I don't like to be tribal, but the facts are the facts. Yes, all of kenya's politicians are corrupt thugs, but the Kalenjins seem to take it a notch higher.
It's over for Ruto. He has been even worse than Moi because he has ruined the country in just 2 years. Moi took 24 years.
My question is: What is going on with these Kalenjins? They can't seem to lead without violence. No policies, no intellectual ideas. nothing. Just stealing, violence and thuggery.
Unfortunately for Africa, tribal culture is still significant. Maybe in 1000 years when africans become more civilized, it won't matter, but for now, it does.
I on the otherside, backed by data and evidence, disagree. If you are shooting from the ass anything can be said, but evidence is stubborn. In just 2 years, with extreme opposition and economic sabotage from cartels, Ruto has moved Kenya two steps ahead of Oil rich Angola, and Massive Ethiopia. Given 10 years and relative calmness, Kenya would get rid of slums, and likely move to first position with all the investments in manufacturing, agriculture, housing , and major reforms currently underway. If you have capital, Kenya is the destination now, but if you are lazy, I would bolt out. You cannot compare Uhuru and Kibaki's 20 year period with Ruto's 2 years, if you are data-evidence-driven.
Kenya's GDP is projected to reach $132 billion in 2025, exceeding Ethiopia's projected $117 billion, marking a shift in regional economic hierarchy.
Kenya has overtaken Angola and Ethiopia and is now considered the sixth largest economy in Africa.
Kenya had surpassed Angola to become the third largest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa before.
While Ethiopia's GDP growth rate was higher than Kenya's in 2023, Kenya's GDP per capita was higher.
World Bank data indicates Kenya's economy had already surpassed Angola's in 2022, while Ethiopia was ahead of Kenya at that time.
IMF data suggests Kenya overtook Angola in 2023 and Ethiopia in 2024.
