Uhuru Rejects Calls to Wtite off Luhya Farmers' Cane Debt
« on: December 19, 2016, 10:16:47 AM »
He refuses to grant the same favors he dished out to Kikuyu farmers recently.

Note that the Kikuyu farmers took loans from private banks. Uhuru used tax payers funds to clear those loans fully.

business climate is not conducive to growth. These businesses were naurtured under Kibaki but destroyed by corruption under Uhuru. Money meant for govt services is funneled into peoples pockets leaving basic infrastructure struggling. Its very expensive to transport goods when you sit in traffic the whole day by the time perishables gets to market its thrown away.

That may be true.  But why does Uhuru cancel the debts of one group and not another.  Is there a structural reason that explains these different outcomes or is it just tribalism?  I am genuinely curious.

Uhuru is not being objective regarding his criteria for canceling debt. He should have cancelled all agri debt, not just coffee.
