Kindly request Norway to donate only $2B to kenya and will save the country from tough times ahead. Eurobond is due mid this year. :o

I want Ruto to continue the jetset agenda :- train his forked tongue and all his powers to get FDI at scale. Such sovereign funds can easily invest the $2B if well sold.

Investment not debt. Capisce?

Kadudu - if GoK actually makes a PITCHDECK properly with target projects and returns. There are takers like Norway, UAE, etc who are ready to be sold.

Ca depends but there are metrics one can use
1. Life expectancy Norway = 84 kwinya = 60 so you have a chance of living 24 more years in Norway
2. Norway unemployment rate = 3.6 % Kwinya = 6 % (big lie more like 50%) but anyway you are twice more likely to be gainfully employed in Norway.
3. Education. Norway is free. University  free. Kenya, you have to sell a kidney or land.
4 Norway is ranked number 2 in the world for quality of life .

All in all you have a better shot in life, born in Norway than kenya.

That is why we are never asked before been born. Third world countries would have zero population.

Some years back there was a poll conducted in Egypt. The questions were:

1. Which country in the world do you abhor most?
2. Which country in the world would you prefer to live in?

Answers:

1. USA 80%.
2. USA 80%.

 :D :D :D
