This is Ramisi sugar factory officially known as Kwale International Sugar Company in Msambweni constituency in Ramisi ward. This is the only sugar factory in the whole of coast region making it quite a novelty in the area. Kwale International Sugar Company Ltd (KISCOL) is a $200 million sugar processing facility incorporating 5,500 hectares of cultivated cane, a 3,000 tonnes-crushed-per-day sugar mill, an 18-megawatt bagasse-fired power plant and a sophisticated irrigation and water management system, resulting in affordable, locally grown sugar for the coast region and Kenya at large. The project, being one of the largest green field projects in Africa, will see the new facility sustain an impressive 30,000 litres Ethanol generation plant. The projected sugar production would help in meeting the deficit of Kenya's sugar consumption, which is approximately 200,000 tonnes per year.

Kesho Kutwa

The Kesho Kutwa exhibition is the second in a series of exhibitions the National Museums of Kenya is hosting and curating, as a precursor to the launch of the National Art Gallery of Kenya (NAGOK) project. This exhibition will provide a glimpse of what to expect once NAGOK is established and open to the public; - a combination of artworks from Kenya’s finest contemporary artists, in addition to historically significant pieces from National Museums of Kenya’s permanent collection.
The objective of the exhibition is two-fold. Firstly, Kesho Kutwa aims to chronologize the 50 plus year journey taken so far, towards the establishment of the National Art Gallery of Kenya. The journey has been long and difficult, fraught with all manner of challenges related to prioritization and goodwill. Kesho Kutwa – the day after tomorrow, heralds re-birth and renewal in a post-pandemic Kenya. The exhibition’s second objective is to bring together 5 accomplished Kenyan artists – Peter Ngugi, Beatrice Wanjiku, Michael Wafula, Peterson Kamwathi, and Dennis Muraguri - that have created new works – paintings and woodcut prints that capture the endearing human spirit of rebirth and renewal. The exhibition explores life in a post-pandemic existence. The artists respond in their own unique predictive narratives to what the day after tomorrow will look like.

Nairobi Cemetry

The War Cemetery is on the south-western outskirts of Nairobi, about 10 kilometres west of the city centre on Ngong Road, which is the main road to the Government Forest Reserve. The cemetery is adjacent to Nairobi race course and is included within the Ngong Forest Reserve.

During the Second World War, Nairobi was the headquarters of the East African Force and the base for the conquest of, what was then known as Jubaland and Italian Somaliland, the liberation of British Somaliland and the sweep north-westwards to open Addis Ababa for the return of the Emperor. The war cemetery was opened in 1941 by the military authorities. Besides the original burials, numerous graves were transferred to this cemetery from African civil cemeteries and temporary army burial grounds at Garissa, Gelib, Kinangop, Marsabit, Mega and other locations which at the time were inaccessible, so that it is now the largest war cemetery in East Africa.

Meusium

In the heart of the beautiful and buzzing city of Nairobi in Kenya, there sits unobtrusively a historical site that hardly anyone notices. It may seem like a decrepit and dilapidated old building. Just the look of the building can deter one from entering it. But the building talks volumes about the shaping of Kenyan history and culture of the people. The building is none other than the Nairobi gallery. It sits beneath the Nyayo house tower at the intersection of Kenyatta avenue and Uhuru highway. The Nairobi gallery is unique in its historical significance and connection to Nairobi’s history. Few buildings in Nairobi can match it.  The building is a National Monument and serves as a museum holding temporary art exhibitions.
