How Kenya is Becoming the Singapore of Africa | Economy of Kenya | Econ 

You are the mehn 👌🫡

This felt like one big advert for Kenyan mobile money companies 😂

I can send you videos for this am in kenya

That's a lie not with corruption, high cost of power and high taxes..

like what is "INCLUSIVE" growth? "INCLUDING" WHOM? since IMPERIALISM has been INCLUDED by force of COLONIZATION from the day they COLONIZED the CONTINENT?!....ITURI-(aka "Afrika/aner") KENYA was NOT POVERTY stricken, says ALL those who GREW UP in the 70s and 80s exchanging the 20pounds to 20shillings to ONE POUND! it was GROWING FAST in the 70s and 80s till the SAP were IMPOSED by IMPERIALISM. KENYA does NOT WANT to be A SINGAPORE or CHINA which are ecnomically OWNED by FOREIGN MONOPOLY comapnies! WHEN these STATE CONTROLLED MONOPOLIES in RUSSIA LEFT RUSSIA basically COLLAPSED! SO KENYA is NOT LOOKING for IMPERIALISTIC "investment" but TO BECOME A MANUFACTURING HUB not a SOCIALIST SOCIAL WELFARE STATE invested by FOREIGNERS!....when this FOREIGN Mpesa LEAVES and returns to VODACOM its mother FINTECH, KENYAN FINTECH will just COLLAPSE!!...so WHAT good is THAT? in the LONG TERM?....

😂😂😂

It's true

in return people of somali origin are smuggling goods into kenya without going through the right process....or thats what you are calling trading freely

No it's not. Kenya is home for Kenyans

That's true bro✔️✔️

❤

If only those parasites leave us alone!

We are also proud of Asia as a African I admire the growth of your economies!

hi can we date?😂😂😂❤️

classy

Amen

We already are

Good luck from India. If Kenya grows, Indians will have a new place to look for jobs and residency.

We are rich already,we working to be richer😅

Well said ​@@geofreykipsang5760

How ..? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?

Thanks to Mrs Maria Davis.

She's a licensed broker here in the states

YES!!! That's exactly her name (Deborah Davis) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺

I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony on CNBC news last week.

Hello I'm from Singapore

Don't be fooled by the bubble that is gigiri and westlands.thats a gilded cage for so called expats

Stable how

@@ottomanpodcast No war or coups

Do your research properly

@@allanr.okinyi8641 on which part

@@allanr.okinyi8641 What research??….

It's true actually, Kenya was the only country at one point that used mobile transactions, the system works well in the continent as it's young and growing. Kenya is the first to use a Mobile transaction system on the planet and it's success is the reason why it spread to multiple other nations​@@allanr.okinyi8641

Yoh chill

Much love from Kenya.

it the same for us

We have no culture

but not much problems like Nigeria has😢😢😢 ...no water no electricity ..

@@joeliz4324 exactly. That's why I was praising Kenya. They actually have better government than we do.

Kenya is dead Famm

@@nevillekipruto9504 😞 How come? Why do you say that?

@@oceejekwam6829 just another pessimist. there is lots of them here but it doesn't matter

@@nevillekipruto9504 bro why. They are doing amazing

@@patriot_2022 I think you are new to the matters pertaining Kenya economical struggles

Ive been looking into our mineral Laws etc, cause thats a concern i also had..... My Ideology- ( If it wont benefit everyone - leave it in the ground) -- And not an ounce should be dug up until factories are built FIRST!!!

We all know what will happen if these minerals are commercially exploited. The proceeds will only line the pockets of few powerful individuals. Won't benefit the rest of the country.

Kenyan here, I've seen a lot of those geo-spacial surveys and I doubt we'll mine for most of those minerals coz most of them offer insufficient deposits. Our law also requires mining companies to initiate land reforms after exploiting land and most companies don't want to coz it eat into their profits.

yet we have them all but we choose not to exploit

Similar with the USA 🇺🇸, which when starting out didn't have a dependence of minerals and fossil energy. It depend on its Human Capacity, unlike the South American Countries.

I have been around Africa kenya is suprisingly miles ahead compared to the other countries in subsahara Africa, visit burundi and you will run back and kiss kenya

Kenya is veeery positively thought of outside.... its our politics that change it at home

Someone who has never been

@@alexkibe4179 Kenyans are very self-critical. It actually bodes well for future improvement.

We are really our own enemies🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂yooooooo

Yep, it's true

😮😮 sure if politics hadn't messed up Kenya we'd be at par with Singapore

Moi was the biggest downfall for Kenya

Then Moi came in and let the IMF/World Bank run the show, just like his student Ruto has done. THese 2 men are agents of the west and kenyans are fools for electing a person that doesn't know what he is doing.

Haha, they think they know more than Google, AWS, Intel, General Electric, Microsoft and other guys with their African HQ in Nairobi.

Challenge accepted.

white people hates it when asians and africans are developing.

Its only Nairobi that us developing whar about other counties

@@arafatbashir576 when you see an African country developing you can never give credit to the locals but to the west?We were a British colony and we fought for our independence,MauMau.We used to give aid to Singapore in the 70s.We built our own.

Tell them Wakesho!

Wea

What luxury estates grab lands on riparian lands which are mostly grabbed no drainage light and unplanned

@@e2oet706 not true but if that's what you think ok

Rwanda 😂 that is a land locked country they rely on others with a port for anything

Facts. @@prot6liv981

Rwanda is copying Kenya's blueprint, we are their Daddy

Bro, our fourth largest City's economy is larger than........

Kenya has oil in Turkana and gold deposits in Western Kenya. What are you talking about? It's just that we have never depended on minerals to build our economy. Instead, we value service. Hence tourism, IT, agriculture, etc.

We've also got great deposits of coal, uranium, rare earth minerals

Actually, we have all of that. Only that, it's like someone made sure we will not utilize any of it. There is huge gold reserves in Kakamega that no one is doing anything about. There is massive oil in Turkana, and potentially gas in the South Rift regions (had rumours awhile back about gas somewhere, which they are keeping secret until some important people have the land) And what is really happening to the oil in Turkana ? Then recently they said we have coltan in several places. All of those minerals, and all those we used to read about in primary school social studies ? The problem is clueless governments, that never come to power with the intent to grow and diversify (things they talk about a lot), but only to control sharing of the little resources we have. Haven't you seen them lately go to benchmark in Tanzania about "how minerals can be used to drive economic growth" ? I bet the Tanzanians were surprised

@@rosam674 It's not just "depend". We do nothing with the minerals we have. Can you imagine, the majority of mineral exploitation going on is artisanal. It is the locals sitting there in the sun and hitting rocks with nyundos, they sell very cheaply, and then the government celebrates that and they say they are improving our lives by supporting artisanal mining. Instead of establishing state mining companies and doing something serious. Even heard that people have been selling coltan for years in Embu to business people from Rwanda. Smart Rwandans surveyed the region with their intelligence services, and found out about Coltan in Kenya before the Kenyan government did. The locals have been crushing those rocks and selling to Rwandans without even knowing what they are, or why. How stupid our governments are! And far worse when you think of people like RiggyG leading decision making. Ruto is said to be smart, but he is not any different. Only good at filling his stomach. Otherwise he would never have time for the kind of people that form his administration.

Africa is full of mineral resources. Kenya too has its share. The resource rich African countries have been and continue to be harassed and bullied.

Let's hope that neo-colonial tendencies don't corrupt the country - multinational corporations often control economic policy to suit themselves than the citizens

Name the companies...lol..

Youre speaking my mind, this mini-docu was biased and really shallow in terms of the real drivers of the Economical change Its like an essay written by a high schooler

We are becaming liars no jobs political interference this nation is starting to collapse slowly when you chase all investors by overtaxing investors what do you expect every president has his own policy every 5 to 10 years they cause disruption to businesses we are just smart but people are catching up with us

😂😂😂😂

haha

😂😂😂damn

We're okay.

Believe me Kenya is doing better than most third world countries.

@@Mzalendo2295 "Third world countries" is a derogatory phrase.

But Kenya is only richer than its african neighbours, outside of the continent your country is fourth world. You don't even have nice roads there. Nigeria does. Sorry for telling the truth.

@@rosam674 lol! Developing country or third world is one and same, that's the harsh reality.

False.

Must you throw a spanner in the works when someone is trying to market us? 😕

That is why they are great example to look up to follow so we can enrich ourselves as well. We just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Hakuna Matata!!!🎉

You pulled that out of your a s s. Nothing more annoying than an expatriated Kenyan pissing on the country from afar. Enjoy your new home and leave alone to solve our issues. Move on.

😅😅 you think they are the richest??? The true rich in kenya are very quiet. Living in affluent neighbourhoods, you never see super cars, but they are there.... i hate it!

Agreed!

roho safi!

Do you know Joseph prince ? I love him ... I hope he comes to Kenya one day

I'm from Kenya, can we swap countries? 🙃

​@@dennomuli😂😂😂

Hi, your leader laid a robust foundation.

kenyans are smarter than you.

Dad was Chief Engineer Communications 75 to 95 he built an infrastructure to be rivaled.Was a genius.His friend from University was my doctor..told me how brilliant Dad was.Best internet in Africa.

Kudos to your dad... You're so passionate about Kenya..

@@portiaaudi4406 Yes very Patriotic to both Countries as a Kenyan American.America which has given me an opportunity to help both countries.

It is very practical... It is already the business & logistics hub in the region.

There are pros and cons. I hope Kenya doesn't become a dense mass of concrete and foreign capital like Singapore.

GDP per capita of 1500 vs. 105000 needs wild imagination

​@@NewmaticKetends to happen when you have a Seventh the population of the other.

Ok Mohammed...

You'll never appreciate until you move to Kampala or Dar.... Huko ni ushago my friend.

I feel this fastest growing economy news is meant for investors.

SO TRUE

Because Kenya is the technological hub of Africa and the fastest developing country in the world

Coz we has kenyans use most of our time on internet,

Many kenyans have internet so companies actually pay for online ads to gain more customers. Also data is cheaper so longform content is consumed much more than other many African countries. Very tech saavy group actually, they try

They realised that kenyans react positively when praised

@@AFRICANVINTAGE what normal human beings react negatively when praised?

But Ruto is. He might be the biggest saboteur of Kenyan dreams

​@@patriot_2022give the guy the benefit of doubt. Uncle Bill is not all that clueless.

@@portiaaudi4406 Oh I seriously hope he isn't. Because it will be very sad for us. But so far not so good.

Wait, $800 Million in venture capital funding for an entire country in a year is enough to beat SA, Nigeria, Egypt and match Kenya? Damn. Really puts into perspective how massive just a single Unicorn is. Forget Decacorns. I guess Indian startups really are awash in money, with 5 decacorns and Gods know how many Unicorns. And Chinese and Americans have even larger startup ecosystems.

That one is indeed our ONLY problem

The greatest challenge/problem is the foundation ?? Let's join hands together and rebuild our nation

infact. Thieves. Not even politicians

This is an assumption. Corporates are the powerhouse. The new constitution has made it difficult to just take away public funds and enrich yourself without dire consequences. Many politician accounts are frozen. We thank God for tremendous strides in our Judiciary. Very independent.

No they don’t and they shouldn’t they are making strides congratulations to them

@@Dixonmcdixon They are clickbaiting Only showing positive side or Claiming short time growth as decade worth of success

@@hewas_chewasky here in America they only show the positive side to the rest of the world, have you complained about that too?is advertising something supposed to be negative or positive? Tell me one advert from food to country to vehicles that is not clickbait?? Hatred towards Africa is the biggest sin in mankind history

@@hewas_chewasky I asked you a question but you deviated from it meaning you actually said what you believe but not what the facts say. Remember you are entitled to your beliefs but you are not entitled to your own facts. Now can you reach my post and answer the questions if you want to be speak your truth

@@Dixonmcdixon Question about US? I'm not a US supporter and US not the best country out there but definitely it is one of the best Its 100X better than African countries combined Look at per capita, HDI,Stability, population, GDP Everything US solos Even Bangladesh & Vietnam which were colony and had more brutal war in recent history are growing better than resources rich Africa Tho I don't care about Africa I was not talking about Africa I was talking about clickbait and catchy name of the video

Are there free for ad if I may ask politely?

Where are you from? I guess Uganda. Why don't you state your facts and call out the bullshit in this video, stop the jealousy.

Someone Paid an Ad to talk about about corruption, inequality & high debt?

@@kevinchege6323 A quick Google search with Kenya's presidents' name plus the word 'corruption' brings back over 300 articles in which he's implicated. That signals to two things: a weak prosecution/judicial system and the rot in your nation. The odds of the sun rising in the West are higher than Kenya becoming a Singapore lol!

Mpesa

exactly! how stupid

Colour bar.

A nation in sub sahara region was his main topic. Notice how he uses "sub saharan Africa"

I don't get it either, there's blacks there, but those arabs are ruling class.

​@@22ndCenturyBasterdcalm yourself. Most North African countries don't consider themselves african.
