I think we forget that Uhuru said "I will continue borrowing" not "we will continue borrowing" during the interview conducted in Mombasa with various journalists. That statement carries a lot of weight to it and we should carefully discern what is going on.

The money is for uhuru and his family plus his goons

Just because Kenya can qualify for the loans doesn't mean our political class should borrow on our behalf to enrich themselves

Funny he didn't answer the question "why is Kenya taking this loan"...

What a knowledgeable interview, thanks for the insight

Kenyans not yet mad enough...we need rage! So called leaders busy being Antoinettes, the street lamps will bend with weight at this rate 😡😖

NTV, you need to do more research into your interviewees. This guy looks rich and comfortable. He must have been an employee of IMF.

Amboko has to be one of the best and most informed business journalist in Kenya. He is very knowledgeable in matters business. That aside, I think we keep complaining too much forgetting we are the creators of this problems. When we elect village fools to political offices, we shouldn't expect anything less than mediocrity. "mwiba wa kujidunga hauna kilio".

we can always start by having the political class pay taxes.

THIS GUY IS ANSWERING QUESTIONS LIKE EEEEEVERYTHING IS FINE.....WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOT TALK,

Mwambie aongee kiswahili haki kizungu haiwezi ingia tukiwa na njaa,I can barely feed my three children na mzee ametoka venye mambo imekuwa ngumu,how do we even pay these loans...Do we also run away from our children,We can't take it anymore...itabidi mtu ajimalize na familia yake..

Nasir the price of constructing roads has not increased 200 billions due to passage of time but because of corruption compared with other East African neighbors.

16:48 The concern in Denis's voice tells you how deep this actually is... worrying.

This gentleman is well informed.

We Kenyans should vote for someone new. Not this leaders who have stolen for decades. We need a presidents that has the interest of Kenyans at heart.

The problem is not about the loans but how they are utilized in Kenya. 50 % of the money will of course go to people's pockets. The remaining amount will go to building of roads which create seasonal jobs for people. The best thing would be having a policy where 50 percent of the loans is used to build industries which will offer more jobs and more taxes for the government.........

so many pple are ignorant of kenyan system and have little knowledge on funding and how the gov financial sytem oprarates ...this is a big problem this could also be related to buying off kenyan loans from china

The thieves will still steal the money

This fella is part of the system...he feels too relaxed, like all's well😖

Majority of wananchi live under poverty line. Also compare the standard of living in Japan. Not just the debt to GDP ratio. Clearly something productive done with their borrowing! Expenditure management should be a criteria in borrowing from IMF...

Default all loans and start from zero. That would work magic!!

...........chances that the IMF will withold for some period the release of the further trenches of the loan on the due requisite dates........on premises of non compliance by Kenya Govt. with the conditionalities deadlines the IMF has set!!!!!

No bwana..we agreed TANO TENA!! ENDENI UKOO..

What is the gov doing running those businesses! PRIVATIZE THEM AND GIVE THEM TAX RELIEFS

Fuel is ver high; very expensive

Those loans have no impact on the common man in kenya. They benefit a few people in Uhuru's government that they stash in the foreign accounts

Why loan a country more than 6loans yet u haven't serviced the first one! I think Kenya got someone also inside IMF benefiting from the loans

sickening to say the least

In-depth analysis Watching from 🇬🇭

What's the point of borrowing and the money going into some scam heads pocket .

Why can't we Kenyan take loans from Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia which has no INTEREST

Isaiah 56:11; They are dogs with mighty appetites, they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own ways, they seek their own gains.

I would suggest a mss demo to try push this chest thumping regime into submission...they really care less about the common man.

Huyu ni beneficiary. Part of the problem

We need more seat in goverment

and now we have(asians) as the 44th tribe in kenya,this issue should be revisited,we are africans what are asians doing in africa as our african tribe,surely kenya is lost,someone we dont want any more tribes added here from other countries,next it will be sudan,congo,burundi,rwanda and kenya will belong to everyone,kenyans mark my words if we dont tackle this issue we are done for

.....RESTRUCTURING AND RETRENCHMENT MY FOOOOT. ........WHEN ALREADY THERE IS JOBLESSNESS AND BUSINESSES COLLAPSING.

oh we're screwed🙂

2013 I saw something was off between uhuru and ruto I felt they were not the best they had this "goonish" aura to them I even warned my associates not to vote for them yesterday they called me and acknowledged they were wrong. I have to say this 100% that if kenyans elect ruto next this country will fall apart and disintegrate into civil war and thousands will die unfortunately kenyans can't handle the kind of recklessness ruto has with money.

The guest talks too much English with bogus explantation

Few of beneficiaries speek like this guy.

They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain." ... But they are shepherds who have no understanding; they have all turned to their own way, each to his own gain, one and all."

The problem with kenya is that we are procuring loans in order to steal them. Getting loans is not bad but it should be used for the intended purpose. We should not do mistakes moi regime did. Between 1989 and 1999 the construction of dual carriage way was between 150m to 200m kenyan shillings per kilometre but now it's 2billion shillings per kilometre that means if we don't borrow right now and built those infrastructures we will build them at much high price ten years to come. This immature media connotations that kenya is choking on debt is totally rubbish because japan is almost 237% debt ridden yet JICA is funding dongo kundu bypass in mombasa. Wake up and think. We need to fight corruption and not borrowing.

True. Kenya must put its house in order right at the ballot box. Pray that people are enlightened on the seriousness of voting for people just because you have something to do with them, vote brains and manifestos IN. Have a real opposition to put the govt. in check.

That ”Kenya meets the threshold of tappning into new credit” if true then why the condition of expanding the tax-base i.e. more taxation to the ordinarie mwananchi? The digital service providers shall pass on new taxes in January to the end users = increases in prices. IMF has fixed the threshold so that they are covered......

Put Kenya on crb

Our ange is not in taking the loan but how previous loans have been used....every country borrows,but Kenya borrows for cartels to steal but not to help it's citizens

When learned people start sounding stupid.

wage bill: instead of retrenching just reduce salaries from the top officials so that no one is fired instead the slot is filled with more kenyans getting jobs..Mungu Anawapenda Kenya tuombeane EAC

The IMF debilitating conditions are made to assure loan repayment without regard to consequences rather than allow the debtor country to use the loan for its economic progress to enable it to repay the loan.

Let the loans be given to Kenya but we must have IMF personnal sitting in Nairobi and overseeing the spending the money. Or its just like giving a hyena a piece of meat and telling it please don't eat..

Why aren't Kenyans equally vexed by Chinese loans?

If it's a whole Dome of Church that is affected

We lack good business/ economics journalists.

He talks like government. Part of the system?

Hahhhaha😂🤣😭😭🤣😂 Yet you will all vite on TRIBAL LINES

They have been borrowing from the West since 1963 - they will continue to do so til 2163 on wards. Makes no difference who leads the country, as long as the West feeds them easy money that promotes dependence of the West which in turn advances the West's economic, political. cultural & military interests in African countries.

How can you say that our debt is sustainable?? Do you know how much we owe china IMF w.ho and usa?

Ezzy oroiyo hii ni mambo gani? 2 martha between duale ama?

According to me the guy didn’t give satisfactory answers he is just going round and round

I think we have cartoons called for such analyses

was this guy paid???? he is behaving as though he is normal and we are crazy. he is dishonest and full of stupid jargon.

SGR loans to China, IMF loans, World bank covid loans and other bilateral loans besides the existing loans.

Dennis when are we having Betty kyallo on the show to discuss relationship tips??

Okari seems out of his depth. Just like many Kenyans are. Lol, watu pumbafu kabisa

follow Miguna on twitter to understand everything.

We should have spoken sooner.

Don't say "We " say Uhuru requested for the loan

The perseverance is in Probability of What Job

matiang our maghufuli

Why are Kenyans not mad with more expensive and corrupt loans from China!

Ezzy oroiyo hizo pesa ni huhuru sio ya Wakenya lakini.nataka mama martha karua akuwe rais wetu 2022 mapema asubui 7.00am maoni nimekasika sana hao wote watoke

Let us elect a muslim this time as president they are trustworthy

Am afraid the next prezo kkkkk

The IMF is also corrupt. State owned enterprises are not the problem. Those who steal this money are the problem. The thieves are in high offices. Kenyans must put pressure on the IMF not to lend Kenya the money. The government has to go after the thieves for money.

Now watching

I saw it in Immigration X-ray's

THIS SPECS GUY IS SMILING AS IF ITS GOOD NEWS TO RECEIVE LOANS,NO ONE TELLS THE PUBLIC OF LOANS,WHEN AND HOW DO THEY INFORM US,

KENYA HAS A SOUND FISCAL AND MONETARY ABILITY TO EVEN BORROW MORE, WATU WAACHE MEHEMEHE. I WISH I WAS IN KENYANS POSITION WITH GOOD CREDIT RATING. TENS OF WORLD COUNTRIES WISH TO BE IN KENYA'S POSITION, SO PLEASE SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND LET KENYA IENDELEE MBELE, VIVA KENYA

Napenda wakenya wanavyonyesha kukerwa kwenye mtandao ilhali siku ya uchaguzi watakuwa walewale

THIS EXPLAINS WHY KENYA DOESN'T HAVE A GOVERNMENT AUDITOR FOR YEARS SO THAT NO AUDITORS REPORT FOR THE 5 YEARS OF HIS TERM. VERY SAD RETRENCHMENT WHEN THEY ARE ADDING MORE BAGGAGE TO THE TAXPAYER 😥😥😥📖📖📖📖

What is it you are speaking about. We are the government. We are tired, we never sent him.

Not much answeres given.

isaiah 56:11 they are dogs

We're tired with uhuru's nonsense,, ave never seen a useless president ever in Kenyan history like uhuru

These is propaganda... we take loans yet common mwanainchi is suffering. These loans don't help common kenyans, its for these thieves to continue stealing. This is the reason why pple are angry. He keeps saying "national government" we the pple are the national government.

Its true people are tired , hurting and there is immense suffering to all of us. though we may have different boats we are in the same storm. Uhuru did not just happen he was elected. He represents a huge no of Kenyans. HE has done his share of foolishness as well as his share of good things. The crisis we are in is the war between SIGHT and BLINDNESS. Tujiangalie. Kila mtu ajiulize am i blind or sighted. Lets not harass Julians and Dennis or hate on media. This are just people like us. In short Julians is simply telling us that Systems listen to systems not individuals ranting in social media. IMF is a sytem listening to system called GOK. Lets be honest its not about who voted in whomever. It just shows we have what we decided. Each of us needs to make ourselves better then when we form a system it will be better.

Pure nonsense. Will the loan, reduce the cost of food, electricity, soap, mkate(will go to 100 bob)? When a worker comes to clean your mansion, the only question that is in his/her mind is whether you will pay her/wages for that day. Stories of How you constructed your house, the foundations and furnishing is irrelevant. This IMF and Kenya Loan Story is very funny and very captivating. This is my personal take, IMF is the slave master, Kenyan government is the slave seller and we the citizens are the slaves. The question for us is, we ought to think from a slave and not a slave seller Point of View. What are you going to do? You can be a victim, but sometimes we need to make a choice. Time is the best medicine for it heals all wounds. 2022 is very near, as we plan to elect new leaders for this country, we need to ask ourselves this simple question, Is your vote a ticket to freedom or is it a ticket to oppression. For now, sit back and strategize, for the train has left. Why start complaining now, yet this loan stuff never appeared from nowhere. It started last year, what were you doing as a citizen? Ignorance is not an excuse, this is what happens when you don't pay attention. We don't need to blame our President but we need to take ownership and accountability, for we are also to blame. I didn't vote for anyone in the last election, so my question to those who voted for the Jubillee Government, why complain now? The leaders are there because of you. So instead of complaining, accept and acknowledge the situation and then take a stand, to choose more wisely next time.

Drug addicts hides in

I dreamed that Kenyans common mwananchi were up in arms againts the government... It was worse dream ever Government should reconsider their acts if niliota am sure some people have dreamed too unfortunately what I do dream usually comes to past.. Mungu saidia Kenya we sailing on the wrong shore

What is the fuss about the media can sanitize it public can scream on their highest voice but my brothers and sisters save your a energy your family needs you the government and IMF are partners in crime the media needs to sell something they love it when you join in with your frustration and you have nothing to gain 😂😂😂😂 Uhuru also is being entertained by your juha kalulus comments 💰💰😂😂LoL make your self useful

.......NONSENSE. .....STOP FRUSTRATING INNOCENT KENYANS....

Why is everybody behaving like this is new when the g.o.k pull a fast one The generation that survived Johnston kamau their life was easier and cheap The toroitich generation life was linient and painful The generation that survived emilio life was canning and perservialance The current generation of kinyua aka wamashati watajua hawajui Mtajuta mbona mlizaliwa it's scarely President wenyu ni kichaa ametupa mawoods

This presenter is useless but at least the guest is good
