I have found myself feeling pity for Uhuru, a man I refused to vote for in 2013 and campaigned against in 2017.

When you interact with the people who form the bedrock of his political support, you come across anger and frustration that is almost reaching scary levels.

The economy has tanked badly and I doubt Uhuru knows this. His big 4 is dead even before it starts. Even if he fires all corrupt guys in government and hires clean guys, there is no money to finance the big 4.

For every 100 bob KRA collects debt servicing takes 38 bob. Salaries, pension and counties take the rest. We have maxed out on borrowing. actually we have to restructure some facilities.

In my home county Nyeri, milk prices have dropped from a high of 38 to around 28 bob. And this is the dry season. Farmers are scared stiff what will happen after the rains when we have a milk glut. Broiler and poultry farmers have seen their investments go up in flames. Coffee is history. The new goldmine is macadamia and the prices are stuck at 140 from a high of 220 last season.

Uhuru doesn't have a chance to leave an economic legacy. He doesn't have the willingness or moral authority to fight corruption. He spent the first term undermining the new constitution so he can't leave a legacy of setting a constitutional foundation for Kenya. From where shall he craft his legacy ?

When historians finally write about his term in office, it is doubtful Kenya will ever have a worse presidency than this.

Unconfirmed hearsay goes like; Note competition for raw material is what was making milk prices goes up especially around Kiambu, Limuru areas. Then throw in a spin off strategy; a family purchase most of the dairy processing firms. Merge them with their own. Having obtained a monopoly, dictates the price they want to buy from farmers and make a kill in retail!

Same thing might happen to banks; reduce interest rate to make sure you curtail profits. Small banks drown in operation costs etc and sell out to you at your terms. Marshall all the struggling banks into your portfolio. Then abolish interest caps citing unworkable policies and swim in crazy profits for the rest of your life!

Huko blue section people(myself to be precise) have been waiting for the bull lakini everyday it is doom and gloom as far as economy is concerned. Todays newspapers says cement consumption has gone down.The papers are also reporting that 38% of KRA revenues are going to pay debts for money that has been stolen. Njiraini now wants to tax Lipa na Mpesa paybill after taxing airtime and Mpesa 2018/2019. Saccos are also a big tax target going forward. NSSF statutory reduction is now up to 2000 bob from 200 bob. This is money Atwoli and friends at NSSF are going to fatten-up with proper.They painted thika rd. pink..They even introduced NYS buses for public transport.etcc...i think we need a new thread of Uhuru's flat failure.
Meanwhile big 4 now sounds like a tired line. I said it here that big 4 is another hot air. Hata ground breaking ya nyumba za mabati has not happened.Uhuru should just go back to Ruto and together continue insulting Baba in matangas and stop pretending to be looking for legacy. Legacy to me is money in my pocket. Hiyo ingine ni yao


Let kumira kumira thurakus eat their jeuri...wacha okuyo na kaleos wakule jeuri yao ya 2017

Trade PS (Dr. Kiptoo) was in the media explaining why they cannot do anything to help poultry farmers who are under attack from EAC farmers.

The end result, poultry farming and supporting business will close shop leading to massive job loses especially in Kiambu (Thika & Wangige will be worst hit).

When govt does not protect few available commercial activities, then it must deal with less tax, unemployed youths,increased insecurity, etc.
