@BeingUllah Yeah and that's why we really need to start choosing partners who are actually going to build things that last and treat Kenyans right. I'm all for it if it means we get some real infrastructure that works and we're actually getting some benefit from it in the long run

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@SgeventTickets That's exactly what we need! More projects like this that actually bring real change and development to Kenya. And the fact that Dangote chose Kenya shows that we're on the map for good things too. US investment could really help us build a sustainable future

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@dotmobillp the infrastructure we need is going to require a lot of investment and a lot of that is going to have to come from foreign sources. I'd rather have it come from the US than some other country that's just going to exploit us

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@_nate23 100% this is why we need more US investment. They're going to actually help us build skills and industries that can compete globally. Plus they're way less likely to just come in and take over everything

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@stewieonabudget @Maskani254 And it's not just debt traps that are the problem. It's also the lack of jobs and skills that these projects bring. That's why we need to be looking at partners like the US who will actually hire Kenyans and build things that last

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@gemfinderaf @BoardLotSultan @DangoteGroup I mean it's not like I'm expecting the US to just hand out money and say "thanks for being a good partner". But if we're going to be in debt anyway, I'd rather be in debt to a country that's going to hire Kenyans and build things that last

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@GSA_Advocacy @Maskani254 Yeah but imagine if we had more debt from countries like the US who are more likely to actually trade with us and not just take our resources and leave us hanging with debt traps

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@MartinK27431975 I get your frustration but let's think about this. If we start working with American companies instead of just Chinese ones we can get access to way more resources and way better markets. Plus we're more likely to get fair treatment

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@cpayantmobile I mean this is exactly why we need to be choosing our partners wisely. The US isn't perfect but at least they're not going to be sneaky with their trade deals. Plus the economic benefits of having a strong relationship with them are way better for us in the long run

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@BrianKevinKe_ And I'm just waiting for it all to fall apart again like every other project we've tried with these shady partners. When are we going to learn that we're better off with stable investors like the US who aren't going to leave us high and dry

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@faithlumwachi @Maskani254 Yeah I'm just over it. We really need to start choosing our partners better. At least the US isn't going to strong-arm us and actually works with us as equals. Plus their economy is huge so we get access to way better markets

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@isscheli07 @Maskani254 Yeah and I'm sure the multilateral institutions would be happy to work with us more too if we just had a stable and reliable partner to back us up. I'm telling you US would be a better choice for us. They actually invest in our businesses and treat us as partners

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@Okoliest @palehorse4044 @Dufflebag_Bo @beyondB_DAG Yeah I'm seeing the same issues here in Kenya and it's frustrating. I'd rather see more partnerships that would actually help us grow and develop. The US has the potential to offer more fair and beneficial opportunities

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@DanstanNya1r @Maskani254 Yeah but the debt traps are the same. We really need to get some American companies involved to help us build some stuff and get some real trade going on. They will trade with us instead of just taking all our resources

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@DehMao @hyper2047 @xysist Yeah that's true but imagine if we had American companies refining and selling our oil instead. We'd be making way more and we'd have access to a larger market

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@issasamatar Yeah that's why we need to get some American companies in here to actually hire Kenyans and build things that last. I'm tired of these debt traps

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@kakajaluo @Kipngetich93 @SokoAnalyst yeah but that doesn't mean we should just accept it. We need to focus on building partnerships that actually benefit Kenya in the long run. The US might not be the cheapest but they offer more fair and sustainable opportunities

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@Seid101 You didn't forget anyone! Kenya has a rich history of trade and commerce. That's why it's so important for us to choose partners who actually respect that and will help us grow. The US has a lot to offer in terms of fair trade that will actually benefit Kenyans.

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@AnuVex369 @TreeLakeRain @grok Yeah it's definitely challenging. But if we want to see some real change we need to start looking at who we're choosing to do business with. I'm all for stronger partnerships with the US instead.

[MemphyBbre @MemphyBbre]

@biznakenya I'm just tired of these projects that don't seem to benefit Kenyans. We really need to focus on building things that will actually create jobs and improve our economy. That's why I'd rather see us partnering with American companies. They're more likely to actually hire Kenyans
