 million per hectare).
Indigenous land suppliers will be advised to invest the proceeds in RVDB, RVIB or RVIB managed companies to safeguard their trans-generations socio-economic security. d. It is envisaged legislations will be enacted to guide on ancestral land court-claims and requirements for extinguishment of aboriginal title to enable RVDA to acquire its investment land in a procedure that will not result to future land claims by people purporting to hold aboriginal title or otherwise that the land is their ancestral land. In absence of guiding legislation on ancestral land court-claims, RVDA will seek guidance from Supreme Court before acquiring land under ancestral land court-claims or otherwise acquire the land after obtaining consent from the claimants. In whatever case, to avoid future indigenous peoples descents land courtclaims, genuine indigenous claimants of ancestral land will be facilitated through adequate and timely loan package from RVDB to acquire the court-claimed land and subsequently sell to RVDA thus, extinguishing their aboriginal title claims. e. Land acquisition processes will be commenced and completed between January, 2013 and December, 2013 for Kajiado Resort City, Chepkoilel Industrial City and all Resource Centres, and between January, 2013 and December, 2015 for Nakuru Commercial City. f.

The Proposed RVDA Symbols Figure 12: The proposed RVDA flag Whereby: Black: Black African United Counties of Rift Valley residents Yellow: The spirit of mutual respect & recognition, unity, partnership and cooperation as the seal for success White: The spirit of peace and love for one another Earth red: The land and mineral resources endowment in United Counties of Rift Valley 14 blue stars: The 14 Counties of United Counties of Rift Valley and their bright future Green: Agriculture as the backbone of the United Counties of Rift Valley socio-economy The Impression of Athlete on action: The talent God bestowed upon United Counties of Rift Valley members and their industriousness. 11. Conclussions st In conclusion, ten years upon establishment of RVDA (1 July, 2023), virtually all adult United Counties of Rift Valley residents will have acquired millionaire status via adequate employment & investment opportunities together with the automatic nonguarantee requiring investment shares loan worth 90% (from RVDB) of cash purchased shares, the shares are to be

automatically serviced by ones dividends for a period of not more than 10 years. The most poor and illiterate resident for example, will be millionaire by obtaining employment as manual security service provider/agricultural/construction worker earning KSH 10,000 per month, else if he/she saves KSH 5,000 per month for 2 years, one will have KSH 120,000. Therefore, once he/she invest the KSH 120,000 in RVDAs P-P-P company(ies) he/she will receive shares in loan worth KSH 1,080,000 resulting in his/her total shares being worth KSH 1,200,000 and he/she will be a millionaire. For this reason, pastoralists are called upon to fatten their beef cattle and sell them off when they are at their best weight and not to wait until drought kills them (or until market is over supplied during investment time in the year 2013/2014), and save the money to facilitate their investment in the year 2013/2014. Crop farmers are also advised to utilizes all their unused land at the same time use required crop husbandry practices to maximize their income in preparation for the investment (they can partner with those who have capital to finance enhanced farming). While the employed residents, especially the next elected political leaders, members of the disciplined forces, TSC employed teachers, public Universities employees and employees in the Diaspora (abroad) among other employees are being called upon to clear their bending loans (if any) in order for them to be in a position to borrow maximum loan using their employment salary as security else maximizing their investment in RVDAs P-P-P companies. In general, United Counties of Rift Valley indigenous peoples are requested to mobilize resources and form land buying companies that will facilitate Rift Valley Investment Land Board (RVILB) in land purchases, RVILB will purchase its investment land at preferred sites directly from indigenous people only (i.e. after ancestral land litigation by indigenous peoples clans or family lineages), to enable extinguishment of their aboriginal title on the land,
else avoiding the indigenous peoples or their descent from litigation on RVILB acquired investment land using the constitutional provision on ancestral lands or historical or present land injustices resolution strategy (refer to provisions on investment land acquisition). At the end of the first 10 year st investment/development period (the year July 1 , 2023 or otherwise 2030), residents of United Counties of Rift Valley (UCRV) will enjoy equal infrastructural development and standard of living as citizens of the United States of America (USA) and of United Arab Emirates (UAE).
