the problem with d kenyans is that they believe rvp so much that they lose their sense of reasoning. The guy has abruptly shattered their mind.... anything contradicting rvp is seen is vague.
cheesy Bro,remember the popular adage about the land of the blind. The one eyed man is king.

I am still waiting for rvp to disprove me on their agriculture sector. He has been circling around for two days now with no meaningful answer. They have lied to the world for far too long but the reality on ground is beginning to expose them.

Still on Kenya agriculture.
They claim to produce horticultural produce worth $3bn last year. Let's leave it at that for now.So we have:
Horticulture..$3bn
Milk. $1.4bn
Tea. $1bn
Coffee. $100million
$5.5bn so far. grin

Remember, agriculture is about 25%of Kenya's GDP. We are progressing at a clipping pace.Hang on,folks.

That's too sad. That SGR is a debt trap.
I think corruption is their biggest problem. A third of the budget gets stolen every year.It's a problem in Nigeria too.I mean it doesn't make sense but Kenya's own is out of this world. Their boys here know the truth but would rather insult others and hide their own problems.

When you're serious let me know.I will let you heckle a little bit.I already did this a year a go...sector to sector.Kenya total gov revenues are more than 20B... annually and you think that comes from which economy.

Very good questions.Some reasons are..


1.Land ownerships.
Most lands in Kenya is under big boys. These are politicians, white folks and some big businesses men who are connected to the elites

2.Rural neglects
Kenyan gov for ages have neglected most parts of rural areas. These caused a lot of folks to migrate from northern Kenya and stuck in cities without any means of surviving

3.Capitalism
I think they applied capitalism to the extreme. The Kenyan gov should have interfered in land prices especially in some areas of urban areas to make it affordable to most Kenyans who are generally poor.But,to my surprise, many Kenyans takes pride when a plot of land in Nairobi costs more than Dar

4.Poverty.When u digest all the above, the bottom line is Kenyans are too poor to get out of slums

You don't have SGR so stop lying. There is a railway to Uganda already. We don't have to fully find the SGR to Uganda, past Naivasha all the cargo is destined for Uganda, DRC and northern Tanzania. It's cheaper to ship things to Tanzania through Kenya than using rotting infrastructure or lack of it in Tanzania. You and Uganda will pay for the SGR extension. wink

Keep lying to yourself. So your revenues jumped from $14bn in 2017/2018 session to more than $20bn a year later. For your information, revenues are currently on a downward trend in Kenyatta's backyard.
Of the KSh1.44 trillion that the
government expects to collect as
revenue by the end of the 2017/18
financial year, the article adds, almost
half — KSh658.2 billion — will go
towards repayment of loans and short-
term debts, making this the single
largest expenditure.

You don't even know what revenue stand for. KRA collects taxes amounting to around Kshs1.6 trillion (16B) this year (financial year just ended last week) -last year we did 1.5 trillion(15B). Gov also collects another 2-3B dollars from A-I-A(Appropriation in Aid ) - you know licenses, fees, court fines and the works - from both national and county govs. Total 20B.

http://www.treasury.go.ke/component/jdownloads/send/203-budget-policy-statement/1348-2019-budget-policy-statement.html?option=com_jdownloads

212. In the FY 2019/20 revenue collection including Appropriation-in-Aid(A.i.A) is projected to increase to Ksh 2,080.9 billion (18.3 percent of GDP) up from Ksh 1,831.5 billion (18.3 percent of GDP) in the FY 2018/19 (Annex Tables2 and 3). This revenue performance will be underpinned by on-going reforms intax policy and revenue administration.

Ordinary revenues will amount to Ksh1,877.2 billion (16.5 percent of GDP) in FY 2019/20 up from Ksh 1,651.5 billion
(16.5 percent of GDP) in FY 2018/19.


Countries of Kenya profile typically have around 17-20% of revenue/GDP (middle income countries like RSA have 25% plus revenue to gdp). Nigeria obviously is cooked because they have 6% revenue to GDP - you can see it's cooked nearly 3 times!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_revenue_to_GDP_ratio

If you want to know a country that cooks it's data - there are SO MANY data points you can use to verify.

You cannot claim for example to be 400B dollar economy - and have a gov budget & expenditure similar to Kenya (100B) economy. Show me any other country that has your tiny budget smiley - Algeria are nearly 100B dollars budget with South Africa and Egypts.

If you claim kenya's GDP is 50B or 40B - then kenya govs has taken 50% from the economy smiley - which would be crazy - because kenya tax rate is max 30% (Income) & (VAT 16%) for the formal sector only.

though, not a fan of Wikipedia... but if u're really intelligent as u portray to ur fellow kenyans, u would have seen that most oil producing nations have a low tax-to-gdp rate.

Oman is doing 2%, Saudi Arabia is doing 5.3%, Qatar is doing 2% and even UAE is doing 1.4%.

Is UAE and Saudi Arabia with Qatar gdp also cooked?

We did this same analysis - last year April 2018 - with forgiveness - before he went quiet.

rvp20182:
The next sector in our Farming activities.

2) TEA - GDP worth 1.5-2B dollars. We produce more than 2 billion kilos of tea leaves and around 500M metric tonnes of black processed Tea. A kilo of processed tea is 3 dollars * 500 metric tonnes...should give you the figure.

Kenya is global export leader of black tea. In production it's second only to China and India. We produce more than 2 billion kilos of tea leaves and around 500M metric tonnes of black processed Tea.

Mombasa Tea Auction is the world largest tea auction - with tea from as far as Malawi & Congo being sold there. Kenya is known for producing highest quality of tea - Lipton Tea/Uniliver Tea - if you've drank tea - Chance are it was from Kenya. Esp if it's high quality..hand-picked kenyan tea.

Tea farms..plantantion and small holders.


Some of biggest companies here include[b] UNILIVER TEA, JAMES FINLAY, TATA[/b] owning huge plantations and KTDA - the smallholder tea company.

Now KTDA supports 500,000 Small-holder farmers and is AFRICA MODEL SMALL HOLDING Company. It pays annually nearly 1B dollars to farmers.

And their GDP is entirely Oil. They don't claim to also have 100B (6th world largest) agriculture. They don't claim to be manufacturing hubs. They don't claim to have 400B sectors - where oil production is less than 10% smiley - but accounts for 95% of gov rev.

That is our problem - where is this huge sector that don't pay taxes. Middle East Oil nations have nothing outside their cities. They GDP/tax and everything is OIL OIL OIL.

Nigeria OIL sector is worth maybe 60-80B dollars - 2m barrels a day at 60 dollars*365 - and that is where gov get's it resources - and then rest as our data indicates MASS POVERTY INFORMAL SECTOR.
