Mwea Township may pass as a good case study of the National Economy:

This week, we turn to one of the townships in Kirinyaga County that probably best represents our national economic system. My attention to this town was drawn by a chaotic experience driving through the town on my way to Embu. As fate would have it, I spent most parts of the last two weeks of November in and out of Embu, culminating in an expedition to Mt. Kenya’s Lenana peak last weekend through the Chogoria route.
