Stanchart increases interest rate on loans in Kenya shillings to 27% effective 19 November 2015.
The payment amount will remain the same but tenure will be increased by 22 months

I was done paying my loan then you tell me on the last month that I have two more years to pay for free. This is outright theft sir.

How to make a country rich.

We have little of this.

We can have all the Standard Gauge railways and overpasses we want but until the average skill level rises, we ain't doing shit.

These doodads we're proud of (the railway, roads etc) are the macroscopic equivalent of owning a sports car and expensive electronics while living in a grass thatch with a pit latrine.

Real progress will come when people are paid to sit in laboratories. We have bright chaps stuck in miserable day jobs that have nothing to do with the Bachelors of Science or MSC's they pursued in school. Why? Because they have to buy unga at the end of the day.

I like the sarcasm in the video.

Dont blame the TBill and bond rates.The rates are a consequence of poor decisions made earlier.and thus the increase which has an adverse effect to the common business man and common man at large.

Refer back to 1992 and the state of the economy then.

To jerk your mind , interest rates were at 40%.

Now research

The president does not get it. His latest directive in vetting KRA officers is like shooting the goose that lays the golden eggs. It will create unnecessary tension and witch hunting within KRA and cause collection to drop even further. He needs to seriously cut back spending, especially pointless entertainment and travel, county level extreme corruption and so called infrastructure white elephants that are gobbling cash without tangible results I.e Konza city, galana, SGR. Reduce counties to 11 if need be to cut costs. If not I agreed we are going to sink so fast in debt and be an African Greece in waiting!!
