As a young Kenyan im inspired by the fact that we have great minds within our borders.
The solutions for our problems are within.
Spice, you need to allocate more time for experts like David ndii.
Am zambian can you please put this man on a plane and come to zambia we implement some of his policies. The situation room was lectured to today. Brilliant mind is of this man.👏👏👏💯
Very few Economists, even globally,.can tie the shoe laces of Dr Ndii in matters Economics
😂😂😂
Brilliant powerful educative. Bless you
Truth be told very few media houses will call upon this guy, I have learned a lot from listening to him.
Brilliant!!! Well simplified, the complexity of bottom up demystified. It is D-O-A-B-L-E.
I never tire of listening to Dr. Ndii. 🙂
This is a very brilliant kenyan.i hope ruto will listen to this man ndii.
David's articulation of ideas leaves you smiling. The guy is a knowledge powerhouse
You are smiling because he's a UDA supporter like you.
@@johnmwakilili even when he was with NASA economists from Jubilee respected him
@@johnmwakilili don't be shallow, man.
I was a little disappointed by the line of questioning but I'm also realising that its very necessary so that the conversation is digestible by all. so asking the questions has essentially made this interview useful to all , even those who aren't economist or political scientists. thank you
Really like your way of thinking
Thank you Ndii for unpacking the bottom-up concept.Brilliant!
Minister for economy and Planning
It's my humble plea to the government of the day, to use such brains to have evaluations on economic investments and not employ clowns for their personal interests. DR. Ndii is a resourceful man!
Brilliant! Just the great discussion on the economy!!
Very clear and encouraging..... Lets implement this great ideas.....
Dr Ndii, Spot on ..... educate us on the hidden/or blended dynamic DNAs of our economy.
Eye opening conversation. Excellent job guys.
Excellent. Very well put and spot on.
I wish this guy could appear on mainstream stations to explain the model.
Very educative and easy to follow…brilliant!
Love this great brilliant Kenyan.Daktari Ndii wonderful!!
Very good.... hope it works
I love it!
I wonder why UDA can't put this guy in front of more media houses. He explains the bottom up model better than most of these UDA loud mouths.
He has been put severally, uko Kenya gani? Unless of course it's the media which prevents from doing so.
Which one the biased media houses.
i suspect the main media may not want ndii to open the minds of kenyans and vote uda in. dont forget that main media is part of cartel in this country.
@@unlockwithjsr of he has been put why are you saying the media is preventing him from doing so? Isn't this the media?
@@unlockwithjsr that guy is only glued to githeri-media houses!
Thanks for sharing
Dr. U r such a resourceful personality!
Great mind.
David Ndii is very brilliant
I didn't expect to spend an hour plus here. Take a bow Ndii
Very brilliant mind ,..
David Ndisanze brilliance in economics is unmatched. I agree that Bottom up economics is a game changer for the common man. It is an idea whose time is now. I pray you guys succeed and implement it
*David Ndii
Case study srilanka......kwisha
We all know they won't. The ideas, as good as they sound are a means to an end. Nobody can steal government money without being in government to get legal access to it.
is it still a game changer😂😂😂
Ndii is a patriot...brilliant .its said the people will perish because of lack of knowledge
Macro Economics made Simple.
that is eye opening
Very enjoyable
Wow!
This makes alot of sense
Kenya's problem is not a shortage of brilliant ideas but shortage of honest and competent implementers.
If UDA gets elected there should be a key man clause that Ndii has to be part of government.
But we know they won't coz brainpower makes corruption harder and they don't need that.
"This kind of talk is meant to denigrate intellectual work as not as important as government apparatchiks. If you don’t value intellectuals in society just shut up! We have a right to be what we choose. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS." - David Ndii
if your brilliant idea is messing up somebody's money, good luck implementing it. Remember when the former EACC chair said once you fight corruption it fights back.
the points he is making politics aside, are eye opening
He is the man .
Dr David Ndii saying as is. Well searched
Deconcentrate Capital. This problem has happened in the US which is losing its middle class, with government focusing on rescuing the large cooperates. The cost of making a manufacturing job is interesting. I hope the Ruto Regime gives you a job and allows you to implement these types of policies. We really need this. Prof Ndia has made it very easy to understand the economic issues by articulating them simply.
This guy is a passionate economist and very knowledgeable but he should agree with Ruto about this economy cause of poor crisis. I see a brilliant mind on David ndii
I don't know how I did not come across this platform earlier instead of the garbage we have on tvs of late
hustler nation. this guy is bright
Nothing but the truth
this is why i love the internet. where is ndii now. 😂😂
I'm a long term fan of this very intelligent gentleman. He has taught me so much over the years - I know him personally. If only he wasn't putting his trust in people who are presently in court defending themselves on accusations of mega-corruption.
If they had Dr Ndii as their Presidential candidate,I would vote for him without question.
How Ruto managed to bag him is a mystery.. If they deliver the plan the country will be a first world in 10-15yrs
No mystery. Money talks
First world is a big reach, we'll never get there as long as theres this much corruption and disunity in our country. We have a very long way to go but this hopefully is a good path we are on as a nation.
Please talk about the mark vs production
These are just dancers for hire. There is no song or dance they like or dislike....pay them and they will dance to your tune
@@ranjusranjus143 let's see what happens... There is very little room for error this time round.
What Dr Ndii is saying is very true. The Kenyan economy runs on five levels. You have the international economy which serves the expats, the wealthy economy which serves the elite, the upper middleclass economy, lower middle class economy and the mama mboga economy. Each of these economies can be enjoyed in different areas in Nairobi. A foreigner actually pointed this out to me. I had never even thought of this before then. A quick confirmation of what Dr Ndii is saying, is walk into a Naivas supermarket in different regions of Nairobi. You'll be amazed by what you find on the shelves. This Kenya Kwanza team may actually have the people's interest at heart.
Jomo, its sad that you never learnt these in school, its a common course.
What Ndii has done is just changing some terms to fit the Kenyan situation. E.g Proletariat with Mama Mboga
I, however, accept Ndii has tackled the Bottom Up topic very well. I have even wondered why UDA/Kenya Kwanza has not been bringing him to the tv discussions and instead bringing Alice to shame them
Politicians in Kenya do NOT have interest of wananchi at heart. Its their own interest. Even Jubillee used to walk to kiosks and take soda, roadside maize vendors and eat maize and we thought they have wananchi interest ..but whoa
No they don't.
Big brain... tooo big
This is what i would suggest to create jobs is the govt should propose that every ward should have a computer lab whereby anybody from that ward can go online to get knowledge or information on anything they are interested in, learn computer skills on their own like coding or how to build a website or app, create their own jobs, build something, get knowledge on something they would like to build, get information on the latest agri practices if they have a piece of land and want to make it productive which types of crops to grow the benefits are immense. Also, it would cut down on idleness for the many youths who have nothing to do, they can go to a computer lab and occupy themselves there and you never know what this can do. Take online classes some of which are free or very low cost. Thsi would be a game changer.
Every county should provide the land for the computer labs in each ward. A certain percenatage of funds going to counties should be allocated to building the labs. The CDF fund should be used also to help build the computer labs after all you are educating not just a few students but the masses can have access to information and skills. The fee that is a percentage of profits that telecom companies pay to govt , that money should be used to help build and equip these labs.
All govt agencies, companies , households should be encouraged to deliver their used or old computers to be refurbished and donated to these labs. The labs can also have online courses whereby one can pay a minimal fee to study an online course of choice. Imagine the number of students who do not get a university place or basically do not want to go to UNI and feel they are better pursuing their passion can go online and persue their passion in whatever subject that interest them for a minimal fee. some courses are even free.
When you get a lesson in economy, not expecting a saviour with no plan. WAKENYA AMKENI
This guy puts into words and perspective something not easily seen from within. My only problem is, how will you allocate those resources towards that? Thats usually when the fighting starts.
It is not just capital + cost of doing business, it is also how organized or prepared is "the potential - people and skills" of scaling out (or crowding out) the wealth. And how long will it to change to that mindset that works for people? It took time, effort, strategy and commitment for the Asia Tigers and China to figure this out!
He just said that we ‘are in a colonial legacy’ that we need to unshackle from… or did that skim over your comprehension?
He said the minimum is a high school graduate,we have that
Dr. Ndii, address CORRUPTION! Leave meandering around the truth. We're not in a Lecture hall!
Please believe this guy Ndii. He knows what he is saying. Any country that has boomed in recent times eg Singapore, S Korea etc has done so by redirecting resources from elite towards enabling/applying the energies of the majority
So then, will those holding the capital accept the change of statuesque situation?
Ndii should be in any government that wins the forthcoming general election be it be UDA or AZIMIO. We need such great brains and competence.
Can we now talk about this after the demonstration and his statements on gen z?
Because the first families are in the banking system they are minting money why should they redistribute money.
Hapo Sasa ndii
Things work out if you follow rules of experience and expert advice, if you don't you get current Kenya
I would have preferred a thousand expressways than the sgr. since the expressway is going to be paid by those who it will benefit than the sgr which we all paid for
What did you say about that fuliza interest rate?
To think that he will be under the likes of Sudi is mindboggling
Not under but WITH the likes of Oscar sudi..... It's either he will resign or become like them
Great minds if implemented
I cant understand the Ruto-Ndii marriage; other than every has a price and Ruto met it.
lord of poverty aka Mr KEMSA project ya mr pandora aren't smart after all. With all the resources a sitting prezo na former PM got beat by their junior 🤣🤣🤣 blue imepotea kama clouds🤣🤣
@@johnmwakilili He will be under them because politicians will most likely be the CSs and he might be a PS (technocrat/economic advisor).
The “elite” do not have a problem with the bottom-up economy mr. Ndii. They have a huge problem with the credibility of its leading promoters.
I dont know why UDA is obsessed with them vs us. With they way he carries on, you would even be forgiven for forgetting he is an 'elite' himself.
Betting on a loser is the most depressing thing ever 🤣🤣
@@tukutanechuom3366 , As a matter of principle, I do not bet. I am guided by those very strong principles such that it is never about loosing or winning.
It is about what I think of what you stand for vis-à-vis what I ascribe.
Hence, as far as I am concerned, my candidate is still a winner even outside State House.
This is idle conversation can't comment
All what he is saying is null and void so long as you don't fight corruption. Let him answer ho he come to join Ruto if not money
lord of poverty aka Mr KEMSA project ya mr pandora aren't smart after all. With all the resources a sitting prezo na former PM got beat by their junior 🤣🤣🤣 blue imepotea kama clouds🤣🤣
Sijaskia mama mboga, kinyozi na watu wa nduthi
Hao umetaja Wana fall under micro and small enterprises. Hawataenda kwa banks kuomba hustlers loan, bali watatumwa waende kwa saccos ndio ikue rahusi kupata, unlike uwezo, and youthfund.
Where did our activists go
Brilliant but you cannot rubbish corruption and almost all corrupt guys have found shelter in Kenya kwanza. There will be very little change if any.
If Kenya kwanza can implement this idea then in the next 15 years Kenyans will be stable
Am i agreeing with the philosophy of ''bottom up''' ....Yes. State has been captured by the few capital owners. The example comparing the gun factory in Ruiru and the Garment factory in Kitui makes a lot of sense ......politics aside.
Very good ideas but what you refer to as "lazy argument aka corruption" is the big elephant in the room.
Ndii understands his field pretty well. But if you splash cash into the economy and it gets misused instead of being put into productive use, demand-pull inflation might suffice due to the high purchasing power of citizens. Those who take up loans issued by the government must be trained and equipped with entrepreneurial skills and driven out of kiosk mentality.
Actually he suggested empowering them by inputs rather than cash. They only pay at harvest time.
Mr. Ndii is not an economist nor is he a political mr. Fix it. Like his friend
Ngunyi Mutahi, Ndii is a shrewd businessman. He knows what side of the bread is buttered-and chooses shrewdly and ruthlessly well.
The gun factory reduce the import of guns it was a smart idea
Very good explanation in theory...very poor application and practice of the same 8 months into power. Masses of people much poorer, overtaxed and in despair. There is absolutely no hope to live in Kenya if you dont embrace corruption...and this is our demise. What we need is a massive revolution.
Serious assumptions
David Ndii you are a brilliant mind, but the people you associate with...
It's politics. Even RAO was demonized by one side of the divide now they are in bed together being the best of friends. There are no permanent friends in politics
CONCENTRATE WITH YOU CANDIDATE. STOP JUDGING
Kenya does not luck in economic policies. In fact, the 1969 Sessional Paper No. 10 that was adopted in Singapore made the latter to catapult from a "Third World" economy to a " First World "economy in barely 10 yrs. Bottom up model is a mere slogan to hoodwink the desperate poor lot of Kenyans. Ndii & Co. are only saying what is ears of the poor.
Who is here Today?
Hahaaa!
There was a time I used to like this Ndii with great mind then all of a sudden he disappeared to oblivion. Very educated, knowledgeable but maybe it depends on whose agenda he is propagating. Great ideas indeed, but!!
He's very good with words and his claim that Kenya's government is elite focused is correct
But he either doesn't really know how to change that situation permanently or he doesn't want to
Ndiis bottom up economic model makes the azimio manifesto a laughing matter surely.i am now coming to believe the uda manifesto,if only ruto will enable the political goodwill to effectually this wonderful plan.
Chameleon
Here's the question... What guarantee do the bottom of the model people have that David Ndii will still be relevant and useful to WSR AFTER the election? Politicians change their minds very quickly.
There are no guarantees in politics
Ruto's political interests align now with those of people but I don't know kama atatugeukia. We hope for the best 😁😁
THE PAYRAMIDS OF EGYPT (PAYRAMIDAL POWER) IS A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Capital is the problem. I have the skills to formulate herbs to treat virtually all the diseases of civilization but getting capital to start the business is the problem. I was diabetic and healed by herbal formulation. This spurred my desire for herbal remedies. We need NOT spend a fortune to treat our diseases. We need a change in our system .
There are brilliant minds in azimio and UDA who are more qualified than their party leaders but will never be able to reach their full potential...... If UDA wins I hope he's given a job and they LET him do it.
Fuata sugoi envelope pole pole, Mr professor 😎
There you have it. We have brilliant citizens who can see clearly between the lines instead of rehashing the same old tired lines. An economic model that is designed (rigged) to serve just a few people should no longer be tolerated- Continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different result is the definition of madness.
Bottoms up ni matako juu nothing else
Story za jaba
Trial and error
I HATE RUTO VERY MUCH but DAVID NDII that was just brilliant.
These ideas however well meant will become a cropper in the atavistic poker game of Kenya politics... reading the lineup of the new Kenya Kwanza Administration one does not see any figure therein ( from the antecedent predilections of those at its pinnacle ) who will show and or demonstrate any commitment to the views expressed by Dr. Ndii... Unfortunately a situation almost all akin to the teachings of Christ when he cautioned against placing the seeds on bare rocks or amongst thistles !!!
Ndii it's not about the bottom up approach. It's about the person propagating it that is our problem. UDA confused mwaninchi with the failure of their leaders to understand and explain the approah. Ndii next time
Ruto has an agenda. He is focused. Mzee is circled by hyenas who will be controlling his policies as he ages. Mzee is 80 years.
He said that politics is all about interests and you choose the politician whose interests align with the people not those who sit on us the so called 'system'.
Ruto has been spat out by the system his only hope is the people if he betrays us all his power disappears that is why he is the only person who can be at least expected to implement his bottom up plan in any case he is a son of a peasant unlike Azimio which represents our wealthy capitalist overlords
Moi moi
Eeeeeeeeexactly
lord of poverty aka Mr KEMSA project ya mr pandora aren't smart after all. With all the resources a sitting prezo na former PM got beat by their junior 🤣🤣🤣 blue imepotea kama clouds🤣🤣
BBI wanted to increase the distribution to the grassroots by increasing the county allocation from 15% to 35% which will be managed by MCAs through ward funds
9:11 On the gun factory vs garment factory example, in as much as we need industries to create massive employment, we also need highly technical industries to employ higher-skilled workers. Countries such as Malaysia are caught in the middle-income gap, partly because they cannot manufacture higher-value products such as Germany does
Explanation for bottom up economy is top notch but the reality 7 months later begs to differ. the cost of living has gone up and earnings have shrunk since your regime started. so as a bottom guy i don't see the results and care less about your professional explanations.
