    I remember quite well in Kibaki's time when many said, and I quote "yes, we had corruption during Moi's era, but at least something was allowed to fall down here to the kina yahe, but under Kibaki even that small one has disappeared" the collective kenyan memory is just as long as a chickens flight. I couldnt believe my eyes when Moi was transformed into some kind of a statesman at his funeral, yet I was there as the crowd sang in seemingly one voice, "yote yawezekana bila Moi" I daresay maybe if we remembered hata kidogo tu, we could have a chance to change things but with our retarded memories, its almost impossible to make things better, how can we change anything if we dont remember anything.

    Go and read "its our time to eat" by Wong. They tried to kill Githongo, hired mercenaries the Artur brothers. Kibaki introduced so many regulations, permits and licences that are now crippling business due to bureaucracy. Instead of reducing SOEs, they increased especially in the regulatory department. Now kenya is heading to a dystopia where you need permit for anything even farming and mandatory SHIF. The government is competing with private sector and hence stifling the private sector.

    i think the time was not enough for a meaningful assessment of our economic situation! it’s like we wanted to go through our history in a blitz! i think they need to invite the good professor again and dedicate some time to so that he can walk us through the phases from independence to now! the professor is very knowledgeable and a would say of a balanced academic and professional disposition! imagine your wife is an advisor to the president further security and you have to come and talk candidly of the present state of affairs which by any means are not rosy! the economy is struggling from the governor of central bank from the CS treasury and even dr. david Ndi! i think professor kagwanja was on the hot seat should he think of his family or talk his mind! it reminds of one philosopher who told his friend that friendship is friendship but facts are above friendship! let us sober up if there are some adjustments we have to make to make our fatherland a better place let’s make those adjustments and not personalize if we are called to order! we have one nation one flag one destiny!

    In regards to what Latif & Professor Kagwanja were clearly explaining of the growth & contribution of our Somali brothers & sisters internationally & regionally ,it comes to no surprise.The Somali are clearly aware of who & what that they are rebirthing into. The Somali know why historical memory embedded in their DNA & knowledge of their ancestry comes in as being essential for the growth of their people so as to realize their freedom politically,economically & culturally because that is a body of knowledge that they have possessed throughout their ancestry from the ancient civilization of Kush. A good example of this is when Queen Hatshepsut,who occupied the throne of Kemet/Temeri (modern-day Egypt), for twenty one years(1504-1483 BCE),organized several trading expeditions including one in the ninth year of her reign to the land of Punt on the Somali coast.The expedition is portrayed in the magnificent bas-reliefs at Deir al-Bahir in upper Egypt.This body of knowledge helps them to know what time of day or night in history there are in & what they need to do for their next generation moving foward.

We should be in closed door meetings, holding all kinds of talks and chats to stave off the worst at all times. We should put patriotism high above all partisan concerns.

And "going" in this context does not mean that RUTO must go down the drain. It is their cry that RUTO must leave power. The constitution provides for a leader being shoved out of power mid-stream. It is their right to call for Ruto's exit.

    The Parliiament rejected the petition to replace the phrase on the Emblem with the name"KENYA". GOD YAHUAH The Creator of the Universe has said it should. The rebellion and and pride of the parliamentarians caused the covid 19. Some of them even poke His nose by saying that there was no covid19. May GOD deal with them. Today,the President knows that man is not as Sovereign, it is omly GOD who is Sovereign as the Preamble states. Recentky the President was warned that with delay,"LET NO man say that he can correct the economy of Kenya". Understand that from the Creator perspective. So, how does one undo the forces of the judgements over Kenya of The Creator instead of obeying? Left /right taxes upon tax on his nation. With all the grafr, locusts, floods, draughts and diseases etc... To have addressed the issue of the coat of arms which now is a religious logo was much simpler matter. Maybe for them the Indian idol Ambee praised by the harambee gives them what they need even election victory. Why dont the Educated African Kenyans of Christian faith about this error? The coat of arms and The Public Seal should display"KENYA"not the worship of goddess Ambee. Hiw is the Emblem a national symbol if a deity of a minority is worshipped thereon, while Christians know that the Creator is Known as YAHUAH yet The Name of the Creator is not displayed thereon?

    Erick is earnestly trying to distort the conversation by ostensibly providing nuanced perspectives. It's not rocket science that the cost of living is flaring. Honestly, Kibaki's tenure brings nostalgic moments because people could easily afford the basic meals: would you say that now? And you say that Kenyans like to be overexpectant, come on!

    Unlike most I don't think the country will fail under his tenure. We have strong fundamentals of human resources, infrastructure etc and he found a lot of work done including the constitution, previous cabinet etc,, which just might be the conditions for Ruto to get "lucky" just for trying a lot, but I think he's a terrible leader. The mere fact that he spent the first 5 years of Kibaki's presidency basically threatening those who had legit _bought_ their land in Rift Valley, saying "we go around thinking we can live anywhere we want in this country" paints a very bad picture of him. The same guy now owns huge properties all over Kenya, from the Coast, to Laikipia, to Narok. Never mind that his Kalenjin people are not the original inhabitants of the Uasin Gishu where he didn't want others to live, and their elites live in former Kikuyuland in the leafy suburbs around Nairobi. His was an example of extremely terrible problem solving, with deadly consequences. I try to let it go for the sake of his supporters

Thika highway construction cost was inflated. A whoe media house was attacked. Crispin Mbai was killed for being strict in the drafting of the constitution which Kibaki and team highly mutilated to suit themselves. In fact Kenyans massively voted him out in 2017 but he forced himself in leading to the POV. Don't know why yhe shameless professor keeps saying "because I was there" like he is the only Kenyan who was alive then. Kibakis time isn't as blissful as they want to force us to thio

    Yes, I'm from Mt Kenya, and many members of my extended family did very well economically during Kibaki's time but I can't lie that things were rosy during Kibaki's time. I know the opportunities were limited to a small cabal. Even the very many Kikuyus who joined mungiki at the time can't have joined because of their bliss. And underground police squads (Kwekwe) eliminated them like weeds. It's obvious that there are many innocent people who died. Even the Kwekwe turned against themselves. Kibaki missed an opportunity for national cohesion. Sometimes I think it wasn't out of malice etc, just some blindspots e.g not knowing how bad limiting opportunities to his old buddies looked, no matter their competence, because they mostly come from one region. I was a Kibaki devotee, but I have to look at things critically and acknowledge the experiences of others

  • @georgevictorowino3269

    I don't think the good Prof. is telling the truth or putting it differently he is falsely attributing the constitution to Kibaki. The Constitution review was a peace settlement agreement brought by Raila and his group following the 2007/08 post election violence. In fact it was a Raila thing years earlier during the cooperation government with Moi. Kibaki only briefly campaigned for it, in fact his side sabotaged the Bomas draft with Wako draft which was defeated. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 was a Raila project. Kibaki only waved (promulgated) the final document at Uhuru Park. The economy - granted he picked and allowed competent ministers to work. This through Kenya Vision 2030 was pushed by Prof. Nyong'o and Oparanya. But we give credit to Kibaki for allowing his ministers to work. Corruption - well nothing much to report. Kibaki legacy project was one; National unity this is what he talked about and tried to shape his various governments to represent. Unfortunately, he allowed tribal appointments and just like previous governments failed on this. While the economy grew, and we can credit him (Kibaki) for it. He failed on everything else.

  • @mapemanelson5540

    Kibaki was especially expected to eliminate tribalism. He promoted it instead; and he allowed the likes of Kiraitu to hold onto “our time to eat”. On economy, there was a registered growth. Indeed as usual we expect differentials manifested in various groups of people. The public expects promises to be delivered. Otherwise people lose hope.
