To discuss the NASA manifesto.

[RV Pundit]

I doubt he can string a coherent arguments. He seem to specialize in destroying - not building.

[RVtitem]

What time?

[RV Pundit]

He is on..says we are one election from civil strife.

[RV Pundit]

sounds geeky.

[Georgesoros]

Too much govt in Kenya.
I propose either cut salaries by half or cut MPIGs and MCAs by 40%.
Cant afford the current ineffective govt.

Ndii fool fighting Citizen's Jacky Maribe. Very antagonistic.

[RV Pundit]

No wonder the manifesto sound abstract and academic. You can see the fingerprints of this fool. The reporter is having problem squeezing a manifesto from Dr Ndoom.

When he says NASA would shift from Euro type of borrowing to concessionary loans from the likes of world bank. How would he do that when Kenya can't qualify for such loans since we're now classified as emerging economy?

[Nefertiti]

"I am a professor of macroeconomics...

This is a comedy - dude is schooling the poor lady on economics. Interview sounds like one of his newspaper stories full of jargon. Thought NASA were gonna send Madvd. At least he's likeable and has some EQ. Ndii has high iQ low EQ.

[RV Pundit]

He is stuck in 2002/03 - just like listening to Prof Nyongo - he doesn't know kenya have long move on.

When he says NASA would shift from Euro type of borrowing to concessionary loans from the likes of world bank. How would he do that when Kenya can't qualify for such loans since we're now classified as emerging economy?

[RV Pundit]

He is now harassing the poor journalist  - everything is in the constitution

[RV Pundit]

What an a.hole..the lady is glad it is all over. Mara I am economist. Then one time he is social scientist. Then everything is constitution except for violence they are planning in NASA

[hk]

He also stated that government is borrowing more short term(issuing T-bills) instead of long term( treasury bonds), that's statistically incorrect  https://www.centralbank.go.ke/domestic-debt-intrument/ . I thought he'd have better answers on how to control debt and how to reinvigorate private sector. He couldn't help himself but focus on milk sector and how brookside has a monopoly. Which begs the question, Fresha Githunguri dairy which is owned by farmers how come they don't pay themselves ksh.60 per litre or even 50?

Talk of a paid jubilee trojan. She epitomizes falling journalistic standards in Kenya.

The only thing she is good at is rolling her jubilee eyes. Its her only competence!

Ndii is a highly regarded economist and has consulted for the World Bank.   So, until proven otherwise---e.g. through basic checks---perhaps we should assume that he knows what he's talking about.

As a matter of fact, Kenya (a) is still eligible for such concessionary loans and (b) has been getting plenty of it since whenever it was declared a "middle-income economy".   Here is one example from just a couple of months ago:

I am reading plenty of what amounts to hate against Dr. Ndii. It is shameful coming from such a site. I expect that kind of thing from the likes of Njamlik and other specialists in ad hominem

Well I guess I can play the game too...

1. Anne Kiguta (Jomo Gecaga's wife) came to the studio unprepared and with cheating notes prepared by Jubilee (who she was very protective about and wouldn't stomach them being named)
2. Unfortunately for her, she was handed a working document (obviously stolen by the NIS or whoever Gecaga got it from) which she tried to quote and was immediately set right - that was NOT the NASA manifesto. From then on, her cheating notes became a huge liability
3. She was clearly unprepared to ask any questions from her own knowledge of the manifesto and placed Ndii in that position any teacher loathes - when you have to correct the question being directed at you since it reveals and contains a lot of ignorance.
4. It became a regular lecture with Ndii educating her. She displayed ignorance of the constitution - something she should have mastered.

I believe towards the end she intended to incite opprobrium against Ndii by accusing him of sending an inflammatory tweet. Again that was quickly nipped in the bud when she was reminded that the "offending words" were published several months ago and that Ndii was simply quoting himself. Now any smart journalist would not have been caught with her nickers down on the background of the tweet if she had done her research

She became angry - which became a gift to Ndii who now enjoyed the freedom of the Citizen studio. 

We can discuss the specific answers but that is the account of what transpired.

What is the difference? Educate me. I had no idea they were mutually exclusive.

That is funny.  Especially because I only discovered David Ndii when you were effusive in his praise a while back.  And you were right.  He knows his shit.

[Omollo]

He meant the manifesto implements the constitution - something Jubilee has not done. For example the matter of land, will be addressed by implementing the constitution. I guess Jubilee expected him to say things they could use such as NASA will seize land in Laikipia etc. Obviously Kiguta had a mission to extract that from him and she failed.
