I cant believe we didn't notice this guy as the best president of kenya
Exactly 😢
❤❤
Which party is his?
@@carolinewangui855 are you still asking about parties?
I think 2027 was his time. The public had to learn the consequences of their actions first, then they will pay attention to their choices in the future. Ruto has been the medicine for public ignorance the same way Trump was to the US. Pain has a way of instilling lessons.
Truth be told we are the problem we Kenyans
No the problem is chebukati and martha koome.. and a few greedy corrupt kenyans who occupy important offices. Kenyans are very smart and clever - being held back by a few demons
as it has always been.
Men, this Guy is a genius, he should be our president
This is the biggest truth: We never needed the loans. We can very much do very well without borrowing. Remember 2017 when Ruto was viciously attacking those who were against borrowing? And calling them enemies of Kenya?
And those are the loans they stole thoroughly. Fraudsters.
Watching this now after the recent events..... looks surreal and prophetic. The revolution is finally here. You should invite Jimi back. I think he's best suitable for Kenya presidency.
This Man understands and gets it. This is the MAN to watch.
Every mindful Kenyan should take note of the things being said here.After all is said and done,we got individual responsibilities to handle at our personal level.
Yet another fool here again with individual responsibility nonsense.
Wat does an individual got to do with gvt incompetence?
U put incompetent people in power, then wen they are unable to work, u say oh no, individual responsibility?
Nonsense.
How does an individual pay odious debt wen he s being taxed to death?
U guys have sung that song of individual foe so long, and 60yrs after independence, the country is till faced by same problems, and they only seem to be getting worse
Exactly
@@dukakisomondi8552 Wacha machungu🤣😂 We are recently colonized people. A prominent author stated that the colonized people become infatuated with the colonist. They aspire to be like them. They adopt their religion, lifestyle and even crave their women. This is Kenya. The black elite class become exactly like the colonizers, despising the same natives they once were. KENYA IS AN EXTRACTIVE COLONIAL COUNTRY!
@@Pmooli What are you rambling on and on about? The question was, " what has an individual git to do with Govt incompetence? How is your neocolonialistic angle of argument throwing any light on the question that you are responding to? You are generating too much heat but hardly any light in the discussion.
@@georgeodhiambo598they always point fingers at others yet they are the real problem of Kenya.
Jimi makes a lot of sense!
Really?
@@Joysalamu He sure does.
Very true
Jimmy Wanjige for president 2027🎉🎉
Despite the impending crisis, Money is still being spent to renovate state house. Our priorities are upside down
wow...watching this 5 months later 29 june... Everything is unfolding as they say. As a young person in Kenya...you guys should bring this sense to us
G.O.A.T...Debate...Good Job spice fm... Jimmy Wajingi we need you more than ever!!
When fuel tankers refuse to offload in Msa, stations run dry that is when Armageddon will start
Listenig to Mr. Jimmy Wanjigi reminds me of a song by Tracy Chapman, "Revolution."
Just seen a notice from NSSF new contribution is 5K!!!😠😠😠😠 Ruto must GO!
Please bring Jimmi Wanjigi and David Ndii next time.
This will be great but David Ndii , atatii ,
kabisa, walete wawili hao..
Kenya is a country on auto pilot soon or later someone capable needs to take over or we all hit the ground hard never to recover for a whole generation
If we understood nothing else, lets understand that the KES to USD and GBP is alot worse everyday....surely, that must be an indicator for something!
160 ksh per usd now. Horror!!!
I live in the UK and 200ksh for 1£ is a massive joke, the country is literally sinking as we watch
Latif was playing damn before when the discussion started but now it's becoming clearer
This guy can make you to get really annoyed with the politicians! 😂😂😂
I need to take some cold water.
😂 for real
Unfortunately, Jimmi is right and I fear that next time he comes there will be one or two of these hosts at risk of losing their jobs.
Economic G.O.A.T need to get him to that presidential Chair
Most people are not able to process crises of this scale and prefer to say "everything will be okay" just to comfort themselves. Even leaders behave like this ...until a catastrophe strikes .
The scale of this thing is too big for most of us to fully wrap our heads around.
If some debts are fraudulent.. how did they get into our books?
Does it mean some international lenders can be crooked to lend and not disberse?
As Jimmy puts it,ranks are being closed.the current state of our economy is unifying foes,a unity of purpose.
Given a chance, Jimmy would do better than Kibaki
If it is not possible to host Wanjigi and CS Ndung'u together, please invite the latter and confront him with the question of odious debt. On revolution, I see an opportunist in Wanjigi who does not necessarily have the best interests for this country. All revolutions destroy the country because the leaders are also driven by selfish ambition.
What is the reward for the mouse that bells the cat?
This is the type of video to share widly
Jimmy Wanjigi for President 2027.
Meanwhile let's endure the consequences of electing clowns.
Naah, He's juss feeling guilty he put us here is 2013
Jimmy is overrated. He's salty because he's no longer a willy dealer
@antipasigilai5671 On the contrary i think Jimmy is underrated.
@@stillirise6086 me too. He makes alot of sense
@@antipasigilai5671 What else would you have wanted him to expose on this subject? Incidentally, he is the only person who has brought this issue onto the platform of public discourse. Even Treasury and CBK mandarins whom we pay billions of shillings are completely mum on this subject. Not even one of them has countered Wanjigi's position. Kuna mambo hapa.
always refreshing to listen to Jimmys views ...Very sober mind
Jimmy is very bright
We like it on not Jimmy Has spoken The TRUTH 💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️ and kenyans Especially the middle class 😂😂😂😂yall better wakeup ....and fast.....ure running towards the poor...poor.....sprintingggg😂😂😂😂
Totally makes sense lakini zakayo is too arrogant to accept the situations
He was part of the scheme 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wanjigi i salute you, i didn't know you as i know now
Tragedy is majority of kenyns can't resons beyond their tribal madness
Thanks Jimmy!
I wish Azimio could engage and put people like Jimmy Wanjigi in frontline to fight and save the sinking kenya. We need someone fresh in the office as soon as now if not 2027.
Can you imagine in this current situation State hse is Being Renovated ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Very sad indeed
Every politician who will come here will be as sweet as jimmy these people are clever they know when to say what and when to say that, kenyans should put efforts of what they are doing jimmy is selling himself for the next election and saying what he would like kenya to be for him to snatch opportunity, but he should not make kenyans loose hope, its bad wanjigi i have been there since your father was an mp of kamukunji, and kelele for loosers are always like that even when is bad try to give people hope while tring ti fix things.
Can you be objective for once? What is it that Wanjigi has stated that you are differing with? Those ODIOUS debts are about you and I repaying loans, some of which never even came into the country, while others were siphoned out as soon as they landed here. The issue is not about HIM! It is about US!
@@georgeodhiambo598 George i didn't differ with him all what i said every politician will have something to say depending where he is looking coin from but he should give people hope,
Why are kenyans addicted to getting hope? Thats how women think, men live in reality and do what is needed no matter what.
@@edwardmboche6771 Ok. Noted. Sawa.
Kenyans need a hard look in the mirror... We love underhand dealings and ujanja too much... and now we will pay
Jimmy is very right and the head office fear that.
I think personally i didn't notice jimmy but he should be president
45:13 Truer words have never been spoken!
I mentioned to one of the posts above, my issue is not with the numbers. What I have a problem is his assertion that the ‘solution’ is to simply ‘not pay the debt’ because it is ‘odious debt.’ That would be a veritable death knell for the country’s economy.
Do people really think that the various multinational banks, Bretton Woods institutions, (I work at one of those), and various creditor nations (eg the Paris Club nations) will just let some African (or LatAm or S/SE Asian) country simply come and claim the debt was ‘odious and we will not pay?’
With no consequence? You really think it would be as easy as Mr Wanjigi claims it would be? That we have public discourse, do an audit, make the claim, and they will just raise their hands, say mea culpa and admit it’s true, and cancel the debt so we only have 30% of the current debt in our books to pay????
They would make an example of the country to ensure other nations do not get such fancy ideas. There is a reason Chad, Ghana, Zambia, and now Ethiopia are working with the G20 Common Framework restructuring to try and get out of their default status. Or how Ghana has MASSIVELY punished local bond holders and pension plans for their people to avoid hurting foreign debt holders.
Or maybe those countries are dumb - maybe they should just have done what Mr Wanjigi claims would work, and claim that the debt is ‘odious!’ After all, it’s just that simple, right?
Ridiculous!
This is why I wish the radio station had a proper economist to challenge the NONSENSE Mr Wanjigi spouts forth every second month on that program.
And the ‘solutions’ he offers are nonsense. Pure unadulterated nonsense. Such a high level of nonsense that it would have been better he said the solution is selling hyena gonads or snake venom or whatever nonsense that other fella with the dreadlocks was saying!
I personally believe Mr Wanjigi is ‘talking his own book.’ He knows a default would absolutely devastate the economy, and having dollars outside he could step in and buy a lot of assets at (literally) throw away prices. The issue though is that it would be at the cost of everything we consider good about Kenya. I would personally stand to benefit as well if the Shilling collapsed since I saw this happening years back and positioned myself appropriately
, but I am a patriot and would not want to benefit at the cost of my country.
Unfortunately most of the leaders in this country are not patriotic - that is why ONE side claims they are going to the streets to fight for justice for Baby Pendo (and once they get a handshake they forget about her), and the OTHER side claims to be about hustlers when it is clear they only need those for the voting booth. BOTH sides are the same, but unfortunately very few people ask the right questions!
Including radio stations that broadcast asinine ‘solutions’ without having someone learned enough to CHALLENGE what is said. Or even hosts who can - at the very least - google what happened to Argentina when it defaulted. Nothing. Just providing platforms to people who are (knowingly or unknowingly) calling for economic devastation on the country.
Or if inflation was above 100%.
People like Mr Wanjigi are highly dangerous. They are dangerous because they come across as polished, and in a country where people are used to politicians acting like Vitimbi comedians (eg how politicians dance before and after their ‘speeches’), people like him come across as ‘serious.’ Yet his plan would absolutely devastate the Kenyan economy.
I concur with your sentiments 100%. He appears to talk the right thing but he is talking of disarming a nuclear bomb with the tongue.
That's the thing with our politicians very dishonest,It's like saying you take a loan from the bank then instead of using for the purpose you applied it for, you end up misusing the funds and now you are struggling paying back and so your simple solution would be not paying and face consequences eg they will auction your house,car,business and make it impossible for you to borrow again until you clean up your mess.Really Jimmy!
@@bensonchege8409 unfortunately many of our fellow Kenyans are not smart enough to realize what Jimmy is recommending is national suicide.
Why not seek audience with spice and lay down your thoughts 🤔🤔🤔
Challenge Jimmy in a forum bro
When he was nudged for "his solution," I turned up the volume eager to learn about his unique approach. When he said he would just refuse payment, I clearly understood that he has no clue or, as you say, has some mischievous intent.
Econonic genius
Wanjigi should be running this damn çountry.
Titanic has hit the iceberg and its sinking but the music and dance continues...but death is eminent!
EXCELLENT!!!
We need to go to court ,we stop paying debt that didint benefit Kenyans ,na wale wameiba washikwe watupwe ndani
Which court
Perhaps such interviews can make people Hold more dollars
Its only Mr. Wanjigi who shuts Erics mouth.
If Jimmy vie i will vote for him
Wherever i’ll be, my vote goes to your sir,
2027 JIMMY WANJIGI ✅🗳️
Kenya is a business & you will run it well.
Without accountability for these misdeeds we shall never move forward as a country, let's not squander this golden opportunity.
Uwii our savings will be squandered
jimmy is a genius
What Jimi is saying is very true.Why pay Odious debt funds first that was not approved by the Kenyans and secondly is not in the budget
The Kenyan train is going full steam towards a cliff with no brakes....only one outcome n that is we are going to crash...😮
Jimmy can be a great leader
Why cant we Kenyans just give this guy 5yrs tuone kama ata okoa hii Kenya yetu.
Gosh release us from all these debts .
The people that took the loans should be held accountable.I cannot pay for loans shared amongst friends.Let them pay.
2027 we are not puting politicians in office... We want economists and revolutionary people who understands the situation we are in and have the mind to bring change.... The vetting process should be stricter 2027...and we should have a clause in the constitution on how to easily remove a non functioning president from office.... Not without a lot of beuracracy....
Problem is middle class pensants have nothing to loose but everything to gain if status quo should ever change
Amazing solutions. Awesome, but I keep wondering. Jimmy has hosted these political elites in his house, he’s helped form governments , why can’t he package this message properly and go to them?.
Try talking sense to even your close friends and you will learn what Jesus experienced.
Jimmy is an opportunistic crook just like them.
You cannot just claim that you won't service part of a debt because some of the money was stolen. Once you get the money, you are it's custodian for better or for worse.
10:16 Our education system is really a joke...
Schooling system
A joke is understatement.
In every moment wise people known by their own talk.
But i agree with Nduku still Waiting for when folks will hit thé streets without Raila or Jimmy or anyone calling them but si rahisi gouvernement presses the violence buttons and scares all of us but i guess it will get à point we dont fear anymore
Without military power to side of the PEOPLE révolutionary work quite hard
Ruto had his people at the helm!
What would happen if we took that housing scam money and redirected it towards prepaying our debts bit by bit?
Also what would happen if we took all that money we waste on travel and hospitality and we used it to prepay our debts?
The debts are growing faster than the peanuts we're collecting
Why pay a debt that never made it into the country.
We need an audit of all our debts to be made public and their respective projects.
Where is that money? 😂😂😂😂😂, that money is already eaten by those you voted for with few houses built to fools those who voted for them.
Housing levy is only 6B per month, making it 72B per year. This is negligible in the face of 1.4T debt per year
He should be a senator
Too bad guys like wanjigi they will never let him near power.
Its worse than we thought.there are people who have not accepted that ruto's presidency.and talking about bloodshed.hope the president is listening and preparing.
Citizens aren't eating presidency, for once.mate
By the way the president is always annoyed I think he is aware of what Jimmy my very old friend is talking about but just trying to deflect the conversation and attention
No one ever wants to dispute Wanjigis Plan to avoid paying dubious debts..Why? Because they benefit from it
When will this all make sense to young people and tugege and people supporting ethnic politics
This odious debt that jimmy is talking about won't be followed up to know if it exists reason being those who are in Government might have been involved in chewing this "odious debt"
So what am hearing is that the solution is for the president to have a national dialogue about debt?.....with akina azimio?we have just had a dialogue btw kalonzo and ichung'wa that has yielded nothing.there is a eurobond to be paid and no time to waste.
According to Jimmy we are calling for a handshake to make things right pride n ego a side
why dont we as citizens vote guys like Jimmy Wanjigi??? what is wrong with us
A nonsense
Kenyans love to be lied to. They never find the truth juicy enough.
Kenyans love their thieves and liars. They have no time for the likes of Wanjigi.
Africans have never voted sensible leaders. The fact that all of Africa is still 3rd world is proof that we have been choosing the worst. Listen to campaigns and you note that no real practical policies are ever addressed. Jimmy will not be elected due to tribalism and other petty reasons.
Even Jimmy, is just talking talking talking, voted in, he will turn his back to the people. Why are they or him choosing and support Raila??There is no anyway kenya to vote in again between two tribes even if are not having other tribes. We are ready to even vote for other tribes but not k ikuyus and kelenjins… no way. They are the ones who have madeus to be where are now.i know some people me tribalistic but it is truth.Let give to other tribe well.
Tell Kenya govt to buy BTC. It will add it to their reserves eventually. Can we do it now while it's profitable?
The radio show needs to have an ECONOMIST on the show to challenge Wanjigi. If we default on debt the economy is dead.
You don't need an economist to understand the basics , he says whatever we collect is enough to pay debts.
It is the so-called economists who infest Treasury who have driven us into this mess while using technical terms and phraseology to hide their incompetence and crooked ways. What Kenyans need are a few individuals who chop up the complex debt situation and bring out the issue in a language ordinary Kenyans can understand. Someone like Wanjigi.
actually he saying default on the illegal debt...there is a first part of this interview where he explains it
An economist is ANYONE who has an economics degree. And there are many(including yours truly) who have those degrees. But even without those degrees, you can still comprehend the numbers. They are not that difficult.
@@joelgitui9573 I have no problem with that. What I have a problem is his assertion that the ‘solution’ is to simply ‘not pay the debt’ because it is ‘odious debt.’ That would be a veritable death knell for the country’s economy.
Did he say we should dispose off bonds.
Jimmy Wanjigi should get into government. If not as president then at least minister
10:21....sad indeed 😢
Ruto is too proud he cant accept he has failed. Things must work. I agree kenyans are sharp and hardworking . Given a chance things can change
All debts are legal since it is Parliament that gives a nod
How can you pay a loan when it never showed up on your account. Simply put higher officials with knowledge transferred the 50% of Euro bond into a personal account . Then a forensic audit should be done in the interest of the Kenyan public who will bear a greater consequences if default to occur
Right now we saying ths guy is the right guy for top job but once the election fever hit will say why only kikuyus.
It's not possible to be a first world country with the kind of birthrates we have. Also, how many global patents are we filing each year as Kenyans? Which countries developed without massive oil deposits, or without global patents in physics, biology, chemistry?
global patents? Zero. My question is about the birth rates. Are you saying our birth rates are a positive or negative? And what is your rationale?
@@iamsyourdadi If population growth rate (if which birth rate is just one of the factors) exceeds or strains economic growth rate, then it is a negative. But if it is containable within economic growth, then it is a positive.
Birth rate by itself dies not say much about the well being of a population, fir now and in the foreseeable future.
Global patents do not occur in a vacuum. For a country to produce global patents in reasonable numbers, then it must put in money into research and development. Local universities can hardly meet their most basic running costs. Public universities are often on strike like school teachers. In addition to spending most of their time in teaching activities (and very little serious research work) most lecturers also run around from one university to another in an effort to put a few more coins into their pockets.
How much funding (be it private or public) goes into funding R&D activities? Zero. What is the output of R&D activities? Zero. The equation is well balanced. Zero = Zero!
@@georgeodhiambo598 Well birth rate is inversely proportional to education so i think that sorts itself out
@@georgeodhiambo598 You are right here but I would add a few more variables. As long as the universities are not tied to the market, then innovation can never be realized.
University operation should also be decoupled from the government
Odious debt? How did the financing countries approve such? Is it true that none of it was used to fund any projects? What then did Uhuru government use in the many projects we see around the country! I am having a hard time understanding this….This information should be audited….
But Hon. Jimmy Wanjigi donated 850/= million ksh during President. WSR campaign in 2022 and he endorsed him @ Kasarani.
Alafu hajapata cs now he's bitter🤣
So what? What Ruto promised and what he is delivering are different. So it is Ruto who has shifted away from his pledges.
@georgeodhiambo598 Do you know that Hon.President, Hon.Baba and Hon. Jimmy are Sold Friend's so relax bro.
@@brianfury254sasa wewe na akili yako Jimi anaezatafuta CS?
@@georgeodhiambo598 hapa ni Africa Kenya 🇰🇪 take 50,100 or 200 give me your vote Teseka 5 year's.
If I were president the first thing i would do is carry out a forensic audit at the treasury. the govt wants to finance housing why don't they do a forensic audit on treasury to find out where every shilling is going. Time and time again the auditor general and controller of budget the only patriotic Kenyans in govt who constantly report the massive looting of govt resources starting with treasury payouts like the recent 67b payments made to non existent pensioners and other ailments with this dept, and god knows what else the treasury is illegally paying out, may be the govt could fund its housing and NSSF programs by just sealing these loopholes and holding civil servants accountable for theft of tax payers money.
One can easily come up with over a trillion in illegal payments by treasury enough to fund housing, NSSF and free secondary education. Plus with ongoing cuts in wastage and digitization of services, kenya would be able to offer its citizens services that the govt would not even have to burden Kenyans with taxation. Corruption is the biggest tax on Kenyans.
The govt needs to fund a special purpose team ( just like the one they created for pending bills led by Ouko) drawn from the auditor general and controller of budget, audit entire govt depts. No need to waste funds on a different audit firm the auditor general and controller of budget have proven they have the capacity to do the job. The team can hire local audit firms for support like the organization of accountants and such like bodies to carry out a thorough audit of treasury payments and uncover the billions of illegal payments.
Jimmy Wanjigi must be part of the solution. The government should take advantage of its indigenous human resources. We must decide whether to sacrifice a few people to save the Kenyan economy or to sacrifice the country's economy to save a few people from the consequences of their actions or inactions.
What are you having an issue with? Point out the factual error in his statement. Or are you afraid of the truth?
@@georgeodhiambo598 listen to the video before you ask silly questions
@@africanqueenmo I have listened to it and I am asking you what in his responses are you having an issue with? Are you scared of the truth? What are you afraid of?
@@georgeodhiambo598 Did you hear Jimmy say that he's not asking to be called by government to help resolve the debt crisis issue? I'm saying the government needs his expertise and he must be called to serve in that capacity so what do you imagine that I'm afraid of? What truth?
@@africanqueenmo You are contradicting yourself. He said he is not asking to be called. In other words, he is not seeking to be called. Or, in brief, hatafuti kazi! That's not the same thing as saying that, he will not heed the Govt's request if he is called upon to assist.
But then, and this is my own thinking, he might also be wise and choose not to join hands with a Govt that might only make him dirty.
If you are old enough or if you have read about Moi's Dream Team, then you might understand what I am talking. The Dream Team of 4 (or were they 5?) were stars in their own right and joined the Govt, on the behest of, and funding by World Bank. They joined with great energy and expectation, hoping to help turn things around. Within a few short years they left the Govt in a huff, with themselves having been turned around and their CVs completely messed up. Strong systems downgrade even the best of people.
If I were Jimmy Wanjigi, I would never think of joining this Govt.
If kenyans don't act very fast to what wanjigi is saying we will all suffer as fools
Does this mean that they will tax the bond holders?
When value of shillings goes low, what bond holders get out will be far less than what they put in (in terms of value) so in essence they will be at loss
What would make what the gentleman Wanjigi says is to connect this to the role white supremacy institutions play to create and enable this situation
kenya lazima kitarudiwa tena tuanze mwanzo.
our grandparents were deceived, our parents tricked.
haki ya nani hawatafanya hio ujinga na sisi
How much debts in total ? how much has been repaid for the last 1 year? Why is the borrowing Still going on? All developments stopped , subsidies over taxation and wastage in billions. . Debt Song is a coverup to steal. The Government should be open to the public like in developed countries where the citizens are informed. Thete is no secrecy because the economy affects all..Concerned kenyan from Europe where Systems work for all. Period
