Where Did the Money Go? - Part 1

Күн бұрын

After a period of uncontrolled borrowing and the unveiling of several mega infrastructure projects, Kenya's government is increasingly finding itself in a tight corner as it has to balance the revenues collected by the Kenya Revenue Authority, which has continuously missed its collection targets, servicing of local and external debts which are falling due and public spending. For the latter, the challenges have resulted in a vicious war with county governments whose disbursements have often delayed, and spilt over to other arms of government, as recently exhibited by happenings in the country's judiciary.
In the midst of all this, one is left wondering, where did the money in East Africa's largest economy go?
In August, Africa Uncensored's John-Allan Namu hosted a panel of thought leaders on the matter at hand as well as tie-ins that include devolution and the full implementation of the constitution that the country promulgated in 2010.

All this conversation was debated before and during the 2017 election campaign. We asked where the approximately 6Trillion shillings borrowed by Jubilee had disappeared to. We then, correctly concluded that this money's, which the IMF and the World Banks had warned Kenya not to borrow the cheap Chinese Central Bank loans, which was careless and had high interest rates attached to them, and which Uhuru and his Government ignored and went ahead to borrow. The Big Question still remains, where did all that money go? Did we waste all that money on the SGR? What about the promised roads and projects. The answer still remains the same todate, in Uhuru Kenyatta's pockets and his ill run, greedy Government. We said then and our views are unchanged to-date that Uhuru and his Jubilee Government are the most corrupt government in Kenya's History. Let us not pretend we did not know all this hard facts. David Ndii has been openly saying this before and during the 2017 election campaigns. But we never listen, we appointed a thief to watch over our interests, let us not be puzzled as to why we are in this impoverished sorry state. It is our arrogance that sees our nation, you and I suffering the consequences of our bad choice. The bad choice we are all a contributing factor to, and are ripping her benefits while the benefactors are our corrupt rulling elite. Being a Christian Nation, it may be easier to say, every man shall rip what he sow. Make no mistakes about it. So who do we blame for our stupidity, God???????

John Allan Namu, great job. I like that you were asking for example to clarify what the panelists were saying. For example, when you asked Waiganjo to provide an example that supported the fact that some of the aspects of the devolved government design were violating the principles of the constitution. I would love to see more of these kind of interviews; they help us know where to begin to understand our woes as Kenyans.

He is the man can deal with corruption because he is clean and no one can point a finger at him na wewe umenyakuwa. Mr Ndii will make sure the corrupt go to jail. In Kenya people like David Ndii are called fools because they are not thieves. People like David cannot be leaders because they lacks qualifications of being a thieve to be President, which is very sad.

It’s pretty simple you increased duty to a level where Kenyan products are now not affordable regionally. Business have come to a halt. We used to have merchants coming all the way from east and central Africa. With regional trade money came in and flow of money was in plenty. Now our neighbours prefer to buy goods from Uganda including us Kenyans bearing in mind UG is land locked depends on our waters and more neighbours preferring to do business withTanzania why? Their products are more cheaper surpassing Kenya. So no more money is coming in Kenya until we revise our rates. The little we have left is being sent to China and other creditors outside to pay debts. So basically we are being left with nothing. Mr President take advantage of the port reduce or make it free to import goods especially for goods that are not locally produced or available. Wait and see traders coming all the way from Cameroon to buy in Kenya than taking a flight to China, this will increase revenue in the country. If it is taxes you want to collet so bad make it minimum through VAT from traders. Haba na haba hujaza kibaba. Kenyan goverment is stupid to think that heavy taxation is success no you actually destroying our economy.
