If you steal 100m you can buy a house or build two 6 floor flats. If the 100m was to be shared among the 50m kenyans each would get 2 bob which would end up put in some cupboard somewhere and forgotten, or one would buy some peremende that would melt in the mouth in 2 minutes. Meanwhile building the 2 flats would have sustained alot of people in the supply chain and permanently contributed to the big 4 housing agenda.
I have never agreed with that analogy.
The government is supposed to use the money to create an enebling environment for us to generate wealth. These fundis are paid peanuts which will only ensures the poverty cycle continues. And don't forget that this houses the thieves are building will never benefit us yet we have to repay the loans that build these houses from our taxes lest we mortgage our ports to the Chinese.
So, you do not share the 50m amongst Kenyans, you build a bridge to enable them take their produce to the market faster.
BBI will solve it :)
