@Trackmann2 Finally, someone has said it.

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@stevaodero @Mukiteee @AnganaKeith ideally yes, but let's be realistic the govt usually has more than 300B, because parliament caves to whatever the regime wants. Statehouse receives billions and any remaining money is used based on political interests, even when its in the budget it doesn't get spent as intended

@stevaodero @Mukiteee @AnganaKeith Eliminate the bursary program and send it directly to the education sector and ensure that county govt also do their fare share in improving the infrastructure from their own allocations.

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@stevaodero @Mukiteee @AnganaKeith Why are we not considering that population growth is not only occurring at the student level, it also means more kenyans/taxpayers, and more consumers meaning greater economic output. We can afford it even if we prioritize education and streamline its funding

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@StrenjaDenja2 That fiscal reality will never sink in when we spend more on politics, govt recurrent expenditure and devolution. The truth is so many things the govt runs aren't affordable, we just prioritize everything else and neglect the key sectors

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@denniskioko The main thing Kenya can't afford is our political and governance system. One national govt and 47 county govts all receiving money, all having staff thats heavily paid is not it. This is the one fact we must deal with. The country is not rich and we must stop acting like we are

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@kkmwamburi Yes, but all economic decisions/policies flow from political choices made by the voter at the ballot. Its unfortunate but true hence why people need to know that their life is literally on the line whenever we head to an election.

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@Mukiteee @AnganaKeith Partial reason, but we are considering that the govt is prudent in its expenditure. However, thats not the case and we know it, we have taken on more debt to finance recurrent wage and political spending rather than focus on the key sectors such as health/education

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@Mbwesaa Plus the remittances will produce significant income disparity since only a very small percentage of the population gets them leading to rising inflation thereby driving up the cost of goods, further burdening the rest of the country. Its already whats happening currently

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@denniskioko The current regime has the same billions, but its being used elsewhere to do politics and other shenanigans. But its alarming that it is adults who benefitted from the govt prioritising education that are using this stupid logic of population growth makes education unaffordable

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@wsjd21 So much wastage and we're blaming population growth, when it is actually one of the reasons we should be able to afford to fund every sector

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@JeiKiarie I wonder why this is so difficult to understand. It's like politics 101, even now the very thing that makes him worth anything is because the mountain is listening to him

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@AnganaKeith Hata iyo pesa ipo sai, but it will never reach uni students since other things like politics are prioritized. Even if Kenya's population hits a 100 million, with taxes growing at the same rate, basic sectors can still be funded if there is no wastage.

@ItsChanzu Right on every count

@carolinespencer Politicians mirror their electorate. The people remain the problem

[agosto mlei @faustin_Ag]

@BrGikonyo Yes and yet we can still afford our political system, we can afford devolution and all its loopholes that literally ensure the country is losing billions with most not even hitting the economy and being stored in off shore accounts. But let's scapegoat population growth
