Where Did the Money Go? - Part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 11. 2019
- After a period of uncontrolled borrowing and the unveiling of several mega infrastructure projects, Kenya's government is increasingly finding itself in a tight corner as it has to balance the revenues collected by the Kenya Revenue Authority, which has continuously missed its collection targets, servicing of local and external debts which are falling due and public spending. For the latter, the challenges have resulted in a vicious war with county governments whose disbursements have often delayed, and spilt over to other arms of government, as recently exhibited by happenings in the country's judiciary.
In the midst of all this, one is left wondering, where did the money in East Africa's largest economy go?
In August, Africa Uncensored's John-Allan Namu hosted a panel of thought leaders on the matter at hand as well as tie-ins that include devolution and the full implementation of the constitution that the country promulgated in 2010.

Ndii is that sober,straight-talking uncle at a family crisis meeting!
When Ndii talks, you listen. There is always something attractive about what and how he says and tells issues.
Sincerity is attractive.
Good job Namu
Very short sighted fellow. How can one think we don't need the railway?

John Allan Namu is the gold standard of African journalism. Each one of these brilliant minds require a minimum 1 hour, just to lay down the basics. Where is part 2, 3 & 4?
All this conversation was debated before and during the 2017 election campaign. We asked where the approximately 6Trillion shillings borrowed by Jubilee had disappeared to. We then, correctly concluded that this money's, which the IMF and the World Banks had warned Kenya not to borrow the cheap Chinese Central Bank loans, which was careless and had high interest rates attached to them, and which Uhuru and his Government ignored and went ahead to borrow.
The Big Question still remains, where did all that money go? Did we waste all that money on the SGR? What about the promised roads and projects.
The answer still remains the same todate, in Uhuru Kenyatta's pockets and his ill run, greedy Government.
We said then and our views are unchanged to-date that Uhuru and his Jubilee Government are the most corrupt government in Kenya's History.
Let us not pretend we did not know all this hard facts.
David Ndii has been openly saying this before and during the 2017 election campaigns. But we never listen, we appointed a thief to watch over our interests, let us not be puzzled as to why we are in this impoverished sorry state.
It is our arrogance that sees our nation, you and I suffering the consequences of our bad choice. The bad choice we are all a contributing factor to, and are ripping her benefits while the benefactors are our corrupt rulling elite.
Being a Christian Nation, it may be easier to say, every man shall rip what he sow. Make no mistakes about it.
So who do we blame for our stupidity, God???????
Thats true Allan is definitely leading the pack
Provides more information than githeri media! Thanks Africa uncensored.
The Kenyan Media's slogan always is, "Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story".
@ghost town scarsface The bone I have with mainstream media is bias and doctoring stories
David Ndii, spot on! We should have disbanded the political administration
If I was to choose a President for Kenya, David Ndii will be my choice. A man value Kenya and the people and not money. Mr Ndii is a man can change Kenya. He is the man can deal with corruption because he is clean and no one can point a finger at him na wewe umenyakuwa. Mr Ndii will make sure the corrupt go to jail. In Kenya people like David Ndii are called fools because they are not thieves. People like David cannot be leaders because they lacks qualifications of being a thieve to be President, which is very sad.
Society is upside down in most westernized/europeanized countries in Africa
I love intelligent discussions like this. Every man on this table is well read and very informed.
How I wish our mainstream media would hold this kind of discussion not glorifying the political elites in the name of interview we always see. Waiting for part 2
John Allan Namu, great job. I like that you were asking for example to clarify what the panelists were saying. For example, when you asked Waiganjo to provide an example that supported the fact that some of the aspects of the devolved government design were violating the principles of the constitution. I would love to see more of these kind of interviews; they help us know where to begin to understand our woes as Kenyans.

Let me save your time, what you came here to hear starts at 28:28
Thanks bro, you've greatly saved my time
Thanks
@@mockingjay6762 Oops, , turned out that you are a siz 😁😁 so sorry
thankyou Brian
Thank you
Gentlemen I salute you, very mature talk, David Ndii you are very insightful, you never disappoint.
Let's share this widely and make sure everyone in our circles gets to hear this. I'm disappointed that this is not #1 trending yet Githeri media is what Kenyans want to hear. This deeply saddens me and I pray that we as Kenyans also change our mindsets and hunger for more constructive and intellectual conversations like these. Congratulations John on this brilliant job you're doing. We need more of this. God bless you. God bless Kenya 🇰🇪
Well spoken Kamau.We have become a nation of few billionaires and a mass of poor people.As hard working and enterprising as we are,state capture has dealt us a big blow.Thieving shamelessly has become the norm in our beautiful country.What a shame!
🤣🤣
Mr Ndii hayo ni maelezo mazuri kutoka kwenu. Yaliobaki ni wakenya kujua kwa pamoja aliye na uwezo wa kutekeleza hayo akiongoza uongozini.
Finally! A show that makes sense minus the theatrics. Excellent work
Brilliant minds ....we are blessed as a country to have such
Keep up the good work Bwana John Allan Namu and the team. We need these perspectives for a constructive national debate
This round table was way ahead of time. It touches every nook and cranny of 2021 day to day politics
These elite joined hands and threw down punguza mzigo...they are so good at fooling people
This is a great channel. Thanks John-Allan Namu for hosting great minds and allowing them, through your very professional journalism to share with us great content.
Thank you.
Round table of sharp minds. Many thanks to the panel for dissecting Kenya's economy whilst identifying where money is spent or misappropriated. Love this channel!
I love listening to David Ndii.
Congratulations Allan. We need more of this
I've learnt more about Kenya in this Video than from all TV Media Stations Combined .. thanks Allan
Its sad that non of the current mps can speak with such knowledge on a field that they are supposed to be champions.

Hey John, I really just want to applaud the work that Africa Uncensored is doing. I deeply appreciate your unrelenting goal of uncovering the truth that may be really imperceptible in mainstream media. Kudos guys! Keep up the good work. Africa Uncensored any day over mainstream news!
That's a profound discussion with no interruption. Respect. It's 1 year down the line. Please....we need more knowledge from them again.
Great minds. The discussion has made the state of the nation clear. We need a honest and genuine political leadership at the top, which will give tools to enable devolution to work.
I love this I would like to meet these people very briliant.
Dr David Ndii! This guy is truly an ECONOMIST!! Telling and arguing where the money went to!
This is so candid and in-depth ,good work Allan and Africa uncensored.
Very insightful conversation and moderation, well done Africa Uncesored. Waiting for part 2, and more of such conversations.
Waiting for part 2.. Very interesting conversation...
Ndiii description the best, my question to the panel is what then how should devolution fight back the elite in Nairobi
Allan Namu's voice is soo calm and soothing and very intelligent mind,great conversation
He's a very professional journalist, sober minded.
I wish for more of these interviews.
Next time Allan at least bring water for your guest on the table tafathali ama chai.
Great information, Thank you African Uncensored
Excellent show. I love it that each individual has the moral authority to talk into this issue... Even better is the calm, uninterrupted discourse... Very well moderated...
Peter Mutua its more of expertise than a moral standpoint
@@oscarosabinyifcca4367 while I agree with you, remember that our own government(s) are inundated with individuals who have at least as much if not more expertise than these gentlemen.
Part 2 should be released very soon. That was a great appetizer.
wow... David ndii did (haha) an eye opener there on where the money went...the country is broke...
Listening to David Ndii; I appreciate knowledge and intelligence
I've learnt a lot and still learning, conversations like these are so insightful
Mr. Ndii really knows his nummbers..
That motion was too powerful,,,it led me to understand what happened to our colonial political and mind that is true because our Kenyan politics are just benefits for them instead of dan there work according to their roll ,, thanks for good job John big up
Very educational. Now I see the importance of the MCAs and devolution in general
Can we keep up? This is the right way to go.
I feel like the money never made it to the country
The guys sitting at the round table and others are indeed brilliant. We will continue to do the talking and the leaders will continue to steal, the sad thing is, those who are stealing are known and are walking freely, and you wonder is this country running without leaders ? Even baba after receiving his share of sick money, is not barking anymore.
This country will be saved by the grace of God Almighty. Please pray from your hearts and blessings will be showered on us.
Far from media theatrics and sensationalism. A candid and objective discourse session this was. My hope in the intelectual and rational character of this nation stays alive.
Today's everything is brilliant, but nothing is done..
an excellent interview with a superb moderation
Great discussion. I would watch more of this insightful discussion on real issues than the madness on our tvs. The panellists are very sober and really understand the issues really well.
Best ever show
Kudos Namu for the great work
Amazing the numbers are fascinating this government has failed in many aspects. Also i tend to disagree with the notion that the counties need a county institution to check the management of funds. These institutions will be appointed by governors who intend to waste the funds.
Excited for part 2.
Hi thank you Allan for the information, also cover the debt that we have with China and contract
The problem we have in Africa is Mental Colonisation, it does not matter how many institutions are formed, if we do not decolonise our minds we will always sabotage any progress. We think like our colonisers and not like Africans before they came.
A very enlightening conversation on how we got here, the dilution of the constitution as Mr. Kamotho puts it can described as what they call in SA state capture. The economy of the whole country/47M is made to serve the interest of the few elite. If this is not a form of colonization, then what is it?!
You knew that as an economic analyst David Ndii. Better Dr Man'geli who died sticking to his guns challenging the status quo and history has vindicated him albeit sad.
Mature discussion by great men. Meaty content than what we watch on Telly
Sasa JAN....yaani you’ve decided to just be looking good in all cuts? Wow wow....my love to Kena and kidoz.
The legitimacy of Administrative and Corrupt Media will also crumble. Real Debate, uncensored and informative.
VERY INFORMATIVE DISCUSSION. The question I will like you to ask on part 2 is; Is there a way out of this economic mess? How long will it take to be back on our feet?
Great job Allan 👍🏽
Thank you John. You are doing great.
wow these guys are oozing with sober perspective to issues
While the country is busy with Succession politics, Ruto2022 and BBI, the constitutional crisis is imploding the economy. Very Depressing.
Great content. Informed cast. Well done 👏
when is the release date for the second part? very insightful discourse
Mmmh...good conversation but Ndii's assertion on the reduction of revenue as % of GDP from 18% to 14% doesn't take into account ;
1. Rebasing of GDP in 2014
2. Rate capping in 2016
Great content...Keep it up!
Good stuff!
Allan great discussion. Unda sound lakini..Kuna echo na mic rubbing on clothes
Where's part 2 ???🔥🔥🔥
Very insightful discussions
Such bright minds but impractical in the way the country is managed.
Where is part two... this is so sweet ,
Railway helps all kenya who can't fly to Mombasa like ndii
The current government has failed its people choices have consequence Kenya is heading to totaly crush interms of where our economy stands
Profound.
It’s pretty simple you increased duty to a level where Kenyan products are now not affordable regionally. Business have come to a halt. We used to have merchants coming all the way from east and central Africa. With regional trade money came in and flow of money was in plenty. Now our neighbours prefer to buy goods from Uganda including us Kenyans bearing in mind UG is land locked depends on our waters and more neighbours preferring to do business withTanzania why? Their products are more cheaper surpassing Kenya. So no more money is coming in Kenya until we revise our rates. The little we have left is being sent to China and other creditors outside to pay debts. So basically we are being left with nothing.
Mr President take advantage of the port reduce or make it free to import goods especially for goods that are not locally produced or available. Wait and see traders coming all the way from Cameroon to buy in Kenya than taking a flight to China, this will increase revenue in the country. If it is taxes you want to collet so bad make it minimum through VAT from traders. Haba na haba hujaza kibaba. Kenyan goverment is stupid to think that heavy taxation is success no you actually destroying our economy.
True!Heavy taxes is just a turn off!!Anywhere in the world.
The only thing heavy taxation aids is increased belt-tightening by individuals and private businesses. High costs of operation mean more layoffs, less people even capable of spending money, lower PAYE earnings to government...the list is endless.

Very sober!
Very informative but its very unfortunate that we still have people who'll vote for the DP. We need mental freedom n serious social education on how our choice on the ballot affects each one of us and the country at large. There is no difference between the president and his deputy, its a dual that has messed the country so much so that the effect will be felt 15 years later.
Viva! Revolution
bro exactly what we need 🇰🇪😥😥

This made me understand alot
Hii ni mavi legacy it has killed the coastal economy now its killing the country
Eye opening discussion that soberly breaks down our issues. This sort of round table adds more value than countless interviews we see in mainstream media news shows at 9pm which are just PR exercises to give individuals a platform to misdirect attention
How come I've never heard of this forum?!! Is it a recent channel on CZcams?!!
You are sleeping on good content. This channel been here for a while now
Mbona msilete kwa citizen tv
Good talk .. but poor 3rd world economy.. that doesn't even have unga ..yet kuna governors..senators..mps.. mca.. stupid thegary... Nigeria loading..in kenya.. wanjiku will get it tuff
David Ndii knows it well.
This is good insight. Do the counties generate any income themselves?
Yes, they do. The collect fines, fees for various licences, parking, market fees, cess, charges when people seek their services, land rates, grants from the national govt and other financial institutions, loans etc
Yes but through collections that may squeeze the mwananchi more
Thumbs up.
gr8 job ..... alot has changed in 3 months since you recorded. kindly address
