To the founder members and leadership of The Equitable Party, Ahsanteni sana. We embark on this new and exciting journey as @LindaMwananchi_ together. God bless!
We told Sifuna he should have his Own party, He listened
We told Sifuna , He should be the Party Leader, He listened
We told Sifuna Aisha Jumwa is not invited in Linda Mwananchi, He listened
We told Sifuna not to attend the joint kitengela rally(was not a bad idea, though it's still early), he listened
We are now telling sifuna that he must be on the ballot as a presidential candidate, he is listening
HE listens to us, we want a listening president
Edwin Sifuna: They tried to strangle me in the streets while arresting me. They also went away with my blue T shirt. Just return it to me. It has sentimental value.
The Thika Superhighway cost approximately KSh32 billion. Today, its economic value is visible every time a truck moves goods faster, a farmer reaches a market, a business cuts transport costs or a commuter saves hours on the road. That is what intelligent public borrowing looks like: you borrow, build an asset, expand economic activity and generate returns long after the money has been spent.
Now consider the Ruto administration. Since taking office, approximately KSh4.25 trillion has been added to Kenya's public debt, with medium-term borrowing approaching KSh5 trillion.
The question Kenyans must ask is simple: WHAT HAVE WE BUILT WITH ALL THIS DEBT?
Where is the equivalent investment in manufacturing capacity? Where are the transformative agricultural investments, energy infrastructure, water systems, transport networks and human capital investments that should expand our productive economy?
Borrowing is not inherently bad. Borrowing to build productive assets is sound economic policy. Such investments should create jobs, lower the cost of doing business, expand the tax base, increase national productivity and generate economic returns that justify the liabilities incurred.
But when borrowing increasingly finances recurrent expenditure, waste, fiscal leakages and projects with little demonstrable economic return, the country is left with the debt but without the wealth to show for it.
A government cannot keep presenting the amount of money borrowed as evidence of development.
Kenyans deserve a public balance sheet that answers three fundamental questions: How much have we borrowed? What tangible and productive assets have we created? What measurable economic returns will enable future generations to repay these loans?
You cannot mortgage the future of a nation and call the accumulation of liabilities economic transformation.
The real measure of public borrowing is not how much money government has raised, but how much productive national wealth it has created.
If anything about yesterday is to go by it's just how spot on and politically correct young people in this country are!
And to those that keep doubting us, scolding us, questioning us and bullying us because of how we choose to support, show up and express ourselves we will not bow down to the status quo we want to change!!
Mole metre ya LMM iko strong sana buana! Nyinyi ni wa nguvu sana!
Tuko LMM Party HQ. Karibuni sana, mimi ndio nawakaribisha leo!
The Tshirt Revolution will deliver the Sifuna Presidency!
