Ruto Escapes Demonetization Dragnet

[RV Pundit]

That's ok - you can have your fantasy and we can still have our reality. I told you Ruto crew will be kicked out one by one. Echesa. Boinett. Rotich. All Ruto crooks in KPLC, KPC and name it. Whic judiciary does Ruto control - the one that suspend his choirboy Waititu. When Maraga invite everyone but Ruto invite get lost in the mail

I am sure for every kalenjin so far fired you'll find a Kikuyu...Rotich went so did Thugge.The gov important dockets are UhuRuto folks.The people need some sacrifical lambs.Even during Moi era many had to go.. mostly to politics like Waiguru.If Uhuru wanted to fire Ruto folk he would have done it long time.Obviously Uhuru is smart.Ruto does not control everything which is why he is busy campaigning

Pundito,
How would you explain the 100B hole the government has just burned?

They released 218B and only exchanged 118B?

Where is the 100B?

That was as of end of July.Recheck your data

That's a good move by Kamwana. 100 billion...damn. Can they do it for all currencies?

It depend on which newspaper you read....anyway tomorrow is when CBK will update us.That somebody in kenya would be unable to clean their money is the most idiotic thing one can think of. I expect CBK to receive 99.9% of the money back - maybe some old grannies & pastoralist who hide the money under tins & mattresses will be found foul. In fact I haven't seen that 1,000 the last few weeks meaning it was nearly all exchanged.

Of the 217.6 million pieces of the old series Ksh.1000 notes in circulation before June 1, 2019, CBK had made the receipt of 100 million pieces at the end of August leaving out 117.6 million pieces.

About 97% returned.Nearly 8B ksh not returned.

India saw 99.9% returned so CBK can claim some victory for invalidating around 3%..7.3b KSHS.

A minute didn't pass...my friend in Australia told me he carried 5k...now worthless.Majority of  these money is abroad

Agreed

Pastoralists who migrated in tana river stuck with worthless money ..I think CBK should accept old KSHS if there is a good explanation

[Nefertiti]

Maasai herders i guess didn't get the news since June. These folks will pitifully go extinct. GoK should treat them as useful heritage and rescue them. So the "logical explanation" you're calling for should be simply because they are the Maasai.

Take your meds please.Pastoralism one of human advancement started in Nile Valley and spread...maasai are not only pastoralist and no maasai live in Tana River.The first time I went to Turkana I discovered no radio signal reached there and newspapers arrived on planes 2 or 3 days later Temperatures in afternoon are especially insane.. nearly 40 degrees. In high school we had maasai disappearing for a whole term because they reach home only to find their family moved to Tanzania and had to trek there....or were told to go wandering with cows for months until the rains come.Tana river live pokomo...Bantus and ormas .. close cousin to boranas or promos..pokomo live along the river tana cultivating along the river banjs..ormas are pastoralists that move with climate

[Nefertiti]

Maasai are the most antique of those cultures. I bet if Borana have residues of old currency Maasai are worse off. They don't have the excuse of far flung seclusion unlike the Turkana. They still criss-cross Nairobi with herds as if it's 1820.

You do realize these people did us a favour by conquering the 3/4 semi arid land otherwise if they became sendentary farmers like kalenjin did become maybe we won't have any forest left. They are only able to do this by practising nomadism or pastoralism.That same practice of constantly being on the move make any development including education near impossible...you basically need moving schools etc.. thankful boarding schools are now sorting them out.

They need a zoo or sanctuary as endangered species. They are a tourist attraction with zero other contribution. They are animal herding plain Nilotes - Kalenjin are highlanders. No forest has been saved by Maasai.

Botswana shows it possible to save pastoralism by converting them to rangers...but we know what happened to group ranches in Kenya.. anyway  they need modern rangeland management...
