I come from kipipiri, the shrinking population is partly due to migration to less cold areas. Nyandarua has become colder than ut used to be when we were growing up. This has really affected people healthwise especially the older people who have resorted moving out

[@Villagetotowntv]

I agree with you, it makes a lot sense

[@joemwangi5813]

I think It has always been the norm

[@michiremoseseng.1382]

I alsways think that it would be better to improve our standards of living instead of relocating. You see everyone dreams of living in Europe which is way colder than kinangop. It is because the infrastructure there supports comfortable living. we should do the same in nyandarua instead of relocating.

I think rural towns of western Kenya, nyanza region and western province look more vibrant than mt Kenya region. Part of reason is the proximity of central kenya to Nairobi. Nairobi is the kryptonite for development of rural towns of mt Kenya. Most of kikuyus money is concentrated in Nairobi, they don't invest in local towns.

[@Villagetotowntv]

Great insight. Thank you

[@John_K2]

By all facts, Nyandarua is the county to watch. Growing urbanisation in cities like nairobi, mombasa and Nakuru will prompt people to consider nyandarua as the next destination for work and living.

This is my home place, I also schooled here from Primary to High school. I left the place in search of higher education and that marked the end of my stay there. The shrinking population in Nyandarua is caused by number of factors like looking for better jobs in other places and education. We don't have good institutions to pursue higher education in the county. That's why we have a very large population of children below 14 years. The other factor is to escape from cold, the place is hell cold from June to around October.

So true. Thanks for watching

[@panafrican.nation]

That's why I support the "controversial" section of the Mau Mau roads going through the Aberdares, even though I'm not from any of the areas involved. When you have roads you can move your produce to wherever it's needed. We have an unfortunate situation in this country where people go hungry while food is rotting and milk being poured to the ground elsewhere because there's no infrastructure linking supply and demand _cost effectively_ . I applaud the people for being productive even with insufficient infrastructure to support them.

[@annortis]

Central Kenya is taking European population and development characteristics in all ways. eg just as in Europe, Central Kenya has 1.Shrinking family birth rate leading to negative population growth rate 2.Low death rate 3.Shrinking young population and increased aging population group. 4.More men than women, men to women ratio = 1.2 : 1. 5.Immigration rate greater than emigration rate leading to population replacement as people from other areas take low cadre jobs eg agriculture. 6.Increasing lifestyle diseases and decrease in vector borne diseases. 7. Abandonment of culture and religion. 8. Increased urbanization, which is higher than 50% in most counties in Central Kenya. 9. Increasing single parent families 10. Increased divorce rates 11. High population density 12. Increased life expectancy 13. Increased GDP per capita etc

People in nyandarua have a lot of money because they mostly rely on agricultural products and one can sell any time of the year because we have ample rain

[@robertgichuru8707]

Thanks for the tour. I found it intriguing that only 3.5% indicated they have no work and only 18% work for pay. Could these two factors potentially contribute to longer lifespans?

The shrinking population is mainly due to weather. Most people as they age relocate to Nakuru to avoid the harsh weather.
