    Great & Informative Interview! We need accountability from those responsible to explain this massive heist of funds…Uhuru is on record saying we lose 2 Billion a day to corruption in Kenya. No wonder we are in such a mess today.

    If the Eurobond was for the SGR, then why are the Chinese claiming that we owe them money for this Rail Road? Why are they holding the port of Mombasa as collateral? Am I missing something here?

    Dr Kamau breaks down these economic jargon loved by bureaucrats to very clear and simple language.
    Bottomline; GoK is a hopelessly bad manager of our taxes.
    The railway development levy was supposed to repay sgr loans. To date, GoK has collected over 300B but nobody knows where it went or how it was used.
    Same for the petroleum development levy.

      This summarizes it, scary times ahead. The rich have started hoarding money (dollars) in their houses hence the shortage. They can see what is coming.

    Foreigners are now running away from Kenya, which is very damning to the Ruto government and a demonstration of lack of confidence in the country.
    I doubt there'll be much interest in the infrastructure bond, mainly because of the trust deficit in this government.
    The three main banks have been downgraded, which signals they're a big risk to buy; their shares will come tumbling down. Will they close shop? Only time will tell. But the three main banks hold 24.5 trillion, which means each of the banks holds at least 800bn worth of government bonds. That's a lot of money which is at the risk of being lost.
    It's instructive that the KCB group has lost 26% of its value from January to June 2023, and the future prospects are not good at all. Notably KCB group is worth

      You are right. Bonds default, pensions and salariy cuts are the next shoe to drop. Smart money is leaving Kenya in droves. Africa Oil Corp (Lundin Group) and Total have abandoned the Turkana Oil project. Dark clouds are forming. The vultures are waiting.

    The painfull thing is that in 2014 when the SGR Eurobond was being taken we had economic advisors for the presidency which the current president was part and also parliamentary committee with experts on economics and financial matters who approved all these things. I can conclude that these individuals usually consider first what is in for them at the expense of the 50 million kenyans and generations to come. Right now the same people are playing blame games for the Uhuru regime pulling in handshake yet they were part of the same government for the longest time.

    It seems like we are going round and round in circles borrowing from Peter to settle Paul. Why don't we ask those who stole from us to return at least three quarters of the amount and keep a quarter of the stolen amount to themselves. This should start with our president showing the way so that he can have the moral say asking previous leaders and principals including thieves he has recycled into his administration to do the right thing for poor Kenyans. We need help
