Majority of the loans being paid originated from Uhuru's first term and the most powerful dockets in that term were headed by Ruto. Ministries of water, public works, energy, agriculture and together with the respective parastatals were all lead but Ruto. Ruto got rich during Uhuru's first term. Ruto played Uhuru.
Great conversation, thank you SC for your words of wisdom. My view is that it's not that Kenyans don't want to rise up against the corrupt system, it's just that most of the country comprises people who are living from hand to mouth including the so called employed workers, in such a scenario the people would rather wake up and go to work to keep themselves alive, there is no room to for an uprising against the system. The philosophy in play here is to give the majority just enough to eat and they won't rebel against the system. The people who go out to picket and demonstrate are normally jobless Kenyans, those who are too desperate and probably want to loot and sadly don't mind dying in the process. It takes a certain level of wealth to demonstrate peacefully in masses and change the system or a certain level of general desperation to equally demonstrate violently in masses and change the system as well, but when you are stuck somewhere in the middle no change will come through mass action. But, I agree fully, the entire system is rotten, and we are struggling to build around it, so no matter the amount of good intentions that the president has unfortunately the system will fail him if its not changed.
I know they will blame Uhuru until 2027 and even beyond. Ruto was part of that same government, so he was part of the problem. But my question is,. Can someone explain to me the sudden insane and punitive increase in taxations by the current regime???
@@KanuMotoHow is he an azimio goon? Why take an ethnic angle? He is asking substantial and relevant questions which a sychophantic mind cannot grasp. Where is the huge taxation and heavy borrowing heading to? To the 2 times statehouse has been renovated? Numerous irrelevant foreign trips with an army of joyriders? Huge appointments most if which have corruption court cases dropped? They need to go and leave the government to those that offer solutions not excuses.I think you need to focus on where and when the next Mchele na nyama will be offered...or the 100sh handouts. Cease labeling individuals who ask question that Kenyans need to ask. A stupid brain will fill itself with azimio labeling every time it's clogged by simplistic propaganda
No one says that you have to borrow to repay the loan you already have. You try and renegotiate. Ghana has done it and I'm here and very proud to say that. Kenya just needs to avoid listening to these schooled liars with no education whatsoever.
What happened to Ruto’s slogan “Niko na plan”. Kenya needs manager now and not tribal politicians. Anyway as things stand now only the strong will survive.
Thank you senior council for speaking the truth, especially on our justice system. The rot in the judiciary is beyond anyones imaginations. Parliament is not representing anyone. The executive is corrupt to the core. Kenyans we are on our own.
If by borrowing uhuru messed why is Ruto borrowing? Uhurus reason for borrowing we can see he made the infrastructure suitable for investors to come and invest and so that the burden of repaying the debts may not be heavy on mwananchi as it is now. Ruto is chasing the investors away sasa life has become unbearable!!
There is a degree of dishonesty in Nasir's defense of Ruto for the mess of the hand shake govt. I never heard Ruto enthusiastically oppose the reckless borrowing in the Uhuru government which he was part of despite the hostile relationship with uhuru..
@@violam592 super all these concepts/ideas/methods are known but will never be done .I remember this govt said it will share the sgr contract . Until now nothing. After Kenyans see how they were fcked they will undoubtedly ask to be shown all other contracts and this is the fear they have for not opening the can of worms I assume it will also implicate most of them
This discussion seems to stamp/demonstrate the true meaning of the day's proverb about the stone remaining the same despite the rain falling on it. The administration is veere unlikely to change!
Ruto just borrowed Kshs 1.56 trillion within the first year of his regime. That is far more than any other past President of Kenya. Was Uhuru involved in that? Uhuru put up infrastructure that has eased communication across the country.
@@leewythaka8309we also cannot forget that Ruto blamed Uhuru (more precisely the handshake brothers) for high taxes, high fuel costs, high food costs. Now that he is facing the same problems, we would be conveniently be told it is because of external forces beyond his control. We need to be honest.
@@davidmbugua226 we elect politicians with zero no how of matters economy and governance. Zero experience in any field , kibaki was a economic technocrat, moi was teacher , Kenyatta a gardener, uhuru a rich kid, Ruto a chicken seller with phd plant ecology, our cs didn’t even finish school some of them. wacha kiturambe.
Looking at the comments is amusing, the honest learned friend who stood in front of cameras several yrs ago and told the media that Weston did not belong to his client the then DP only for the DP confirm months later in deed it's his. These are not honest actors and none of them come with cleans hands so them pontificating to us about graft and how bad the former regime was is quite the stretch. Reason why the current admin can't properly prosecute past graft is because they were part and parcel of it. They'll make all manner of noises but the details are what matter and past actors could also expose them and their hypocrisy.
@@moralcompass1017 yes we already know the truth, do you have to repeat all the time. It's boring everytime they open their mouth, handshake get over with it.
If our taxes pay their salaries, why are we not involved in setting salaries? Highest paid person in the government should earn 500K, and that should be the president. That will definitely bring down the cost of living. SRC you are letting Kenya down
Since we are the employers, let's sack all the employees in all the institutions and disband all of them, since according to the lawyer, they are all filthy; filled with flies and maggots,.. and probably...... probably.
The perfect solution is a controlled market economy. Of course that takes care of fixing all prices, wages included.. I would propose a maximum of shs 200,000.00, and a minimum of shs 50, 000.00.. That takes care of all those greedy people ruining our country..
No sane individual in power, out of power, wanting to be in power will dare say anything on this because this is where they draw their energy from! They want folks to be ignorant, shallow and uneducated to raise the vulnerability bar. If everyone is aware of their rights then nobody will want to represent a region as an MP, Governor, senator etc because they might easily face 'MAMBO MATATU'
This is the habit of Kenya Keisha people they are obsessed by the name of our beloved and hard working retired president Uhuru Kenyatta. You just mention Uhuru Kenyatta in every way, and the more most of us in central Kenya we miss and more want him back to the political arena!!!!!!! Gachagua with his arrogance na tumbo kubwa atashangaa one day we will get our president back to work for Kenyans!!!!!!!!
Well done Ms Ndu. You conducted the program this time around better than Eric - the Ruto's apologist. Maybe the Standard should consider you for Eric's position because you question things without fear or favour.😂😂😂👏👏👏
@@bennjenga9763it's not the tribal card, it's the oiling card! Before the elections l wouldn't have missed his interviews, just like the current government spokesman's, sorry his famous name then has disappeared from my memory! Oh what a waste of talent!

Next time give us someone who is objective in their assessment of issue..not this overly obsessive man,openly biased and spin doctor..eti handshake ..over a year later. One can support the government without one suspending the fundermental use of one's brain and good reason..
A very basic fact from the learned lawyer: stop over borrowing, minimize your expenditure, make your government lean, make sure the funds don’t disappear from the treasury, this country needs a very qualified and strict management of the limited funds from our taxes!
Isn't it absurd that Uhuru is still being blamed for rutos shortcomings. Uhuru didn't borrow trillions in rutos first few months, Uhuru did not support LQBTQ ruto did. Uhuru did distribute fertilizer that damaged crops and soil ruto did. Uhuru didn't introduce housing levy to loot Kenyans ruto did
Uhuru did not overcharge and discriminate bright hustlers' children seeking university education. Even young Ruto cannot afford higher education in a Ruto administration 😂
@Ahmednasir is trying to have it both ways. He is a master of performative outrage. Ahmednasir was a celebrated Uhuru-Ruto supporter and a current Ruto-supporter. Instead of blaming himself for supporting two wrong regimes in succession, he shifts the blame to handshake et al. Many allege that Ahmednasir has degenerated from a constitutional lawyer to an ordinary weapon of political wars. Pathetic! Educated elites are Kenya’s primary problem.
I wish Grandmula could get more days in your studio,we are reading from wrong books this is the book,the majority of Kenya are acting on electral results emotions an agenda for an individual who doescare for any one but himself
The wastage in this serekali is demonic. Ruto spend 150 million kenya shillings a day. Rigathi spend 109 million kenya shillings a day. Cabinet secretary spend 90 million shillings a month. There is 60 million kenya shillings food allowance spent state house every day. Every kenya must evade paying taxes. Paying taxes is funding corruption and lavishly lifestyle of ruto and his cronies
Allow me to comment without watching this crap of previous regime blame game. I wonder why media bring such liars to lie on live television. These guys should be ignored and asked real tough questions
Nonsense, Ruto has been travelling all over the world doing nothing but sightseeing while problems are pilling up day and day. Total wastage of public funds!
Disingenuous, conceited & lacking in principle! This fellow was there in 2013 when Chapter 6 of CoK was battered & mutilated. He stood with UMK, the weakest President in Kenya History, he lacked wherewithal & capital to steady the economy to build on gains post nusu mkate administration. He watached by as SGR & Eurobond, the greatest heist against public coffers alongside other scandals played out in public domain yet for all his public influence & knowledge he cheered on! Handshake was a fallacy & IMO sullied credentials of RAO. WSR was their in Jubilee 1, when the seeds on what KE deals with now were sown! WSR has the unenviable task to unpack & undo the harm that he was part of whilst still joined at hip with UMK. ANA aka GM is losing his public standing by being revisionist, trumpeter & cheer leader of bad governance. Call a spade a spade Miguna style!
A lawyer of your magnitude shouldn't be talking like a fool. Ruto was in the Uhuru Kenyatta govt all the way to the end and is part and parcel of the problem we are in.
When other Kenyans say Somalis are so talkative its true You can learn just from this Epesode the two journalists are just like audiences like us. Hit the Like if you also observe
which wisdom? This is the same propaganda flowing around 1 year after elections. What has your pathetic KK government done in that 1 year? Useless thinking
Rocks need no protection from the rain just as Uhuru needs no protection from Ahmed Nassir and his ilk. The problem with Ahmed is that the man is still miffed at his own mediocre performance at the Supreme Court in 2017 and Uhuru's handshake with Raila Odinga. Get over it bro. Water under the bridge. Herr Ruto has been in power for one year. The fact that someone scatched your skin years ago doesn't mean that you walk with a wound for the rest of your life. get a doctor. it's better to walk with a scar. Who says Kenya is poor? From Agricultural exports(but your benefactor is hellbent on importing maize from his alleged farms in both Zambia and DRC), Tourism. To believe that you are the smartest one in a room full of people is pure arrogance that's the stock in trade for Ahmed Nassir. And the worst part is that Ahmed Nassir is as tribalist as they come. Why does he think that Mr. Muga will not be happy? Donald Trump demanded for Barrack Obama's birth Certificate. May Kenyans should start demanding certain individual's birth certificate. And in terms of borrowing, Jimmy Wanjigi and Raila Odinga negotiated KES 200mb for the SGR. Please ask Ahmed Nassir who renegotiated the deal to KES 237b. Ask him what happened to Arror Kimwarer Dam. I can assure you it wasn't the Handshake. Making arrogant statements doesn't make one intelligent. Mr. Learned arrogant Lawyer. You performed poorly at the SC. Let it go.
A person or a group of people can clean the coffers of the country and stash them somewhere we know with no consequences means we are at the mercy of whichever individual we elect. Why do we have the constitution and institutions if they can be overuled by an individual
Kenya is a rich country but all our foreign exchange is being used to pay for our huge imports( oil, mitumba, cars and machinery, food etc etc, debt and interest on loans). Our imports are 20 times bigger than our exports, and we also can not manage the forex earned from our natural resources.
We all agree we at mess... what we have different perspective is that... if really president ruto is sorting out the mess... or even if is capable of helping... in my view... his first mistake was choices he made in appointing cs and ps
This going to church and mixing government policies and politics in the church, has to stop and also going to state house for getting development, is madness.
Change should come from Us as an Individual and Not abdicate to Politicians who have their sole interests at hand. Be the Change... Always Question what doesn't seem to be right
Ahmednassir you are absolving Ruto from the 'illls' of the previous government. You are partisan to this government as it offers your community slot in government.
We want solutions not blame games, even if handshake was the problem, what is the solution right now!! The governement knew about the problem and said they now the solution what are this solutions?
