Kenya is doing well...extremely well Negative propaganda based on lies cannot be sustained. NHIF since 1965 - never went beyond 7.5M members SHIF in 2 months - has registered 15M members - twice And registration is ongoing.
By 2027 almost every kenyans will have health cover - possibly 1st in Africa.
The system issues are disappointing - but lot of misinformation. Last year health ministry gave out 5B contract to build initial system This one being rolled out - long overdue health systems
Phase 2 is 10yrs deal with Safaricom for 105B - about 10B annually - this will be main ADMIN cost of the fund We expect more than 100 millions hospitilisation per annum and claims.
He is a slowpoke - we have never since this kind of inflation - the last 17 years!
And Ruto is getting started
Inflation drops to 17-year low on falling food and fuel prices
Obaaderemi2: @rvp2018, this guy has said a lot. He thinks your low inflation doesn't deserve much of a celebration because inflation is habitually low in Kenya. What are your thoughts?
Exactly! Imagine all the foolish dragging he has taken us through, the endless fights, demos, etc from Finance Bill to Adani deals just because he cannot listen to simple advise from anyone. He really owes us a national apology. Thats the least he could do for being an assshole.
She busy torturing and abducting opposition in TZ. Definitely African cant be 3rd world in roads and 1st world in democracy. These things go all together.
gallivant: Most African leaders are thugs if not all. I can't think of any innocent soul at the moment, maybe Suluhu from Tanzania.
Tinubu should keep faith; He has execute very painful reforms that will pay off; He should indeed reduce gov spending for now; and focus on revenue collections; and of course FIX ELECTRICITY - give state powers to fix this - if federal gov.
I agree, I see some progress. For Nigeria, we may still have some complexities and some way to go probably. The biggest problem we have: Too much naira spending in the system chasing a mere $40 Billion gross reserves. Tinubu by ideology, is too expansionist and believes in big Government spending for growth (like I do) but this is conflicting with the needed economic reforms at this time. We need ways to moderate Government spending and the over 107 trillion naira in circulation. But on the positive, Tinubu’s team has done a good job by reducing printing (ways and means) in 2024 compared to 2022 and 2023, and even paid back to the Central Bank the 7 trillion naira printed in 2023.
Kenya economic turnaround nearly complete. - Inflation at 2.7 percent - lowest in 17yrs! - Forex reserves now at 4.6 months - KES stabilized at 130. - Economy expected to grow at modest 5 percent - Gov Revenues grew 25% almost last month - last year revenues grew 11.5% - Interest rate in treasury bills and bonds dropping - Base rate likely to go single digit - now at 12%.
Ruto administration has pulled a very quicky recovery and by April IMF will exit - and the economy will be back to firing on all cylinders.
Must you believe everything you see on the internet? Can you show me where in the CIA reply you deduced he is a CIA asset? Why do we love conspiracy theories this much?
Sicko, Trump will be worse, he doesnt care about dictators. And first president to call him was Ruto. Trump is transactional leader - dealer - win-win. Ruto is also that. They will hit a great rapport.
Obiano13: The entire world is unanimously overjoyed with the election of Trump, no more so than in my country. Only confused elements are not happy. Not because Trump will help us but atleast he will derail many highly unwelcome American overtures in other countries. Good example is the US ambassador to Kenya who has been key in propping up a very unpopular regime erroneously believing they'd beat Trump and sustain their devilish acts. Not here fool. This bitcch even had the audacity to openly visit the electoral body IEBC so that we know who is in charge of coming elections and wear us out with mental fatigue so that their preferred dictator continues. Foolish bastard. These dems tried assassinating Trump and failed miserably when they sensed the coming momentum was unassailable. If they can do that in their country you can imagine what they can do in your country. Wait until Jan when Trump is sworn in she will be the first to be shown the door. Finally after Trump's win the Dems have smelled the coffee and dont want their dirty linen washed in public once sleepy Joe and lyin Kamala leaves office. These bastards have been silent since June and abstained from condemning senseless abductions of fearless youth by the rogue regime. Ruto and his minions are still seeing silhouettes of themselves in jail months later. Recently when all ambassadors from the so-called West signed a petition urging the butcher of Sugoi to stop the abductions and face the music the US ambassador completely refused to sign, obviously seeing no need as Kamala was winning and she would continue being fully behind it as long as their puppet was in power. That birch will be the first to go and the mission in Haiti will not be funded by Trump. Sese Seko's hope is turning the mission into a UN peacekeeping mission. Mofo, you cannot use Kenya's respected status to further private interests while behaving like an absolute a.hole at home. Haitians have seen what Democrats done to Haiti, complicity in assassinating Moïse, installing puppets, sending foreign mercenaries, backing gangs to justify occupation and using Haiti as proxy to get Venezuela. I hope Trump scorches all of US gov, especially the trash CIA. Obama stationed US troops in Somalia in 2014, Trump withdrew them in 2020, and sleepy Joe put them back within 1 year of taking office. These dems are obsessed with meddling.
I've warned people here severally about IMF's goals in Africa. I think those who still dont believe will understand the purpose of IMF in this video by an actual white man who knows what they do more than us. All your poverty is by design, manufactured, and if you keep playing ball to IMF's demands you will just get poorer and poorer ad infinitum! Just look at any country that plays by IMF's self-serving rules and see how surely they descend into absolute poverty. I am very worried for Nigeria because I saw they accepted IMF conditionalities after listening to quack advice from pseudo economics like General Dae and RIP, soon you will be like Ghana. I rem Generaldae refuting the extent of money looted from the Kenyan treasury by foolishly asking me the quantity of Kenyas foreign reserves. These are the types of guys giving you economic advice on how to run your country, similar to Ruto's David Ndii whose economic transformation plan was dimissed by the brilliant Kibaki as a first year econ paper and flashed down the toilet. Just saw a fellow Kenyan posted that two million Ghanaians outrageously apply for Greencard each year. You think shyt like that happens just like that? Its because of the dust the citizens have seen trying to repay those odious debts. Life is unbearable for the majority and the only escape is lefting the country for good at the slightest opportunity. IMF bastards have you where they want. If you ask Ghanaians what the govt did with all the loans they'll tell you they have no idea because they cannot feel it. These bastards wanted us in that mess too, fck them! In Mozambique in 2016, a corruption scandal was uncovered when it was discovered that the Mozambican government had taken out secret loans without parliamentary approval. The loans were given to three state-owned companies by London-based banks, and the money was stolen. The same idiots who stole the money are now refusing to leave power after being roundly beaten in the elections but since they work in cahoots with the west the latter cannot call them out. A debt is considered odious if it was contracted without the consent of the population and not for their benefit, so there is no obligation on you as a citizen to agree to measures of settling that debt, including punitive taxes. All is not lost though, atleast some citizens in Nigeria see through the BS and are ready to call it out for what it is like Hundeyin and co. The guy is rigt btw, if Ruto makes one more blunder after Trump is sworn we will uproot the bastard and jail him!
What is relevances? Indians & Kalenjin and Andani. Get a grip of yourself.
Obiano13: I've come to realize very few Africans actually care about how much looting takes place in their country. Back in the 90s a very infamous Indian thief calling himself a business man came to the limelight in cahoots with Moi's irredeemably corrupt government. He alone looted 10 % of Kenya's GDP then. They looted so much the economy was on its knees. This was a time when every crime could fly. Moi was so evil he would literally jail you if you said the government was corrupt.
Eventually when we kicked Moi out of power, Kamlesh Pattni and all his associate politician thiefs and government officials found themselves in the ropes in court answering to their misdeeds. With no one to protect him, they were faced with the ominous reality of losing every stolen penny and spending his life in prison. Pattni, the flamboyant Indian businessman began to feign all manner of illnesses and beg for mercy. But Kenyans were having none of his shenanigans. You can see here Kenyans confronting him after a court session with all manner of abuses.
Eventually, he lost, leading to the government recovering a multibillion hotel from him, the Grand Regency Hotel, which he had built using the stolen money. But he never paid everything. Later he converted to Christianity and became a pastor to try and soften Kenyans' harsh stance against his shameless theft. I hear now he has emerged somewhere in Zimbabwe where the laws are unimaginably weak and he faces no prospect of justice so he continues with his looting there.
This is the fate that awaits the current crop of thieves led by Ruto and the Indians. They are very busy looting with their Indian friends forgetting that in just a few years MAX they will be powerless and at the mercy of angry Kenyans who wont forgive them by any means. The difference is that this time round they wont get off the hook like Pattni who got away with the larger stash of money.
Cry me a river. When will Luos like you become president so we can say bla de bla Indians>Chinese>Somalis - they have done us good. India is the next China. We should exploit our historical linkages with India.
Tell that to the dogs. The Indians who are into manufacturing are well known and are very few. The Indians that Moi used to loot public resources are the ones I am talking about. The Kamlesh Patttnis and the Kettan Somaia's. These are people who were looting as much as half the economy and helping Moi stash the money overseas in the Cayman Islands like Ruto is doing now with Adani and Jayesh. The problem, and I think I told you this before, is that Kalenjin presidents suffer from an inferiority complex. They resort to sabotaging their fellow black Kenyans and giving all money and power to Indians lately they are also being used by Somalis. Very strange character but we will fix it once and for all. And this time we will jail them.
Fyi, this Jayesh Saini Indian whom Ruto has given the entire healthcare in the country to run with the SHA and SHIF nonsense is responsible for unimaginable theft and outright killingg of innocent Kenyan. Over the last ten years more than 10,000. Teachers have lost their lives due to prolonged procedures aimed at frustrating them, prolonged authorizations for critical treatment and frustrations of cover access. Jayesh makes a return profit of over 50% of premiums. Teachers life cover worth Sh 1.4Bn is handled by Pioneer Insurance owned by Jayesh and Adil claims are not paid to beneficiaries. The consortium of insurance companies to whom the TSC tender was awarded have never received premiums which are instead illegally passed on to Jayesh’s MAKL outfit. Ruto only works with thieves so long as he is promised a cut of the theft. And he likes to steal with Indians like Moi.
There is no difference. People like you who cannot think independently believe everything the government says. The basic fact is the govt is cushioning the oil prices which is the definition of subsidy. The govt was just trying to save face because accepting fuel subsidies would paint Ruto in bad light after all the bravado. You really think we are all low IQ Sudis and Farouks. That article explains everything clearly. You shot yourself in the foot.
Indians didnt rise in 90s. They were rose in 1970s when expelled/restricted from DUkawallas - retail and wholesale - 1967 Africanisation - they went into manufacturing They made huge fortunes in 70s/80s/90s - from manufacturing And of course some joined public procurement and contracting. Now they have been replaced by Chinese And of course Somalis.
Obiano13: Back in the 90s it was usual for the only people to be moneyed in Kenya to be Indians. That was because Moi, in a span of a decade and a half, had taken the entire economy from black Kenyans to disempower them and make them controllable at the height of the clamour for multiparty democracy. He had given everything to Indians and all govt corruption was managed and masterminded by Indians. They were immensely rich up until 2003 when we kicked Moi and his entire cabal out of power. Black people began to rise again after that. Ruto is now smack in the middle of impoverishing Black Kenyans and giving Indians a free run at the economy through bloated tenders and open theft. Kenyans are closing down businesses at an alarming rate. This is a business in Nairobi CBD. Look at what the owner wrote after closing down. This is the case everywhere in the country. Businesses closing down and Ruto promising to export young Kenyans to the middle east as slaves to be left with his Indians. Btw, the word Umbwa is Swahili for Dog.
We pay about 5.4 KES to Fuel Stabilization Fund when we buy fuel
If Fuel prizes rose sharply - in a month - GOV utilize that money - to smooth out the changes
Understand difference btw Fuel Stabilization and Fuel Subsidy.
Obaaderemi2: Wow. Clearly Kenya is still paying fuel subsidies through the backdoor.
This is crazy shit! Even with subsidy you are paying $1.35 for a litre of petrol. That's approximately #2000 naira in Nigeria. We pay 1050 naira for a litre here and its effects are debilitating
What painful reforms has Ruto done? Except borrowing loans and looting? No reform has been done. Ruto beat his chest with fuel subsiday but reinstated it within a few months. There is nothing like reforms, just old economic policies and looting on steroids with the Indians. We will kick Ruto and his Indians back to India within no time.
I dont have time to counter RIP's foolish extensive rants. They talk big but act small, like the man with a small d who moves around claiming to have a big one. Noe of the things he wrote is true, only those who live in Kenya can tell you. Thats why everyone in the country, including in Ruto's own home turf wants him gone yesterday.
I wrote... the reforms are PAINFUL...even Tinubu is taking Nigeria through the PAIN.
The PAIN is middle class - not kenyans in lower class (Ruto Hustler/Poor Nation clients)...have had to dig into their pockets to improve revenues by 1 trillion in 2yrs...then 5% of their salary to build houses and health care...all these for the POOR/Hustler
"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."
Obaaderemi2: If all of this has been achieved then why are Kenyans angry over the taxes? At least they can see where the money is going. And it's curious Obiano did not counter any of those achievements except the ones on healthcare.
If food staples such as maize are dropping in prices and generally inflation is as low as 3.5% then there's light at the end of the tunnel for Kenyans.
Then nonsense about JKIA JKIA burnt down Chinese came and put facade on top of a burnt down airport Now it leaking and it a mess. Ethiopia and Rwanda are putting up 3B dollars airport each.
We want to cry about airport terminal that burnt down long time ago?
KQ is finally emerging from mess and will need an airport.
Kenya is too broke to get 3B to build an airport - PPP is only way out
Rwanda gave it to Qatar. We give to Adani - excellent.
You're a big fool. SHIF will have 20,000 hospitals. They will bill SHIF - this where technology comes in. And if Jayesh has shares in 20,000 hospitals - then he truly own kenya. Last I checked he only owned Nairobi West hospital.
I was referring to Jayesh Saini whom you just accepted has been the main thief in the healthcare sector. He is now the main mover in the SHA scam and Ruto, with his puny Mobutu syndrome, is glad to work with. Adani is not a thief but a scammer. There is a difference, RIP.
You're heckling. Adani might be a thief but he is richest man in Asia and 11st richest in the world. Ruto would be happy to bring him to kenya. If you have more thieves like Adani - please send it our way.
A thief who has 15 airports in India, 20 ports, half the entire electricity network, etc.
Bring us that Adani thief. We have so many aiports, port, electricity network to be STOLEN. They are mostly decrepit if not run down.
What is there to STEAL? In that JKIA held together by straps? Or in non-existent high voltage network lines.
African and stupidity - ohoo Indian Adani. He will still be richest man in Asia and top in the world. What is Africa and or kenya to Adani
Ruto is investing with KNOWN Indian thieves, just like you have admitted, and you are telling us he is using technology to stop corruption. When the same thieves are the ones in charge of the technology.
SHIF and SHA are scams. End of arguments. Im tired of arguing with Ruto minions who can barely explain the simplest of things. 104 B was stolen in the last ten yrs by the people Ruto is now putting at the center of SHA and healthcare, the Jayesh Indians.
You have very LOW IQ. Kenya should have been on SHIF long time ago - way back in 2003. The NHIF model is totally messed up. SHIF is universal health insurance - it not NHIF that at best had 7M contributors. Totally different concept.
SHIF will heavily relie on TECHNOLOGY - and we are going to invest that 105B KES - because we want TECHNOLOGY - to save us from corruption.
NHIF failed because of lack of such technology.
Ruto is investing heavily in technology - because that SUREST way to fight corruption, ineffieciency and wastage.
Fertilizer subsidy is via e-voucher. Hustler fund is online algorithm run. SHIF is tech run Ecitizen is now 20,000 services on steroids.
SHA is just plain old tenderpreneurship. Why didnt he simply fix NHIF that has been in existence for decades? Ruto saw the looting ceiling has come down after people refused to pay taxes thats why he is looking for such useless ventures like SHA to the tune of billions and Adani as stealing avenues. Stop thinking small. Thats why all investors in SHA are Indians, just like Moi so that he can steal with them. A defining character of your people is the use of Indians to loot public money. That is imprinted in your collective DNA. When all this is done and dusted, Ruto will be the first president to be jailed. Mark my words.
You write nonsense without fact checking. 1) We have 5B tender that was given for SHIF rollout. This current software being rollout in all hospital. The current software was trialed in Isiolo hospital - failed - SHIF rolled out was pushed to 3 months - now it been rolled out nationally - and still has issues. As software engineer myself - that I think kinda normal for such huge system.
2) 104B - 10yr contract deal - is PHASE 2. NOT YET STARTED.
3) 105B TSC health care - stop smoking too much weed! Total annual salaries for teachers is something like 300B. How will TSC get 150B for health insurance.
You slowpoke consume the worst kind of propaganda and bring it to international forum.
If you thought the 104B SHIF tender was shocking wait till you hear that Jayesh and Adil Khawaja through their companies Minet, MAKL and Pioneer have illegally allocated themselves 150B from Teachers Service Commission alone. Yet teachers continue to suffer and paying out of pocket medical bills. Adani is a thief not an investor. Ruto can give him the contract illegally and wait to be hanged later when we hang him and his entire family. We know he already received the kickbacks with akina Murkomeno. Your fake PR stunts wont matter.
