Nyamira County is not poverty stricken, Nyanchwani

I read with interest Silas Nyanchwani’s assertion published in The Nairobian about Nyamira County.

The writer is well-travelled and trained journalist whose professionalism I wouldn’t want to doubt. Ironically, he is a Kisii who schooled at Nyambaria Boys High, which happens to be in Nyamira. Whereas it could be true that Nyamira is dull and maybe backward, it is certainly fallacious to refer to it as the dullest and backward in Kenya.
