The old man listened to hem intently an then advised: Why don't you also just take out your merchandise from the shop shelves and sell it from the veranda infront of your shop?
Why don't everready also just sell the cheap imports instead of whining from morning till evening!
That's the problem taking business advice from a jamaa who never ran a business but simply stole! kamau wa ngengi was used to taking 10% off the top, grab farms, use prison (free) labor, etc so what would he have known about running a store let alone an economy?
If not for the kaburus who left a functioning economy... Kenya would have hit rock bottom sooner.
Compare Singapore 1963-1978 with Kenya!
As for moi, the less said the better!
