INDEBTED: Kenya's Journey to a Debt Crisis [Part 3: Dams, Dollars and Debt Ceilings]

Рет қаралды 44,712

Жыл бұрын

Kenya's economy is in serious trouble. The country's leadership has just pushed through Parliament a budget that is driven by the need to collect as much tax as possible. In fact, the government's target of Kshs 3.6 trillion in the 2023/2024 budget is Kshs 1.5 trillion more than the 2022/2023 budget. This speaks to the desperate situation that Kenya is in. But Kenya's debts don't come from thin air.
This series breaks it all down. It is a story of at least a decade of mismanagement of Kenya's loans, shocking corruption and debt dependency that has led the country to this point told by auditors, analysts and insiders.

Kenya is like an employee with a payslip, but it has over committed the paycheck to the point that it constantly runs on a deficit in their budget...we are spiralling down the sri lankan way into an economic collapse...

its so sad to actually know that this huge amount of money was stolen with the so called leaders of today n former government ,its so painful seeing African leaders (especially my own country Kenya) n they r all walking free same still in offices stealing .it has to stop. the normal mwananchi is the one suffering the most. Big shout to @ALAN @AFRICA UNCENSORED for the amazing work. Thanks for educating us n opening our eyes...time will come...

Kenya is the type of country where a you budget for $10 to do a project but borrow $150 for the same project, use $4 out of the original $10 and use that $4 to do a shoddy job on the said project while $156 goes into private hands to build personal projects like the ugly apartment buildings springing up on every little space available and huge personal maisonettes which look magnificent on the outside but with trashy interiors and wasted open spaces.

The question I always ask myself is this, why are Kenyan banks always so complacent when it comes to transfer and transactions of such huge amount of cash? Ama there's a cut they get in every goverment money laundering they help facilitate? I mean for an ordinary Kenyan, you can't transfer 2-5M without the bank asking you 99 questions and filling countless forms. But these mobsters through the help of banks are transferring billions of stolen cash without hustle. Sad!

@@catherineikovwa3401You're right! Instead of just being dispassionately interested in the genesis and the truth, whatever it is; some are only bothered about and keen on apportioning blame upfront. In reality, though, it's important to understand the theft mechanisms, in order to device workable antidotes, rather than being ceased with rooting for or against any particular demigod, or untouchable, who may or may not be involved in squandering public resources.

When I recall the hue&cry of parading then CS Rotich& senior employees in the Treasury to the docks,then collapse of the case..its beyond comprehension WHY our govt prefers to bleed us dry.

In my opinion, there's not much you've uncovered in this part 3. Only the original agreement was a PPP which shifted to the government financing the project. Questions we need answers to: 1. Who was behind the switch from a PPP to government financing the project? 2. Provide descriptive details about the Italian firm that won the contract, and why there wasn't a second bidding when the contract shifted from a PPP to a government financed project? 3. At 11.33 the former auditor speaks of a completely different company to the one that was awarded the tender. How is a different company awarded a contract from the one that won the tender? 4. What was the role of the insurance money paid out? 5. What is the co-relation between the raising of the debt ceiling and this dam scandal? You need to establish without reasonable doubt that these two events are related.

Who is responsible is important. Why and how money is lost is just as important. We have had multiple thefts across our history but the public are hardly made to understand how or why things happen. With that information you can change a system. Who allows you to remove one person whereas a system stays intact. Thanks for watching though.

@joe_seth Жыл бұрын

John, this is incredibly disappointing. When you resort to dividing the story into brief episodes to build suspense, it becomes evident that something is amiss. Have the courage to uncover the truth behind the billions that have burdened our country with debt. Don't leave us hanging with a convoluted chase; either reveal the identity of those responsible for stealing the funds or keep it to yourself. We need transparency, not mere suspense.

@john-allannamu7227 Жыл бұрын

Sorry that you find the pieces disappointing. We thought to break things down so that the public who Watch understand the genesis of our debt but by bit. Also, one of the goals of the piece is to explain how things have happened, not just who is behind everything. People come and go, systems need to be understood to be changed.
