Why would they slim their looting budget? Ruto should have first utilised the taxes the government was already receiving before increasing taxes. Most Kenyans are not receiving the services for which they pay taxes.

IMF numbers should tell us the true story, this anecdotal evidence is unreliable. There are people equally doing well, such as Safaricom with record profits. They have sponsored content glorifying their journey.

What do the GDP, etc growth economics say?

Ruto has given up on local jobs and is now betting on sending Kenyan youth abroad. Ruto holds a cabinet meeting and does not address the current layoffs taking place in the manufacturing industry. Instead he wants on emphasing sending Kenyans to househelp in countries like Lebanon.

It seems Kenya is now a top Labor exporter. I wonder how many B's we are talking about.

The economics of staple food, cannot get out of that trap. How about thinking bigger, I can help you, all you have to do is call us, we are here in the diaspora, born to think big and big ideas.

This is a dicey bet. TSC is crying there are no science teachers for CBC STEM pathway yet we want to send them abroad and implement CBC.

The various job positions include nurses, aged-care workers, educators in science, mathematics, English, and physical education, chefs, drivers and other unspecialised roles.

The billions remittances are flowing but given the numbers in Saudi and Qatar, seems the wages there are not moving the needle.
