Kenya can still pay 20% of the debt with China by levying import duty on Chinese goods that enter Kenya as dumping.

This levy can be got from items as phones and accessories, TVs and accessories, Computers and accessories, cosmetic products, hardware that are locally available, shoes and clothing, and finally foodstuffs.

If this import duty or part of it is kept specifically to pay the debt we can end up somewhere.

Govt must seal all routes where these goods come from.

The best Business in Kenya by Kenyans and foreigners is to import anything without control thereby helping China and killing Kenyan industries.

Why should we pay Loans from our pockets and not use the money we charge chinese for selling their products to us. We may seem boiled and must do it smart.

Everything now is from China, where does import duty paid by China go to?

How much is that Chinese import duty per year and why it is not being used to pay for Chinese loans to us?

Alibaba came to sell his products not to preach business to Kenyans.

India may as well fall in same line if we have loans from them.

It is impossible to beat China in manufacturing. We can try the duty thing kidogo but my main concentration would be on things that we have that Chinese want. Unfortunately we have been poisoned by Mzungus to our own detriment. Chinese are 1.4 billion people and for some reason they love weird things like Rhino horns, elephant tusks etc. Na sisi wajinga kwa sababu mzungu amesema hii biashara ni mbaya we burn ivory so as to destroy the trade. Hii ni ujinga ya aina gani. Someone is willing to pay money for ivory to increase his libido or whatever they use it for na sisi tunachoma. We have things that these people need and they have money to pay. We should be concentrating on these things.

These are areas I would focus on:

Punda farming: The Chinese somehow love donkey hides for I don't know what. Donkeys are easy to keep and there is two thirds of the country that is semi arid where these things can survive. Instead of wasting money trying to attract stingy chinese tourists let us develop and gain the highest price for what we already have. Let us build a brand in China so that they know that the highest quality donkey whatever they like is Kenya. Zebras are also not very different from donkeys and we should develop a market for them. These things just roam about freely and if there is a market they can be sustainably harvested.

There are farmers in Murang'a who are fighting with monkeys every day as they invade their shambas. Let us turn these tragedies into opportunities. It is illegal to kill these things because of stupid colonial laws. Repeal those laws and allow people to kill and farm them. The Chinese will eat anything and I am sure will find those ones from Aberdares very tasty. Same things with roaming dogs.

Trade is about supply and demand. Let us find what we have that the Chinese need and let us provide it. Manufacturing, hatuwezi toboa.

They should be allowed to train local brewers. I suspect that was ethanol they had distilled not methanol...

We have the resources, we will pay - just increase taxes of betting, beer, cigarettes, airtime & financial transactions. We are good to go.

How is the "patriotism tax" going?
