You have another chance to throw ruto out in 2027 or vote him again. Same goes for Nigeria

Somebody has an answer for you!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0btCvFJbmFY&t=26s

EKONGKING:
As a Nigerian living in India for past 25 years ,

I can offer insights into Adani group of companies .

Adani knows the mumu button of all indian politicians and parties of whatever ideologies ,like Dangote . He is very close to ruling party of India and it also explain his meteoric rise . He controls majority of new Ports and Airports in India .

A case in point is in South western state of Kerala which is ruled by communists, a very ideological opponent of right wing party of Modi and who shouts Adani this and that, like Kenyans are doing now , The end result is the communist government opened fire on protestors and killing them and handing over the project for Adani to complete .

Adani will build world class ports and aiports and that not a question , But the question is what is after it .

Adani business model is so much similar to the model employed by Chinese companies operating in Africa and Korean Chaebols .

You bribe everyone from Ruling party down to opposition parties including fringe parties .

The only good thing about Adani,Chinese,korean batch is they spend 50 dollars and extract 100 dollars and Infrastructure will be build , Unlike western influenced batch like Dangote,Chagoury etc ,who will build for 10 dollars and extract 100 dollars in the process .

Whichever way you look the corruption is on .

You have no clue anything in the Kenyan case. Adani wants to take over an already operating and highly profitable airport with the promise of expanding it. The fact that you group Adani/China with Korean companies tells me you are very shallow. Koreans operate above board. Their overseas investments are upfront. They are doing a university at Konza City with zero issues. The Chinese give you loans but they dont follow all laid down procedures, eg they give you a loan and the assurance from you is that the contract will be awarded to a chinese company - no competitive bidding. In many cases Chinese terms albeit laced with corruption can be agreeable least because they build brand new infrastructure on empty land with their money, all you have to do is wait for them to finish and start enjoying their worldclass infrastructure as you pay through the nose.

Now coming to Adani, Adani gives you ZERO loans, they bring no money but want to take over your critical assets and revenues and since they know that what they do is illegal and against the law, they bribe all government functionaries heftily, if they can they will even bribe even the courts. In the Kenyan case they could not bribe the courts so their deal was quashed. JKIA/KAA makes up to 20 B Kshs a year, more than enough to give itself an upgrade of its choice without external input. Adani wants unfettered access to all of the airport’s cash flows - predictably - and this is where Ruto - the professor of grand larceny- comes in because he is eyeing the money the airport makes.

Ordinarily, the project operator should only have access to cash flows generated by the new project – i.e whatever the hell Adani claims they want to build. They should not be collecting money from an asset/investment that they found operating. Its actually robbery without violence. You can imagine if I found you operating your business and told you I will take it over from you fully, give you nothing in return at the moment of taking it over, use the business's profits to expand it (this is profits you were already making but I somehow assume you dont know how to spend it to expand), operate and eat the profit for 30 years and all this time you cannot eat a penny from even your initially existing business. And after that I will own 18 % for eternity. Only idiots dont see an issue with that.

The proposal also showed that the proposed renovation of the existing terminal buildings was to be financed from money generated from the airport’s existing operations. Let that sink in. Adani is simply taking over JKIA as operators while the existing JKIA builds itself anew through the revenue it makes annually. Remember what I just told you up there, that JKIA makes enough money to expand itself. The renovations should therefore be undertaken by Kenya Airports Authority! On top of that they want a tax holiday of up to 10 years! Are you hearing this madness? Only monkeys like Ruto think this is a fair deal. But he is not a monkey he knows what exactly he is doing. The unsophisticated thief is using Adani to make JKIA and other profitable national assets his personal wealth with Adani as the front. These are the same idiots who gave him a free luxury jet ride to fly to the US before the finance bill - we later learned. We live in Kenya my friend, someone who lives in India would have zero clues whats going on here. Immediately these idiots took office they started switching off power countrywide to justify the need for an ''investor'', who also happens to be Adani. They then started switching off power at the main airport and refusing to power the standby generators - again this was meant to justify to Kenyans the need to sell the airport to who Adani ofcourse! The healthcare sector has been utterly torn to shreds to justify, ONCE AGAIN, the need for ''foreign'' investors to invest in the national insurance system ,,, to who again?? Adani!!!

Everything Ruto found working has been or is in the process of being destroyed systematically to justify the need for one man in India to come in and SAVE it. Calm down dude. We are not idiots like Ruto and his bunch of Indian coolies thinks. I warned Kenyans against electing someone with the moral values of a feral feline. You can now see how you can impoverish yourselves in a single presidency through imbecilic choices. I also need to tell you that in Kenya we learned the hard way that if you wait too long, you will not be in a position to save your country later because 1) there will be no country to save , 2) you will be too pre-occupied with manufactured problems to save yourself e.g constantly no power, deplorable healthcare system, failed education system, biting poverty etc. 3) the people who impoverish you will never exit the system, they will always be in power pretending to be busy trying to help you but its all a charade, they actually know what they did and need it to remain that way atleast untill they die.

As a Nigerian living in India, you can consider what we are doing to be noise but we actually know why we are doing all that we are doing to send this garbage government home as soon as possible. I'm well aware in Nigeria it is not your forte to bother with the govt, most likely because you gave up a long time ago because you ignored telltale signs of state capture and now even powering a single light bulb at home is rocket science. Dangote, a product of state capture, spent billions to build a refinery only to realize that the oil barons in Nigeria are more powerful than the drug cartels in Colombia. Please dude, let us fix this mess without undue influence from people we know from evidence are totally incapable as a country of taking destiny in their own hands.

superb bro

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice! Ruto grabbed 1,643 acres worth Sh13 billion in Nairobi when he was deputy president. It was among the issues that caused a serious falling out between him and his former boss, Uhuru Kenyatta. Uhuru repossessed the land then for the government, but when Ruto took power he reversed the decision to reward himself the land. He thought power was enough! Turns out it wasnt. Yesterday, two years after he took office, the courts told him to STFU!
Keep your eyes on the ball. The despot will wiggle and wobble and eventually end up in jail.

Today Ruto attended a virtually empty church filled with a few loyalists who cant humiliate him with chants of Ruto must Go.

This week across the country the chants heightened from townhalls to universities and night clubs. Everywhere the call is one.

The bickering here between Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana etc about which country is best, isn’t helpful. The painful truth is that Africa is seriously lagging behind the rest of the world.

In the past, Europe was the top dog, before North America joined them. Some Latin American countries like Argentina also became successful and Australia completed the exclusive list.

Asia and Africa were dirt-poor but today, Asia is advancing rapidly and building modern infrastructure that puts both America and Europe to shame. I have traversed several Asian countries, covering their tourist destinations in my YouTube channel and it pains me that Africa could do better yet we are so behind.

You can’t find open gutters in Asian villages talk more of their cities, but open gutters are common all over African cities. Majority of pictures that comes from Africa are always showing dusty villages and towns. But in Asia, you won’t see red earth, it’s either covered with tiles or lawns.

Whats the difference between SE Asian shytholes like Myanmar, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, and Laos and African countries like CAR, Swaziland, Congo, Niger, Togo, and Somalia?

Significant differences my brother. With the exception of perhaps Myanmar, the others doing a lot better in having more livable villages, towns and cities.

Even India that is globally infamous for being dirty and disorganized, doesn’t look as dusty as African towns and villages. The main issue is that we in SSA don’t see any problem in having dusty looking villages and towns. It’s not like we can’t afford to change it if we really want. My prayer is for Africa to get better so that Blacks rating will improve too.

I think everyone is trying in their own way. Dust in many parts of Africa is a result of Sahara and dry conditions, something you wont find in SE Asia with their rainforests and mangroves. But some SE Asian countries are as shytholic as any African country if not worse. Asia as a whole has the rich, middle, and poor countries. Rich include Japan, S. Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia, middle include Philipines, Indonesia, India and so forth, then the poor are countries like Laos that have become mini-colonies of the Chinese, Burma with the unending ethnic wars, Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge still looks like an apocalyptic super farm. The countries that have failed Africa the most are the ones who were promising in the past, read Nigeria, Ghana, SA, Kenya etc. These are countries that should by now be in the leagues of S. Korea. But they are definitely better than the worst in Asia by far! But there are definitely somewhat success stories in Africa too, countries that rose from the dust so to speak, such as Rwanda after the genocide has put its act together, Botswana has managed to improve itself through proper resource management, Namibia too, and the island nations of Mauritius, Seychelles, and Cape Verde. Africans need to do more though, no doubt.!

There was once a very vocal Tanzanian guy who used to roam these streets. He went silent like the infamous RIP and Kikuyu1 after realizing the magnitude of their blunders in the 2022 elections. But hear me out, I consider no model to be superior, but at this exact moment the Tanzanian government is giving Tanzanians hell after selling a port to Adani unprocedurally (ofcourse!) and raising taxes. Same issues were happening in Kenya, opposite outcomes. Kenyans firmly said no to the stupid taxes and refused the Adani nonsense. No one is speaking in Tanzania unless they are singing praises for that woman president. Those who dare speak, and these are big politicians, are being found dead and doused in acid. At the same time, in the exact same circumstances, Kenyans are driving their govt nuts and forcing the president to hide and move around like a fugitive in his own country. I strongly suspect its times like these that our Tanzanian bros realize the value of being vocal and raging against govt vs remaining passive. African politicians can literally poo on your heads and proceed to demand praises from you for a job well done.

Before the war in Myanmar, Kenya hosted the two largest refugee camps in the world, Kakuma and Dadaab. They are so big they are effectively among the top 10 largest cities in the country by population with each camp hosting over 250 K people. The total number of registered refugees and asylum seekers in Kenya is over half a million. Compared with the previous years, there is an increase in the total population of refugees, mainly because of new arrivals from South Sudan, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia and Somalia. As of 31 January 2023, Dadaab Refugee Camp population stood at 339,108 individuals (70,766 households). Of these, 233,828 individuals (45,338 households) are registered/documented. A total of 105,280 individuals (25,428 households) were profiled awaiting registration by the Department of Refugee Services (DRS).

You hit the nail on the head. Without fighting corruption all efforts are futile. We told Ruto to fight corruption first before asking for more money. What he has actually done is entrenched it and multiplied it tenfold. Even the Adani nonsense he is supporting is a product of corruption.

The reforms Ruto to set to undertake are all now completed - I mean the legal framework is pretty much done - and so are bearing fruits already.

Ruto sat down with 3000 expert before elections and developed a PLAN - manifesto - that identified realistic winnable things - we dropped usual manufacturing, bla bla - settle down on fix macro-economic (debt crisis), agriculture, housing, healthcare, helping SMES and finally labour export.

1) Macro-economics - Brink of bankruptcy, inflation at double digit (10%), interest rate (base) at 17%, KES rose to 160 to a dollar - now almost all these been sorted - debt repaid (eurobond), interest rate down to 12%, inflation is 3.6%!!!, KES dropped to 127 - forex is growing.
2)Agriculture - we were importing lots of food from the region and food was becoming expensive - Ruto set up fertilizer subsidiy baked by electronic voucher - we saw maize prod (important staple) move from 30M bags to 47M bags - last year - Ruto had 5m farmers - now its 7.5M farmers - maize and food inflation is already bottom. Maize a bag was 7000kshs - now even 1500KES - and maize is important staple in East and Southern Africa.
Things like sugar - we are for 1st having surplus - and exporting.
Oil crops - we are seeing light at end of tunnel - we import almost 3B.

Nobody in kenya is now crying about hunger and poverty.

3) Helping SMES - we have Hustler Fund on running largely online - without human interventions.

4) Improving revenues - we seen huge jump from 2 trillion to almost 3 trillion (all revenues) - with e-citizen gov online services from 350 such services to now almost 15,000 gov services - almost every gov service is now availanble online. E-citizen revenue jumped from 20B kes to 120B.
5) Housing Levy - Building 1M houses and eliminating slums. On course. Legal framework and court battled finished. Kenyans now contribute 2.75% of their income for housing levy.
6) Healthcare - this final - we had NHIF we have tried to reform to be Social Health Insurance. NHIF had 7M kenyans - with 3M in formal employment - and 4m in non formal employment. This in country with 20-25M adults. There was financing gap of 150B kes - that people pay out pocket. There is a lot of fundraising for healthcare by families, selling of assets and poverty around sickness.

Now finally got Social Health Insurance with UNIVERSAL health coverage - that mean EVERYONE In KENYA will have health insurance - 1st week we have 12.5M kenyas. By 2nd of the year that number with 25M.

7) Infrastracture - to avoid debt financing - Ruto plan is to use PPP - this where Adanis and others come in - we will soon get Mombasa to Malaba - 1,000 kms of expressway - we will also complete SGR from Naivasha to Malaba - 500Kms - those two are BIG Infrastracture ticket - that dwarf anything done by previous regime.

LABOUR export - we are seeing 20% remittance growth - I think we have now overtaken Ghana to become 2nd to Nigeria in remittance in SSA. We are exporting 1,000 kenyans every week and number should peak to 3,000 - we are signing labour agreement - and have made it policy to export as many kenyans as possible.


We are not going to theories like manufacturing, reduce corruptions, bla bla. This PLAN is well thought out exercise that went through all those kind of usual stuff and settled on those areas.

Finally there is minimal corruption in kenya because the country has been broke and almost bankrupt - with little development project - you cannot steal recurrent budget - salaries - and debt repyament.

Why are middle class in kenya ANGRY - simple PAINFUL reforms that mean raiding their pockets in revenues growth, taxes, 2.75% in housing levy, 2.75% in health insurance and eventually they said ENOUGH.

I think going forward we wont have much tax raises - on the little middle class (salaried formally employed are 3m) - but will now focus on 16M informal sector who dont pay taxes.

So expect more revenue growth from informal sector - and the potential here is HUGE - we have almost 2 million kenya business accepting mobile payment - only 200K are paying taxes.

Ruto has no role in fighting corruption. Ruto let the institutions fighting corruption fight corruption. There is little corruption in kenya now because Kenya gov has been so broke - it barely paying it debt (1.8 trillion), salaries(1 trillion) and little recurrent expenditure. Total revenues collected are 2.8 trillion and the debt we have procured is for debt financing (repaying the principal). There is NOTHING to be stolen when you dont see infrastracture or capital projects. Ruto cannot steal salaries or debt repayment - maybe steal toilet papers and reccurent expenditure supplies.

Adani is richest man in Asia and 11st richest man in world. He is a prized investor. The process of PPP in both JKIA and with Ketraco are at infancy - and you idle morons - should let KAA and KETRACO negotiate with Adani - and eventually public participation and approval will be done - if we have good deal.
