"the demolitions were to make way for a sewerage plant... Northlands City, a Kenyatta (president’s) family investment. ...for expats and the upper ruling class... built at the expense of the Kenyan people, and for what? So that the rich are able to shit."

What type of decentralized MARKET economy is this? What explains the growing divergence between actual work and wages/salaries? #unemploment

Correction: Three-week total is actually an even worse 16.8 million after the revision to the prior week's data.

@CouragePW This is for Monday right? How about Tuesday?

@DavidNdii Lays out an ahistorical premise, then shoots it down. Nation-state system is founded an alliance of capitalists, an hegemony that has always been challenged but still lives on strong.

[fimbo @fimbo]

@DavidNdii sorry, below should be self-serving rather than self-servicing

[fimbo @fimbo]

@DavidNdii The focus on so-called manufacturing/processing industries is self-servicing - its nothing more than extracting raw materials (oils, diamonds) etc) for the foreign consumers

@missndungu @gathara @wmnjoya skills instead of knowledge is like saying dinner will focus on Sukuma wiki (collard greens) instead of Ugali (cornmeal).

@kopalo u care 2 much 4 MPs, so aspects of the job sucks, but so 2 do other jobs. The contemporary legislator is not an accountant or auditor 4 the executive, they SHOULD be the boss who provides the job description, duties & assignments, budget etc

[fimbo @fimbo]

@kopalo Liberal democracy is incoherent about parliamentary prerogative regarding "rule" of "law". Since passing real law is constitutionally bounded, legislators have become, as you imply, merely an auxiliary of the executive

[fimbo @fimbo]

@kopalo Hey Ken, of course the president "announces/gazettes etc." these things with "fun-fare" galore BUT which part of the executive bureaucracy is holding thing up? Isn't this ultimately on parliament to pressure them

[fimbo @fimbo]

@kopalo The bourgeoisie class "alliance of entrepreneurial capitalists, state bureaucrats, and technocrats who collectively pursue an economic development strategy that increases control of agricultural and industrial production" (Gavin Kitching, 1987) is safe.

@gathara I'm surprised you are not seeing the hand that pays the piper. Do U think it a coincidence that Tillerson has also just arrived in NBI?

[fimbo @fimbo]

@gathara Doesn't have to be- bet our international partners will take care of it. If the "think tanks" provides a sinecure 4 the "opposition" as good as govt, then OK, we can wait

@Nanjala1 @okothkenneth the entire program/matrix is predicated on averting revolution i.e smooth transition & continuity The deals r decades in the making, just taking longer for UK to deliver his end

[fimbo @fimbo]

@okothkenneth @Nanjala1 @okothkenneth u probably know more of the back story; but obviously @UhuruKenyarra blinked on instructions from Tillerson. @wmnjoya @scheafferoo @bonifacemwangi @RookieKE @daisyjerop @gathara

@gathara @theelephantinfo @bonifacemwangi A more elaborate treatment of your argument is available in Nobel laureate Amartya Sen's "Identity and Violence"

@gathara @theelephantinfo @bonifacemwangi I've replied arguing that tribe/identity is a 1) spontaneous 2) extralegal 3) governance structure, main active ingredient being tribal accents as shibboleths
