		In the final analysis, the answer to Nyanza’s problems lies in the bigger picture of Kenya’s actual economic status and the role of institutions that determine development in a country.
		Mugo’s tell-off for Nyanza politicians was curious for a second reason; it raises the question of to what extent these politicians determine education policy even in their areas.
		When the history of education in Nyanza is written, the ‘harambee transition’ of the multiparty era will be more than a footnote because it has become the engine of growth in our educational attainment.

		Nyanza province is one of the regions of the country facing most serious problems relating to women's status and health status of infants and children.
