Chinese tough questions to uhuru
« on: June 28, 2019, 11:53:40 AM »
Mr Kenyatta was asked how he would afford a census and a referendum on constitutional change.
The Chinese even wanted to know if he planned to stand for office again (he is obliged to stand down in 2022).

Pundit, I thought you always sung here how sweet Chinese loans are to Africa. What happened between yesterday and today?
The Chinese are not stupid and have seen how Kenya has tripled its debt in 6 years. Which household can survive such a spendtrft economy? What does Kenya have toshow of these debts?
Anyway the chickens are slowly coming home to roast. Whoever takesover in 2022 will have to invite the IMF like those days of Moi.

Btw, the Chinese should just forgive Uhuru. He simply has no clue on these matters they queried him about. His day starts in the late afternoon with JD. Here he is a professor and can lecture you on when best to drown one of those tots.

The level of creative accounting in corrupt systems is just incredible. You get the real depressing figures and then throw in yours randomly to serve the purpose. SGR and real estate are just a tip of the iceberg.
