    Most Kenyans have never had enough money to "budget." Most of us lurch from financial crisis to financial crisis relying on wellwishers to fill the gap (or alcohol to design an illusion.) The country runs the same way!

    Kenya's economy is in ICU. A good case study which we can learn from Georgia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Chile and South Korea economies tightened their fiscal policies and technology advancements for the greater good.

    Kudos to Ramah Nyang for his down to earth explanation of this cashcow called Kenya. I think he should be a member of Mbadi's (if he gets the CS job) think-tank group. He knows what he is saying.

      I second that. If we recover the stolen money we will be able to pay off our legal debts with interest and have enough to subsidize electricity so we can encourage investment in local manufacturing.

      It's weird how Kenya's total debt is like 11 trillion shillings and we pay like 1 trillion in debt repayment since 2 yrs ago but still our debt grows ......in a normal world in 5 yrs our debt should be halfed and manageable as every year we increase money paid to debt by 2 to 3 hundred billion a year......I'm just sick

    Imagine how much employment could be generated if we put 3Tn (100 Thika Roads) a year into public sanitation, drainage, waterworks, roads, street lighting, building schools, building hospitals and investing in basic welfare (food, shelter & clothing allowance)? The country would begin to look resplendent, the people would have the basics for life and the economy would boom like no one's business! It's not hard to fix Kenya, if your intentions are pure. They are not cutting motorcades and lots of state houses, luxury travel, buying flowers for 25M etc. but they want to cut important things like education. What manner of madness is that? Can they not tell the difference between mission-critical and superfluous spending? Maximum public sector pay should be capped at 3X GDP per capita per month. $4500. That's more than 99% of Kenyans make.

    Once upon a time I heard, numbers don't lie. Data doesn't lie. Not true. Data can be used to tell a story or to push a certain perspective or buy-in or whatever.
    One has to understand the reliability of the data, the assumptions, the principles etc inorder to make a certain conclusion.
    So, what do the numbers tell.....nothing, something, anything and everything. It depends on what you know, what you are looking for and how it's presented. Context is everything.

    Is it stew peedity or is something wrong with some of these shows that purport to bring professionals to these discussions. What is so hard to ask is who the beneficiaries of projects like SHIF and affordable housing are. Who is getting the tenders for cement and all other inputs, and at what price. This would explain why these projects are being pushed through down our throats.
