The NSE: Can't Think of an organization with more mind-numbingly boring people

I really wonder who these stockbrokers are targeting with their mind numbingly boring "launches" --

long, boring speeches that all end with "all protocols observed";

Your excellency sir; Sir, excellency; with your permission sir;

No one makes off the cuff remarks; all are reading from cue cards;

All standing there in their boring dark suits. All protocols observed (what's up with this stupid phrase? ) The NSE needs a Jim Cramer or someone like that to ignite even a modicum of interest in what they're doing.

Who in kenya will even invest in REIT's? kenya is the land of ka-ploti; nunua kaplot

This is something that should have been done 30+ years ago. Stock markets should be intuitive and agile and power the economy continuously by creating daily/weekly, and monthly millionaires. In turn, those millionaires become entrepreneurs who transform small businesses into big ones. I am glad the President is open to new ideas and willing to learn and create unique products that will benefit Kenya in the long run. NSE has been stuck for almost 20-plus years because of brain-dead people leading it! The stock market is the only place where massive wealth can be generated, and yes, the only industry that produces and sustains millionaires and billionaires. From Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, the rest make and keep 70% of their wealth in products in the stock market. Kenyans should learn that hoarding money in banks/saving is for losers. Investing in a safe, controlled environment like the stock market is the way to go.

NSE has only 63 listed companies. It should be an instrument for businesses to raise funds and for investor to acquire shareholding in companies. The minimum requirements for listings need to be reviewed. There's a reason why private equity companies are buying companies instead of owners listing on NSE.  Naivas, quickmart, java, got private equity money instead of listing.

There is no NSe to speak just safaricom and banks pata potea sort of game.

For this to happen, they need to reform the judiciary and allow the rule of law to work. No one will invest in a banana republic.

Also, they have to be able to explain these things to the average mama mboga in nyamakima and stop using this bizarre phrase: "all proctocols observed" -- what's the point of this phrase? to assuage the ego's of 3rd world leaders leading poverty stricken countries?

Uhuru killed it.

How?

Look like ruto is trying to ignite it, but how do these brokers make money with so few listings and such low trading volumes?
