I have reviewed this issues and noted the way kenyan economy is the west will also suffer greatly by imposing sanctions to kenya as a state
reasons:
1. In the case of tourism its the European firms that benefit alot. The holiday packages are sold by European companies and payments made in UK and Europe.out of the 1 billion dollar income very little amount is left in Kenya.


2. Agricultural exports like tea for example unilever is the largest trader of kenyan tea so they will suffer coz of sanctions just as kenyans the same case applies to horticulture.

3. In banking their banks will also be hard hit??

I think the west will place restrictions on Uhuruto as individuals and avoid sanctions to the country?

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ???????????????????????/

hahahahhaaa!!!!

We cant just wait and see Sudan is feeling the effect of sanctions despite it being a oil exporter, Kenya which depends on agricultural commodities & tourism will be badly affected. make no mistake the sanction cant be applied separately the people and the president are one cause the people elected the prezzo.

I hope you are right about this.

Who came up with this fallacy that cooperating with the west is kissing butt, but ignoring them is the recipe for national pride n sovereignty?? Ati Kenya can teach the west a lesson, n make them tow our line? Hahaha what a hopeless joke!!

recently we celebrated jamhuri day,now simon kabz,what is the significance of jamhuri day?which events led to kenya's independence?

I would like wazuans esp those think that the west knows nothing to give history books a second chance. All this shit we are going thr they had it 100 times over. The American war of independence, the american civil war, The napoleonic wars, the french revolution, The unification of Germany, Unification of italy, the 30 years war, the ww1, the ww2, the cold war, The korean war, the vietnam war.....these guys have a very rich history, we can't even teach them on genocide n barbarity. We cannot fight them ECONOMICALLY, POLITICALLY, MILITARILY.....so all these bad mouthing n silly suspicions against the west is a load of crap. Many don't even seem to realise how delicate our economy is, n how much we live off the sweat of the white suckers. Defiance will be pure stupidity n suicide, n these guys beating bony chests here about how overconfident they are is pure hubris. Ati we can live on our own COMFORTABLY is a modern joke devoid of any serious mental input. Anybody who has been to class knows no country is an island. Independence is just a word that does not go beyond self governance. The world remains a global village whose intergration is getting complicated by the day, led by the west. The rich cooperater ala kagame vs the poor chest thumper ala Mugabe . Our choice..........

@gmg, Your reasoning is tired.
In production,we have four factors. Three factors are within our borders whether its tourism,horticulture or Agoa Epzs. Only one reward,profits to the owners we can say remains out there. Whats the percentage?
How many workers work in the hospitality sector?The horticulture etc? Then run those numbers against the number of wazungus benefiting.
Just vote for your candidate without getting desperate.

Over 80% vote in favour of Mugabe clearly showed the west where the zimbabwe pple wanted to be! Same as iran, sudan, venezuela. ......this line of argument remains weak.
