When Uhuru took over in 2013.This was the case:Monday 1 April 2013 $1 USD = KSh85.3704.Today the rate is 125.
That's a 40% loss I think.The beneficiary is the person who bought the Eruobond and is earning his money back in dollars.if we were paying $1BN dollars in dollars denominated debt then,we are now servicing the same debt at $1.4BN.
That is 40BN getting lost annually out of ignorant policy mistakes.Why couldn't they borrow from local bank through syndicated financing?Bring equity kcb nssf mutual funds etc and Kenyans through mpesa.pool 1TN ksh and build these roads Rails and dams?
You can imagine what loosing the hustled of KRA officers collecting 40BN shillings annually and then loosing the same money in dollars denominated loans by Uhuruto called Eruobond to some conman in ireland.
That 40BN is like 2000KM of roads or two mega dams somewhere in North eastern with harvested rain water.
When I hear somebody praise Ruto bottom up I ask myself wher4 was he when these loans were being procured?What a tragedy in our lifetime.
