@GuluVarsity we had a few spare minutes to sketch something simple

Beijing has finally acknowledged we're in trade embargo territories!

[Infodrip @InfodripLtd]

China and US should proceed and issue a trade embargo. That Tariff madness is now unbecoming.

Washington is already on a trade surplus with Nairobi. From your analysis, America wants more trade with Kenya. Slapping 10% tariffs on goods from a country you seek more trade with is a weird way of doing business.

[Julians Amboko @AmbokoJH]

US President, Donald Trump, has announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs including the 10.0% baseline tariff applying to economies such as Kenya.

To make sense of what this means for Kenya, we need to understand what are Donald Trump's demands regarding Kenya from a tariff reciprocation standpoint.

Here are 10 things I think we all need to know.

A 🧵

[Infodrip @InfodripLtd]

Beijing has responded on the subject of reciprocal tariffs by Washington. China's State Council Tariff Commission is imposing 34% tariffs on all American goods from 10th April 2025.

hello GoK,
Uncle Sam is not doing all that to boost imports, he's focused on rekindling "Made in America".

Time to look for a new market, while remaining cognizant of the heightened competition as captured in the last sentence of your opening para.

On paper, they are supposed to spur establishment of production units in your country to avert the "expensive" import option.

In reality, you'll have to afford the new rates since the modern global village has no room for "self sufficiency".

Someone explain to me how these tariffs will make my life better

There might be some constitutional restrictions in wait. The CoK 2010 limits the cabinet secretaries to a max of 22. The creation of a minister of gender, culture, the arts & heritage tips the total number of cabinet secretaries to 23.

A simple answer (very simplified)

KUSCCO was a chama for SACCOs.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @mrwainaina_]

Why did so many saccos have large deposits at KUSCCO? Was it a requirement?

@jomaxdj @AmbokoJH Your purchases must register with etims under your pin and name. Else, they won't auto populate, and the system will not capture them.

A simple review of the taxation regimes targeting simple imports like petroleum fuel and motor vehicles will give clearer picture.

[Mwango Capital @MwangoCapital]

Anything higher than 10% for EU allows other players such as Asia, Africa, and South America to offer alternatives for avoidance...

[Infodrip @InfodripLtd]

Higher rates do not necessarily imply a higher threat. Tariffs appreciate the impact of other players in the market. Slaping immediate neighbours with 25% tariffs rests on the presumption that possible alternatives will be costlier, so the tariff will remain effective.

[Bhavik 🇨🇦 @bhavikn28]

@spectatorindex Why is Canada is at 25% but the EU is 10%? Why are we considered as a higher threat?
