A country can only create sustainable prosperity if its rules are stable, predictable and respected. Long term thinking isn't about blind adherence to legal technicalities. Today's popular shortcut can become tomorrows abuse of power.
Free advice to Ruto and his people. Pause, take a month and do public participation with the People of Lamu on the Dangote Oil Refinery. If you don't act accordingly within a week, I will Petition the High Court to stop the planned construction. Be advised.
@CommunityNoteKe@JesterSirr No one claims it's possible to poll 58 million people individually. That's why representative democracy, public participation and constitutional institutions exist. They are far better than allowing a handful of leaders to make fundamental changes without public oversight.
@Manvbai@JesterSirr The constitution isn't food, but it's what determines how taxes are collected, how public money is spent, how leaders are held accountable and who protects your property and freedoms. Countries that ignore constitutional limits rarely end up solving issues. Stay informed.
@tekinsaeko even with private investments, projects of this magnitude involving public land, state co-investment (via the National Infrastructure Fund), and environmental impact require mandatory public participation under the Kenyan Constitution.
@tekinsaeko Bwana, skipping public participation is exactly what causes the long court injunctions that freeze projects for years. If the government just does the due process now, it shields the investment from getting tied up in litigation later. Shortcuts are what actually slow down growth
Anyone telling you that a country with a heavy burden of debt, huge budget deficits and borrowing at high interest rates can keep a sovereign wealth fund, is essentially trying to sell you the city clock at the roundabout.
Here's why Kenya's Parliament keeps underperforming: it's stacked with lawyers at the top. Lawyers rarely think long-term. They benefit from stalemates and endless litigation instead of progress. In 2027, it's time to elect more engineers.
@j_johnnytizzoh@KeRRA_Ke Bodas overloading have depleted the road and a virtual weighbridge will be installed soon before any repairs commence. ๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ช๐ฐ๐ช The jokes write themselves in Kenya.
Symbolism as policy. Administration borrows tonnes of money, then gets parliament to pass a law as a Sovereign Wealth Fund . And then kids paraded before cameras to give impression that the math works.. Kids, it's not your fund, it's just a mood board.
