You cannot have an IMF bailout every other year and talk about macro-economics.

Get an handle of your interest rate, inflation, and currency - before you dream of developing.

we have a handle of all of that and allow our currency to be flexible to our own advantage.

Your country so badly want to keep it peg to the dollar sending you into massive debts. to IMF and WB
That is not the way to development, hence why you are undeveloped

You cant develop with a hungry population that go into starvation every 6 month and have to rely on WFP for food aid

dont be another North Korea

Good questions. And we have answered here. Btw 1963 to oil crisis of 1980s - kenya economy was growing - from around 5% to high of 10% - we were doing very well..as good as most of the Asian tigers...but equally, we were breeding like rats.

While the economy was growing at South Asia level - per capita was dropping so fast! Everything we built - was not enough - poverty became endemic - urban areas turned into slums - schools were never enough - anything we did - would be under-capacity in few years..

So in the 1980s we basically sunk - the population had grown from 6m to I think 20M...the world fastest population growth...the oil crisis just made things worse...and everything went south for 20yrs.

And we rebooted again in 2003 - and are now on the RIGHT PATH - and now sits proudly as the largest non-mineral economy in SSA - and 3rd biggest at that - just after Nigeria and South Africa.

From 2003 - we have grown our economy nearly 7-8 times - and if we keep up the same pace (everything suggest we will) - we could be looking at being a proper middle by 2030.

You know the one thing that makes me laugh when we Africans are debating on ways we can go forward is that we always give out simple answers to difficult questions. We never sit down and say let us do this now, not for today but for tomorrow, and that is reflected on how we live everyday. I personally hate how we Africans everyday are seeking approval from the west and how we don't do anything right until the west says its right. And that is portrayed even in our governments. The mind set that to be educated you have to know English, while the Germans, the biggest economy in Europe teaches to the university level in German, best Chinese universities teach in Mandarin while the low level one that we black love to send our kids to offer courses in English taught by the teachers that aren't that fluent in the language. I agree with you, IQ is environmentally determined and like everything it has to be well cultivated to see its fruits. Africans like setting up environments for other Africans to fail, deliberately or not. We just grab everything the whites are doing without looking at the underlying consequences to what we do. Africans in Europe don't invest back home (most of them) they just wait until they come back home for vacation to be treated like kings and queens. While if they invested, their investment would grow as local lives keep on improving, but do we ever thing of this no, and when someone does and decides to invest the locals and relative rob him/her dry not realising the long term effect it has to the community. but oh! well what do i know....

You wrote everything in my and i couldn't agree more. The worst thing is that alot of Africans wont see anything wrong with the things you just wrote and will instead fight you to maintain the current situation. You know the thing is that the african diaspora are some of the most brilliants minds from Africa, these are the ones who have the IQ to transform Africa if they wanted to.... But as someone told me, these diasporans are the most traitorous to Africa at the same time because while they have the ability to transform the continent, they refuse to take the responsibility upon themselves and rather live in the west working under europeans and being average. Cant tell you anything more that you dont already know....

You cant say you were doing very well when your infrastructure looks like shit.
And your breeding is not the problem to your underdevelopment compare to them.

The simple answer is, your economy was design to serve the Europeans and since independence, you have not changed it.

Your economy was not developed and integrated into the global market and hence cant blame oil crisis because it didn't even affect you.

In Asia, they change their economic model to one that serve themselves first before any other.

Hence most Asian countries were producing what they eat and need so they don't become the dumping ground for others.
The opposite is the case for kenya

Kenya produces what it doesn't eat and import what it eat
You cant grow by being the dumping ground for others hence running a huge trade deficit


South Korea did not practise Capitalism until recently
It was a closed economy runner on the basis of a kleptocracy supported by the government.

Nope. Ghana filed for bankruptcy in 1965 - and chased away Kwame Nkurumah to Guinea.

By the early 1980s, Ghana's economy was in an advanced state of collapse. Per capita gross domestic product ( GDP) showed negative growth throughout the 1960s and fell by 3.2 percent per year from 1970 to 1981. ... Inflation averaged more than 50 percent a year between 1976 and 1981, hitting 116.5 percent in 1981

Yes because we used our money to get you out of maltreatment and helped set up government institutions for you.

Ghana experienced a drought in the 1980s that led to an economic collapse but also brought up the productive capacity of Ghanaians

Hence why we experienced the most dramatic economics turnaround the world has ever seen in the 1990s

Not everybody was growing - Ghana after British left - were declared bankrupt in 1964 - and haven't really recovered.

The economic growth record of Ghana has been one of unevenness, as Figure 1 clearly indicates.With a reasonably high GDP growth in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Ghanaian economybegan to experience a slowdown in economic growth in 1964. Growth was turbulent during much of the period after the mid-1960s and only began to stabilize by 1984. In1966, 1972, 1975-1976, 1979, 1981-1983, the growth rate was actually negative

Don't blame drought of 1980s- you became bankrupt in the 1960s - and don't blame Africa's independence - you became broke so broke - because you choose COMMUNISM. You were swiftly taken to the IMF school of hard economics and I don't see you graduating soon. You still don't have a handle on key macro-economics - inflation, currency stability, interest rates, debt, etc etc.

Ghana had the most successful transformation of it Agriculture sector in the 1960s leading to the 70s

When you abandoned capitalism and went to communism like Tanzania - you were just kaput. Tanzania filled for bankruptcy in 1985. They survived longer - but you were kaput so fast - 1965.

you are really dumb
Ghana was a NONE aligned nation
so how did we choose Communism?

Do you even know what communism is ?

The fact is, after 30 years turbulence in Ghana, Ghana came out with a more self-reliant economy that successfully reduced it dependent on the world by reducing it import and allowing it economy to grow from Agric to manufacturing.

Now those manufacturing companies have expanded greatly and leading Ghana into the global market (a growing trade surplus).

Kenya in the same period turn into a country that gets bankrupt every year and runs to the IMF and WB for budgetary support to finance recurrent expenditure that has led to most Kenyans being unemployed and extremely poor.

Even up to today, Kenya hasn't learnt a thing to change the colonial structures left behind
Your politicians went on to continue what the Europeans left behind.

THE police is there to serve the citizens and not beat them and murder them on the street for nothing like the Europeans used to do.
Change KPF to KPS to help change the mind set.

Take back all the ill gotten lands that your politicians are holding in the two monarchy families in trust for the Europeans as a pay to play rub my palm system so that your citizens can participate in an economic model that serves them.

Kwame Nkurumah dragged you to communism. You became broke by the early 1960s - and eventually, you overthrew Kwame while on his visit to China and Russia - and swiftly invited IMF - and started painful reforms. Unfortunately, you're going into 17 bailouts. A record.

Kenya is not at your level - stop dragging her - into your funny business. We are not in any IMF bailout. We have some most stable macro-economics. I know you think trade deficit is a problem - it isn't. Our currency is stable.

Kwame Nkrumah was not a Communist

So how did Kenya end up the country most indebted to IMF and WB
in it various structure adjustment projects and poverty alleviation projects that ended up making most kenyans poor, starving and unemployed?

I thought I explained. 60s and 70s we are growing. We got a small problem in mid-70s thanks to Oil crisis but the 1980s oil crisis took us down - and more than that - our demography - made all the growth nonsense - we were still breeding in 1980s - population reached about 30m in 1980s - most households had on average 8-10 kids.

All that was "good" - still growing at 4% with population growth at 4% - until 1993 - hell broke loose - the American and Europeans together with IMF/WB canceled their Aid (our budge then was 50% or more from donors) after election violence and human rights violation by Moi - there was also a run on the central bank by Moi and cronies -

And so first time ever we felt like Ghanians (how do you people manage this). Inflation in 1993 basically shoots through the roof. Kshs dropped from 20 to a dollar to 50 then finally 60. Interest rates go to 30%. Name it. . Can you imagine KShs is still at around 100shs to a dollar now...while you CEDIS has gone haywire it's been demonetized and is now also going haywire?

Moi run to IMF on all our fours - and they release the funds - the economy got better - Moi got back to his old bad ways - the donors suspended AID - MOi run back to IMF and donors - they release the funds - economy got better - Moi got back is old bad ways. Eventually in 1997 a defeated and sly Moi told IMF to pick their men as top government officials to oversee gov retrenchment of civil services.

IMF swiftly picked a white Kenyan and his "dream team" for us. We had truly SUNK. Richard Leakey became the head of civil service and cabinet secretary. IMF was officially running kenya.



Anyway eventually by late 90s - even Moi himself was tired with stop - and - go stalemate with IMF, WB and donors - and he started weaning kenya of donor funding - we started reforming banks - reforming central banks - started issuing domestic debt instruments (tbill, name it).

But economy was still sick - zero FDI - kenyans escaping abroad like Ghanians and Nigerian still do - The only positive - many kenya companies starting investing regionally - because Uganda, Tanzania and etc were growing at 7-10% - while we were very economically sick.

2002 is I think when we officially got into a recession for the first and last time ever - and "grew" or contracted by -1.7%. We had hit rock bottom. That gave us a new political revolution..MOI HAD TO GO.

And in 2003 - we ushered a new regime - we go back into good books of donors (who by then we didn't need) and investors - and more importantly kenyans started to invest again - started to have trust again on the system.

listen Mr idiot, Nkrumah practice different ideology. right from its own Nkrumahism to socialism and then to communism . All available option of development were taken by the most exceptional leader of Africa, which by today can only be comparable to Singapore lee Khuan yew..

Nkrumah was overthrown by CIA and some Ghanaian clique who hate political and economic freedom of Ghanaian. it is common sense .every country aim is to achieved economic independence and build wealth out of its endowed natural and human resources.know This today, Educational and healthcare policies under Nkrumah were far ahead of the current UN mandated Mellenium Goals . Nkrumah's vision of CONSCIENCISM was meant to liberate Ghana and Africa to end Anglo-American-Franco-Zionist racist domination. Get yourself a time to go read books written by Nkrumah himself.

You are slowpoke and mentally retarded.
