CRY, FOR OUR AFRICA!

If you look at many African countries on the day before independence & after, you will wonder what went wrong!

Ghana & Zimbabwe were highly developed with excellent education & transport infrastructure. And world class agriculture & mining. After independence, both have been downhill since.

Others like DR Congo, Liberia, both Sudans, Sierra Leone, both Guineas, Gabon et al have the most abundant natural resources in the world but what can they show us? Civil strife & abundant poverty. Only their leaders live in opulence with homes abroad. Some are Belgian citizens!

Nigeria with abundant oil & 300m people can’t even have running power or water supply. With so much arable land & many rivers, Nigeria imports tomatoes from Italy! Years ago, Thailand took palm oil trees seedlings from Nigeria. Thailand is now the world biggest palm oil producer. Nigeria once produced 40% of world palm oil; now zero!

South Africa, Namibia & Botswana have maintained their economies even after independence. South Africa is still Africa’s biggest & most advanced economy.

Ethiopia & Burkina Faso are the only countries where charismatic leaders forever transformed them in less than four years. Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso & Meles Zenawi. With no natural resources, Ethiopia is poised to be in top 20 world economies by 2040!

Africa has refused to develop because after independence, we started revolving thieving leaders. Sankara & Zenawi died without having stolen One Dollar from their countries. And so was Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. Transformative leadership is founded on moral character with no stain.

Africa has a long way to go!

There is nothing wrong with a country having a long term plan, but politicians often use slogans such as Vision 2030, Vision 2050 and Vision 2060 to push accountability far beyond the next election.

A leader who cannot fix broken hospitals, rising food prices, unemployment, corruption, failing schools and heavy taxation will suddenly begin describing the beautiful country citizens should expect several decades later.

By the time that distant deadline arrives, the politician is gone, the promises have been renamed, the failures have been forgotten and another government has launched a fresh document carrying another future date.

Nigeria once promised that Vision 20:2020 would place the country among the world’s twenty largest economies, yet the deadline passed with unemployment, weak public services and economic hardship still shaping daily life.

Kenya launched Vision 2030 in 2008 with promises of industrial growth, higher incomes and better living standards, yet the country is approaching that deadline with many families poorer, businesses closing and public debt rising.

President William Ruto inherited that unfinished plan, added the Bottom Up agenda, promised cheaper food, affordable housing, universal healthcare, millions of jobs and lower borrowing, then replaced missed targets with fresh launches and distant deadlines.

That is why talk of Vision 2060 should worry Kenyans when the government has not solved the problems facing citizens in 2026, including hospital bills, school fees, unemployment, hunger and collapsing small businesses.

A hungry family does not need a booklet describing affordable food thirty years from now, and an unemployed graduate does not need another presidential speech promising jobs after several future elections.

Real development means fixing hospitals now, paying suppliers now, reducing waste now, supporting farmers now, lowering electricity costs now and stopping public money from disappearing through inflated tenders and protected officials.

Ruto asked Kenyans for power to solve the problems they face today, not to write promises for citizens who may never live long enough to judge whether Vision 2060 delivered anything.

Vision 2060 can wait, since Kenya in 2026 is already burning under high taxes, unemployment, corruption, debt, failing services and a government that keeps replacing results with slogans.

An entire architecture dedicated to backsh*ts? How freaky were these ancestors? 😩

[Uswahilini @wairuma]

So Dennis Itumbi used to rat on Uhuru to Ruto and he’d pay him 300k? By his own admission on Jeff Kuria TV, he gave an example when he put President Kenyatta on speaker and after confirming his intel, DP Ruto gave him KES 1m in cash. He bought a plot with it, na sasa amejenga na anaitia Jeff Kuria mbuzi ya kufungua nyumba. Same story with Kimani Ichung’wa who was given 5 million by Rigathi Gachagua in crisp new Kenyatta shillings.
