Eric, Ndu, CT we will keep saying it- you have a brilliant world class show (informative, educational and entertaining). But please, we can always "up our game". Hire an intern, a savvy tech team, to give you GRAPHICS...not everything can be understood with just words. Especially when it comes to finance/economics...today Jimmy came with spreadsheets...but an intern could show pie charts or bar graphs as he illustrated the case. Helps people understand.

This is the one man I will wake up to on the morning of election day to vote for. There is no one who has articulated our economic problems better than him in my opinion

JIMMY for presidency 2027. Very knowledgeable dude. Kenyans, without tribal feelings, JIMMY is a good candidate for the country's presidency. Jimmy l have said many times that you are the kind of president Kenyans need. You have what it takes and when you get it His Excellency Sir, Kenyans will be relieved for a moment to have an economic genius in office.

Mr. Wanjigi, your next challenge is to put this into a language that a voter is able to understand and consume. A statement/slogan that captures and defines the economic struggle - folks, let’s educate the common/average kenyan voter.

The problem with most citizens of this country is that few can comprehend what Jimmy is talking about. Most people are too simplistic to listen to this conversation beyond five minutes. Those saying Jimmy for president, that he is a breath of fresh air are the educated and the elite who are the minority and therefore currently inconsequential. Politicians like Ruto know this. Kenyans would rather listen to Sudi, a man who has nothing beneficial coming out of his mouth

Next time you welcome Jimmy. Provide him with a writing board. All those figures needs to be written for easy of understanding.

Only analyzed upto 11:39-so in summary this is what Wanjigi is talking about-The Finance Bill is not part of the budget; it is just for revenue. It has come for public participation before we have approved what that money will be used for. According to the law, the process is as follows: 1. Publish revenue and expenditure estimates. 2. The committee reviews it. 3. Public participation occurs. 4. It goes back to parliament to form the Appropriations Bill, which is the budget. Wanjigi argues that there is a problem with the process because the Appropriations Bill hasn't been seen yet. This is against the law, which specifies the correct sequence. The debate should not be on revenue-raising measures before knowing the expenditure plan. Wanjigi uses the analogy of building a house: you need the design (budget) before estimating costs (revenue). Skip to 7:11 where Wanjigi tells Eric that he is aiding and abetting. The Budget in legal terms is called the Appropriations Bill, which the president signs. It includes: 1. Estimate of revenues: how much is needed and where it will come from. 2. Expenditure: what it will be spent on. Once the president assents (formal agreement or approval) to the Appropriations Bill, it becomes the Appropriations Act. Public participation is needed to pass this bill. Only after the bill is passed should revenue-raising measures be discussed. During public participation, we might reject certain expenditures, which affects the budget policy statement but doesn’t mean it will pass the appropriations. Introducing a housing levy in the Finance Bill prematurely is out of sequence with the legal process. This happened last year when the LSK went to court citing procedural and substantive illegalities, challenging parliament for not following the proper process. This year, the same mistake is being repeated, leading Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah to go to court. Omtatah and Mr. Eliud Karanja fault parliament for prioritizing the Finance Bill, 2024 before considering and approving the Appropriations Act, 2024, which is against the legal process. Thus, public participation is premature as the revenue and expenditure estimates have not been published yet. Kwame mentioned the Finance Bill is proposing up to 200 tax measures, but we don't know what this money is for due to the lack of published revenue estimates.

The document Wanjigi brought with him should have been attached for our review. I am confident that a new era for Kenya is on the horizon. With such insightful minds, we cannot remain in the dark for long. Despite our current situation, we will soon see progress. These discussions should be fundamental to our everyday conversations in Kenya.

Not a Kenyan, but I hugely admire Wanjigis insight and obvious talent for making economic/financial matters accessible to a wider audience. Given the fact, that you Kenyans have a severe tendency to elect the wrong people for just about any public office, you could possibly redeem yourself by electing this man for the country's highest office. He does come across as someone who cares. I watched many interviews with Wanjigi and when asked why he cared, he gave a brilliant and probably very honest answer: " I am a businessman, I am in the money-making business. I can only make money if people have money".

Who else feels like me?jimmy genuinely care for this country .

Nice one Jimmy, thanks for always opening our eyes. The only guest who makes this great panel scratch their heads with figures .

I like listening to jimmy..he is so articulate and knowledgeable. He explains technical accounts in a very simplified way.

Jimmy, you have my vote. We need change.

90% of Kenyans don't know this maths, 9% know but don't really care because they are comfortable, 1% know and care so much because they are eating from others lack of knowledge.

The more i listen to wanjigi, the more i realise Uhuru Kenyatta should be in prison for Economic Crimes...he oversaw the worst 10 year period in this country

This entire video was prophetic 🥹

Jimmy shows up in the studio, Eric becomes confused, loses line of questioning, and starts punching below the knee. Nduu becomes an apparent cheerleader; CT decided to stay home as his calculator can't work these numbers anymore 😂😂 Wuueeh!!!

This is the kind of brain Kenya needs as a president to move foward

In his insightful discussion, he foresaw the emancipation and revolution. ⭐️ Thank you, Jimi Wanjigi, for your service, and kudos to ‘The Situation Room’ for providing him with a platform.

This is my first time listening to Jimi Wanjigi speak. He has every thing it takes to lead the Kenyan nation. What a beautiful shot of fresh air! very knowledgeable and articulate. If only we can get over silly tribal affiliations and elect men and women of this caliber!

Hello Kenyans! From a Tanzanian in America offering a perspective from where I sit. This may be an unpopular opinion, but Ruto’s recent trip to the United States may garner more gifts than you think. The private jet trip may end up being worth it. The United States is aware of its declining influence, alarm bells have sounded. It has to find partners that are democratic and free market oriented. The globe is a dark forest where nations can be eaten up if they are not part of certain very influential clubs. NATO’s not so bad. Debt can always be negotiated, Kenya’s is a rounding error that the United States can wave or offset in an afternoon. Remember these two quotes though, attributed to Henry Kissinger but actually belong to Aleksey Efimovich Vandam(Edrikhin) and Lord Palmerston respectively. “It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.” “America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests.”

Jimi Wanjigi is such a breath of fresh air. Doing the lords work on behalf of Kenyans I've had a better understanding of about the fiscal position and budget. Please bring him again.

This man is simply brilliant. I can listen to him all day long. And walk away enlightened

When Jimmy Wanjigi gave the history of "planned poverty" I knew Kenya has her next leader...he is educating Africans on our economic history, just as Malema has done in South Africa. Kenya needs a Kagame, a Traore, etc. Ruto is an undereducated buffoon. What I respect William Ruto for, is showing the world Kenya can raise the absolute poorest to sit at State Dinners with world leaders! Well done Samoei. But Samoei is not equiped in any way for the economic battke Kenya needs to fight and win. No criminal is. Thats why even Uhunye coukd not win or fight it.

I love hon jimmy wanjigi,he always talk the truth,but no one will listen,coz we have lion in the government eating meat,while hustler is waiting for the bone.

Jimmy Wanjigi is a good contender for the 2027 presidency. I really wish people vote for him, for once vote for someone based on their policies, not nonsense like tribal background.

Jimmy is convincing me to vote for him as 2027 president. Great economist 🎉

Wanjigi you are smart😮 Thank you for educating us on matters economy, constitution, history and governance. The middle class have let this country down.

Wanjigi is the man ,we need an economist Kenya needs him iam from western province , wanjigi ana kura yangu

We can trust what Jimmy says since no one has come out to disprove what he says. Thank you for opening our eyes.

The people of the mountain are finally feeling it. They have voted time and again based on ' mtu wetu' while the rest of the country suffered. Their vote finally backfired on them. The rest of the country has been suffering since independence..not the two tribes...at least they have businesses that are finally suffering. Most of the rest of us were struggling to even put food on the table all along. Hope they can learn lessons and stop believing mtu wetu politics. That is the only way we can rescue Kenya, united.

Jimi Wanjigi has explained a lot. He has knowledge and a heart that is required to put this country on a recovery plan ecomomically without taking money out of people´s pockets.

kindly have a smartboard in studio so that Jimmy can write this figures down as we calculate together.. his knowledge of finance and governance is extremely useful.

Such a stimulating conversation

If indeed we are broke as Wanjigi says, then call the CS Treasury to come and defend his figures and actions.

Madlyafrican, I fully agree 👍 isn't it time Wanjigi sought elective office, preferably President?

As an African born in America, I am so proud of my brothers and sisters in Kenya and the diaspora. The presence of US representatives and politician of African descent is not a coincidence. There is no hidden agenda, The US and Europe through the IMF and the World Bank are why Imperialism does not need any troops on the continent. The book I read in college, Aid As Imperialism illustrates why African countries are only independent on paper. Your brother Walter Rodney in How Europe Underdeveloped Africa show why we must develop an economic system not borrowed from our colonizers. The protest are a symptom of the larger problem of not developing an an economic/political based on our African experience. We were warned in Kwame Nkrumah's "Neo-Colonialism The Last Stage of Imperialism, the President of Kenya and others on the continent are serving in this capacity. The IMF told the president to "ignore" the protest. Whatever the contradictions are in China, the only way they were able to achieve that they have achieved in just forty years is that they developed and economic/political system based on their national identity. They have never surrendered their cultural identity to those who have invaded them.

Wanjigi the way you laugh with all your teeth😂😂😂😂😂😂😂wehhh

We should start dealing with corruption China style. IF you're just suspected you're killed. Wes should be patriotic and protect our heritage and that of our children and generation to come. All these misappropriation of monies causes us problems and the future. economic hard times, lack of jobs for our youths, poor health and education systems, crime rate increase and loss of hope for most people.

Watching this after the chaos that occurred and it now makes sense why people went to riot

This videos with Jimi will forever be idealised as Kenya as a body with an infection and now the body is in shock.

Jimmy, i am a young graduate from ku, i believe you have a vision for change and i would like to join safina party. Kenya needs change and its not those in office who are going to bring the change, we have to do it ourselves

Such a stimulating conversation! Jimi’s visits to this show are just the best🔥🔥. This man is passionate about this country.

Wanjigi should start campaigning for presidency at this time. Most Kenyans are looking for solutions and he has them.

I love the way Jimmy Wanjigi laughes. His laugh comes from deep within, it's from a confident man, an authoritative man, and most important, a happy man. I can't imagine how frustrating it is for people like Jimmy to watch what is happening to this country. Blatant disregard for the law by the leaders, this is how anarchy starts, you push people and push them until they can stand it no more.

A great conversation, making it easy to understand the economic situation of our country.

i have been listening to Jimmy wanjigi for a while now and i can attest that he understand this country better than anyone else.. i think he need to be given that chance to become the president of this country...

We did not elect ruto to tell us we are bankrupt, we elected him to oversee us through the bankruptcy

Your shows are always always good but try to do away with people(cleaners) movements here n there in your background when the show is running to make it more quality. Or coverup glass walls/windows around.

This is an amazing conversation. It should be transmitted in all the social media and main media platforms.

Brilliant man, well articulated.

We must never forget, at one of his party functions in the lead up to the elections, he invited William Ruto who attended, and I also think he had planned to work with his coalition. It is guys like Jimi Wanjigi, and there are many of them in THENTRAL Kenya that has brought us here. The beauty in seeing all this unfold is that those who thought they would be safe and get protection from Ruto will be the first ones to start crying. Still, I must admit I love listening to how much economic information he has. That information should be dispensed to his people.

Love listening to Jimmy Wanjigi…He comes with facts and very logical in his thinking❤❤

Wanjigi is the most educated, informed, thorough, contented aand coolest boomer/millenial we have!! Respect to this guy, COUNT MY VOTE ANYDAY SIR

I am kindly asking Wanjigi and Spice TV to organise classes on Economic rights and current issues in Kenya and the World at large and we will pay for these lessons.

I have listened jimy and omari on the badgers and appropriation budgets and IAM completely convinced come next election we elect wanjigi as president to take care of thieves

He has heavy points. Now I know better. This interview should get a larger audience...be taken to a bigger platform.

It has gotten to a point where i don't know who to trust any more. Am just tired.

Wanjigi should be nominated to parliament

Wah...leo Eric amepatikana...he fa&fo hajui chochote tryna question Jimi's deep understanding of these things.🤭..Kweli asiyefunzwa na Jimi atafunzwa na Ruto & KK company.

Jimmy wanjigi truly cares for this country from the many times I've seen him come to this talk show!! I wish this government listens to him

This episode needs to be amplified in bits of each question to ensure each discussion question is easily picked out... JW is a brilliant mind!! FACTS FACTS FACTS!!

This is just mind blowing... jimmy has awakened me

Kenya 🇰🇪 doesn't have NATIONALISTS

At least I have been taught, keep up Mr. Wanjigi

Wanjigi for President. He understands Value For Money. It's serious the way Uhuru played us on the economy. I will vote for Wanjigi this time.

This is a great way of campaigning for the next election. Jimmy has one agenda; debt and economic freedom. We are hearing your agenda for this country, your manifesto. By 2027 we'll be ready for you because we have listened to you daily. No need for standing on top of a car with a mega phone

Jimmy, the man. Straight forward and clear

Wanjigi. Has a lot of understanding in monrey issues . Continue oversighting this government and inform the public Very impressive talk

That’s why Plato’s ideas of an ideal democracy were such that voting public servants into office should only be carried out by those who are enlightened enough to comprehend the nitty gritty of good governance. Moi has been proven right! What does Wanjiku know? She’s been manipulated by the politicians and is now on the brink of auctioning Kenya 🇰🇪 for pennies on the dollar!

Brilliant discussion. Thank you Jimmy. Even if we take the criminals to court, they have lined up the courts with their own judges who will not stand up for Kenyans😮

Miguna & Wanjigi could really make this country great again 💯🔥

Every time i listen to Jimmy i get more furious and mad of how we are taken for a ride by this treasury guys and how clueless and ignorant Kenyans are to this debt issues. Its as if our minds cannot still comprehend the magnitude of the the theft of our public money that has occurred.

Good 👍 conversation

Jimmy Wanjigi I would like to let you know that unless three things change, I'll assure you the situation is becoming more and more awkward as days goes by. The three things are, 1. Corruption. 2. Mindset. 3. Data collection.

Hon.Jimmy Wanjigi,you have my vote 2027.60 years after independence Kenyans are suffering because of electing selfish and uncouth leaders whose goal is all about them and their cronies.

I also agree with Wanjigi, IMF are complicit in this whole scenario. They are benefiting and will keep silent.

Jimmy you have my vote and I will offer myself to campaign for you

This is so informative, many Kenyans are unaware of these happenings

20 minutes in, and I'm confused like the two hosts, the thieves are caught red handed...

This is a very enlightening discussion. A clear exposure of the grey areas where ufisadi is hidden. Please let this be made available to the wananchi. The youth rebellion is understandable and completely justified. There is an obvious initial solution: waonyeshe mlango hao wafisadi. Wafukuzeni jamani. Hawa waheshimiwa mabingwa wa uchumi wawe viongozi wapya. Kenya Oyee!!! Afrika Oyee!!! A Luta Continua!!!

This is the man I started showing interest in business and politics because of him. I would like to meet you one day Mr.president acha nimalize shule kwanza

This is the guy who could make kenya look great like mwai kibaki

The problem is, Wanjigi even with all this wisdom never campaigns seriously for the seat. Like right now he should come out seriously and show Kenyans he want the seat. But atangojea mpaka 2027 harafu watu washamsahau. However what does he has to loose, nothing. But us the young people will sleep without food. We love you Wanjigi.. please keep your presence on....Align with the gen z...kina Kangai....and we will support you. As a person from finance background, I have always listened to you and you understand the economy

we need to give him Nairobi This man always has my Vote, he is exeptional in economics expecially if your blessed to hear him up close.

Av listen d and relistened and man Mr. Wanjigi asante sana. Spice platform is the best. Thanks giys very insightful

15:28 then we will still blame Uhuru. This is the same method used in the last 10 years now we know who devised it. Instead of stopping it, they have continued meaning they were the once looting under Uhuru.

Good insight Jimmy. Very damning information

Informative information for knowledge seekers listening is an important asset. Continue listening for better knowledge and leading narratives on the SUBJECT,INTERESTS for the learning process for better understanding knowledge for lasting better satisfying knowledge conclutions.

The brilliance in interpreting abt finance bill is amazingly clear that I have picked important things. Kenyans we are fools, why not elect a bright business minded smart man like Jimmy. I love you sir and the news anchors. My vote come 2027 is save

Jimmy is a SMART man ..he needs to be a president advisor but not president position.. (he is a business man😂)

Ruto and Uhuru , should the constitution be adhered to, should face charges! Lakini sisi Wakenya ni nani?

Watching this after githurai massacre😮Truly we are fighting for our economic rights🙏

Wow, always mind boggling revelation, I trust and believe one day Kenyans shall up rise just like before to claim our right, it shall be messy.

this guy wanjigi is an accountanat and economist about everyday life all at once.

The only way for a country's situation to improve is to make the people produce for consumption and export. Anything else is just juggling the same balls and expecting a different outcome, which is insanity.

This man needs to be Kenya 🇰🇪 advisor blessings from st.🇰🇳

This was the guy I was talking about. Jimi maina wa Njigi. Economist at its best.

The revolution time has come , Jimmy take the mantra and help kenyans wriggle themselves out of Zakayo strappings of poverty

Economic revolution. Bravo Jimmy
