wow..bars?!! Lets forget the tribal politics/mathematics for a while. What happened? and what would a collapse look like for the average kenyan?

This is the danger that so many 3rd world countries face. They are so fragile that a regime can undo gains or screw it up in as little as 10 years.

There are economic riots in Ghana i saw on Al Jazeera. 3rd world will suffer in the new Cold War US vs China. Looking at the pressers at G7 and NATO it's going to be tough for years. No detente in sight.

Things are really bad out here. Never seen it this bad. People have no money and cost of fuel has pushed commodities price up. Imagine as a landlord feeding your tenants who owe you 5 month rent....ni kubaya boss.

China zero covid policy is fucking the supply chain big time. the oil crises is similar to the crises during peak oil in 1970s. next year a severe global recession will hit. it will take at least 3 years to get out of it. Kenya will see slowed economic growth for at least 2 decades

why are you saying 2 decades? what's the analysis behind this conclusion

I agree with you on selling your property. Get the cash and buy in America. Africa is a write off for us (it wont change during the course of our lives)

one decade of reorganizing debt. the next to try to grow the economy using reforms. the  next 10 years will be kenya just experiencing shocks coming from Asia and Europe..

Kenya's economy can be turned around in 3 years with Ruto's focused leadership and 6 to 10 pm around-the-clock management of the economy. Further, building and maintaining institutions and three arms of government institutions will assist the economy take off from state capture and so many brokers putting thumbs on the scale. Free marketplace and Kenya's economy will thrive! Blaming Russia and China is BS. Uhuru just sold Kenyan ports for massive kickbacks; that, my friends, is an example of what kills the economy!

They may not own the actual port, but most operations. Ports and other strategic assets like airport should be locally managed, scrutinized, and operated!

You use to support zero covid acouple months ago and ask why kenya is not doing the same.

Did you stop trusting science lol

WHO, UN, WEF are decimating human activity and business to bring net zero carbon under 2030 agenda.

Fixing small poor economy like Kenya's require common sense approach - you unlock one area the multiplier effect is felt close the board.

Messing it also takes similar path.

For instance at a glance you cannot point to one magical thing Kibaki really did to unlock the economy or what ufool has done to kill the economy.

A few right steps or missteps you are headed to paradise or to hell.

With everyone in agreement that we have no option but to fix our economy, it shall be done.

Fixing food can be done in six months, with good rains and fertilizer as investments are made into land redistribution and grand irrigation. Cheap food means more disposable income circulating in the economy.

Housing - we have 12 million households. 90% rural households all own houses. Two approaches either massively invest in current towns or invest in rural areas. With basic infrastructure - water, electricity and INTERNET, many digital workers can live anywhere in Kenya. ICT can easily employ 2 million youngings doing online gigs. As TVETs and land goes to those who have not been to schools.

Yes also now converted into Ndii economy versus development. I think hardware as good as it is - without software - it useless. Uhuru has messed up the software - now his expressway has no traffic - SGR they have to force people to use it.

Something is broken - we need to change focus - from development to economy.
