Second pillar of the coalition – UCHUMI ( Economy)
Growth and Development: Building an enterprise economy
The Coalition Government will:• Promote the creation of a Single East African Market (SEAM), totally phasing out tariffs and barriers among East African Community member countries and moving towards the creation of a single regional currency.
• Target a 7-10 per cent growth rate in the first two years of the Jubilee
• Government in order to create 1 million new jobs for our youth.
• Cut waste and fight corruption so that public resources are spent wisely
• and properly.
• Reduce the public deficit so that the Government spends more money on services instead of paying off Kenyas debts.
• Keeping the exchange rate stable and control the flow of money into the economy in order to lower interest rates and keep inflation in check.
to paraphrase an article in the DN,
'I cannot think of a more fitting epitaph for the Jubilee administration’s reign of hubris and blunder, plunder and squander, than the rest of the term spent savouring copious helpings of humble pie in an IMF straightjacket. Choices do have consequences. Sobering.' Even for jubilee's 'wretched of the earth' apologists.
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. –Albert Einstein.
