I support this part of the manifesto since it means no more Meshack Yibei.

Kenya Kwanza intends to end all forms of extra-judicial executions by security services

Yebei was not killed by EJK - that was most likely hired assasins job operating outside security forces. Understand EJK as unofficial policy that police uses to kill thugs, terrorist and now cattle rustlers rather than taking them to court - because the court system is broken.

The Mungiki killed by police and Mungiki killed by Uhuru are different. Uhuru hires assasins to eliminate Mungiki witnesses and he stops once he has achieved his objective. Every police officer deployed to say Muranga or Nairobi will find EJK policy and continue with it.

Ruto's 5yr plan for Kenya. 66 pages Solid plan full of numbers that reflect the work of 258 experts - most of them the best in their fields. Far cry from the joke that Raila presented that was heavy on generics.

Biggest departure - there will be barely any big ticket project - almost zero mega project unless someone comes with their own money and build it - Ruto is proposing to split the money small & medium business if not directly back to the people.

There will also be almost zero debt to be taken - revenues expected to double - and the budget to balance in 3yrs.

Overally Dr David Ndii fingerprints are all over in this radical plan that turns on it's head conventional ways that Kenya has been doing things - it almost revolutionary

Some of the highlights.
- Fix agriculture by investing 250B kshs in 5yrs - give farmers guarantee minimum returns linked to crop/livestock insurance - eliminate food imports.
- Introduce GMOs - first with BT Cotton.
- Provide 50B fund for SMES at every ward level - to provide cheap single digit loans.
- Fix manufacturing by focusing on small informal manufacturing - rather than large manufactures. Link manufacturing to agricluture.
- Increase mortgages from 30,000 to a million in 5yrs - by building affordable and standardized housings - gov will spend almost zero - providing land to develops who will build them and sell them cheaply.
- Electrify public transport - through public buses/motorbikes. Focus on mass transit.
- Energy - focus on charcoal/wood fuel - instead of imported LPG - build the charcoal value chain and decriminalize it.
- Increase fiber network from 10,000kms to 100,000kms. kenya is already ahead of many places including Europe - so this revolutionary - in Africa algeria has 110K out of 1 million kms of fiber - but Algeria is huge country. The fiber will be laid to the existing electricity network - meaning very little investment - just dragging the fiber alongside the electric cable.
- Fix tourism by focusing on low budget traveller/touriss and shifting kenya branding as high end tourist product.

Gachagua understands the security apparatus and the public service.

Just usual long tales. Ruto was the originator of SGR and megaprojects when he launched URP at Bomas 2012. You were his cheerleader then as now. Now ati it has been known for 40 years the economic model is faulty.

Nothing has changed this is just populist campaign stuff.

[Nefertiti]

Ruto's best example of bottom-up is Ngilu's textile in Kitui which employed many folks - while he was doing the opposite in Nairobi. Jubilee's SGR was URP manifesto.

Ruto said mega projects such as the standard gauge railwaycounty government of Kitui established a garment factory with a capacity for 600 jobs at a cost of Sh168 million, Sh280,000 per job.

[Nefertiti]

yaani the guy is quoting Ngilu but she doesn't mince her words

KENYANS BEWARE. Today the SNAKE OIL SALESMAN will
be in town selling his GRAND PROMISES and ZERO RESULTS.

Why would people get excited about a "manifesto"? Kenyans are their own worst enemies

Focus on Charcoal? by doing what? cutting down more trees?

Electrify public transport? Ndii's pie in the sky peter pan dreams

End extra judicial killings? Somali's have been calling for this, but what else worked? Ruto cannot end this just because Duale wants it.

I'm afraid we are going back to the Moi era.

[RV Pundit]

Ruto agenda is Big 4 plus Ndii ideas.
Big 4 remember was brilliant plan - food security, housing, manufacturing, and healthcare.
Uhuru failed. Ruto is going to try it himself.
Ndii has spiced it up with his ideas on smes, charcoal and has built solid numbers around.

Jubilee 1.0 is done and dusted. Delivered. Marked great success.

[RV Pundit]

Having a brilliant framework and plan is half way to the destination.
Ndii has succeeded to convince Ruto on bottom up framework
And has added his ideas....but generally Ruto manifesto is Big 4 inverted to look at the bottom of the pyramids.

Your Azimio Manifesto is a joke not worthy of anybody time.

Dr Mercy Keino think Ruto healthcare.

As a stakeholder in the health sector, I’ve looked at both @WilliamsRuto and @RailaOdinga led manifestos and picked out the healthcare elements. Both promise Universal Health Coverage (UHC), here is what I have picked from both presidential candidates. THREAD 1/12

Climate change wannabe evangelists in developed world and their fellow in dirty poor africa have bastardised firewood and charcoal yet it is a FREE RENEWEBLE energy source. Just replant the trees and in ten years they are good to go.

Fossil fuels are non renewable but are sold as if they are cure to cancer.

KNBS puts firewood usage at 55% of the households; 23% LPG and 11% charcoal. This bottoms up is real situation on the ground.

[RV Pundit]

Yes - and for LPG that we dont produce - we are wasting forex by promoting it's usage. Firewood is big business in tea growing areas because it extremely cheap to use firewood to manufacture tea...it crazy factor...something like 60 times cheaper.  Now people will grow trees for sale as charcoal. Police men will stop making charcoal an expensive contraband.

Public Forest should be fenced and protected by KFS otherwise we should never assume charcoal came from forest. People can grow trees for a living. I do that myself because it passive and for many people with land in kenya who are in urban areas - they can grow trees - make charcoal and sell it.

So yes DECRIMINALIZE charcoal is big deal. The same thing with timber and food products. Kenya gov has made it similar to transporting weed...and it has become very expensive.

The technical challenge is to come up with clean jikos - when charcoal become legal and cheaper - it will be easy.

The immediate impact will be charcoal will become cheaper, people will start to build modern kilns to make charcoal, and a new industry will be created - that will take off LPG from hotels, schools - and even low income homes in urban areas.

Ultimately if charcoal is legal it will replace firewoood - which is inefficient use of wood.

People can grow fast growing bamboo or eucalyptus for charcoal - build modern kilns - and be in business of selling charcoal - and firewood can be discouraged

These guys BURN are doing great - building 70K units a month way back - they are doing probably better now - and exporting worldwide
