Imagine Country A has cocoa and Country B has chocolate factories.
Country A sells cocoa to Country B and buys back chocolate. Everyone is happy.
But then Country A realizes it would make a lot more money by processing its cocoa itself, so it does.
Now Country B is furious, because overnight it has lost a source of raw material and a market.
So Country B finds a few people in Country A with grievances or hardline ideologies, gives them a few weapons, and says, "Go carry out your activities where Country A is building this factory."
Now Country A has a problem: its country is destabilized. So it goes to Country B to buy weapons.
Country B says, "Fine, we will sell you weapons, but you must agree to scrap that factory."
So Country A scraps its factory and resumes selling cocoa and importing chocolate.
Country A gets its weapons, Country B gets its raw material and market, and they live happily ever after.
This post has very little to do with chocolate. But now I need some chocolate. Which do you recommend, Cadbury or Nestlé?
A Bill is set to be tabled in Parliament seeking changes to how presidential election results are tallied and announced.
The Bill proposes to:
��� Remove the national tallying centre.
— Limit the IEBC Chairperson to adding up and announcing results from constituencies.
— Require the IEBC Chairperson to declare the winner based on constituency results.
— Stop the IEBC Chairperson from changing or checking the results already declared at constituency level.
By the way my rule in life is I do not voluntarily participate in my own suffering. And I will ditch anything that tries to make me a willing participant in my own suffering. If I can't exit immediately, just know I'm planning my exit and I will exit at some point.
Is this the plan?
1. Kill agriculture
2. Kill the informal economy
3. Kill SMEs
4. Defund education and health
5. Kill the people
6. Share land and loot with foreign corporates.
The old proverb says a society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they’ll never sit in.
These 70-year-olds in power chose to burn the forests instead.
The High Court has rejected a petition seeking to stop the IEBC from tallying and verifying presidential results at the national tallying centre.
The court ruled that the IEBC can check and add up the results, but cannot change figures declared at constituency level.
