  • David Ndii: Jubilee promised 57 dams, it has not completed any, at most 1. Why? Because those dams are competing with other things on the budget and they are competing from the same lenders. We can never do more than 2 or 3 dams in a 5-year period

    So according to Ndii, the problem with Kenya is to "widen" the tax base. So how are you going to widen this tax base when a large percentage of the youth are unemployed? I would have said that unemployment should be the first priority, THEN tax base. My opinion.

    • @bkibui
      @bkibui Před rokem +4

      You're response shows how minimal your understanding of economics is. Tax is not limited to employment. Even as at now only around 40% of the employed citizens are on PAYE in Kenya. Many people employed in jua kali, matatu, agriculture, tourism and other low income earners do not pay PAYE which makes the government increase costs of commodities such as fuel and VAT on items to recover. Lastly, if you expect the Government to provide jobs, you are naïve. The role of government is to create an environment to do business, engage partners and invite investors to the country which in turn creates employment. Those unemployed youth still engage in betting, consumption of alcohol and purchase of goods, meaning they have money. Priorities ndio mbaya.

      @@bkibui Boss, you have just revealed how much of an ignoramus you are in economics. Let me point out just one thing. Nowhere in my comments did i say that the government provide jobs, my jinga friend. It is NOT the governments job to provide jobs. Nope! But, it is the governments job to create an ENVIRONMENT conducive to private sector creating jobs. And what is a conducive environment? If you look at the US, you will find things like very low business taxes and startup fees. You will find very generous tax breaks for business. For example, you can take a client to lunch in the US, keep that receipt, and take it off your taxes at the end of the year. Ever heard of that in Kenya? You will find low interest loans for business. THAT is what i mean when i say that the government needs to focus on employment. What i am saying is that the government needs to focus on measures that promote employment in the private sector. READ between the lines mofo. Stop being a shallow minded person.

      Since the advent of modern governments and economic tools as engine for planning, regulation and developing economies. There have obviously been numerous lessons over centuries on how to mitigate the worst scenarios or on the flipside harness growth. Since the recurrent theme seems to be or we are fated to face, due to our lack of or cleverly avoiding to address the core issues plaguing this country of poor or no governance on economic/financial issues. Since independence this has been the norm then question herein which we all seem to be skirting would be, can experienced experts like David tell us if it is possible or a myth to have a minimum rigid baseline economic governance structures to mitigate against bad regimes?
      Also to me it seems David herein and by default the Kenya Kwanza govt is deliberately refusing to articulate accountability issues that go alongside the numerous accusation of poor past decision by omission or commission. Pray how then can we fix our problems when obviously at the onset we seem to condone the same? Aren't we then forever condemning ourselves to a perpetual repeat of such gross economy sabotage as it were by few. Don't we owe the kenyan people at least some form accountability past and future? Also wouldn't this set proper precedents and increase market confidence which could be advantageous for the economy? Unless i am missing something, there is an obvious lack of commitment on part of current government to sustainably correct the trajectory or perhaps a hidden agenda for those in power now to gain from such. Clearly there is no advantage in sweeping every past mistake under the carpet.

      While I think David Ndíí is not honest in his condemnation of the government he was not part of, am impressed by lots of what he says is the planning of public projects in the current government. I wish we would insist on creating markets for our problems, and not to be intimidated by cries if “ho, you are privatizing water.” Creating markets for water can be done in a way that provides everyone an opportunity to invest in the provision of water.

    Kudos to the person who sent a question about corruption. As government officials try to enforce ever-expanding tax clauses, they need to be accountable for public coffers, which is essentially the outlay of tax revenue. On the same note, Kenyans need to ask themselves if it’s in their interest to fund packs of political officials at current levels. It’s a big budget item, and one that’s bound to grow unreasonably due to unreasonable retirement packs for a rapidly growing class of very young beneficiaries.

Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Somalia all collapsed during that era except us...why ?? Because of Moi. Schools, hospitals, universities were the best in East Africa during that era. Please read up on some actual history and not just blindly believe what some blabbermouth screams out at a rally as fact.

    The main priority in agriculture is stable, adequate supply of water . Dishing out fertilisers to farmers against a backdrop of climate change which alters predictable rain patterns is blatantly foolish .
    The amount of money spent on fertilisers should have been used to sink boreholes across each and every ward in Kenya. The obsession with fertiliser subsidies cannot increase yields unless you prioritise on water supply.

And of course contract statisticians to model the results with the largest number of variables accounted for, to see which change has a higher impact on revenue collection with minimal impact on growth prospects. At last our politics is moving to the important things...

      We are overtaxing incomes and putting exemptions on items which is the reverse of good economics
      The highest net worth individuals should contribute more fairly and not punitively but they mostly pay the lowest in most countries
      This will improve revenues by a big margin especially on the corporate part
