STATE CAPTURE HAS MADE KENYA LANDLOCKED: 3 PORTS ARE GONE!
As 78th Birthday present, AZIMIO Chairman UHURU gave his AZIMIO Project RAILA Odinga one of our three (3) Ports (Kisumu), kept one for himself (Mombasa) and gave the other one to Moi Family (Lamu Port).
All three Kenya's ports are now in private hands of the 3 Dynasties. Kenya is now left a landlocked country, like Ethiopia, Uganda and Rwanda.
We will be depending on Kenyatta, Moi and Odinga Family ports (owned and run by DP World subsidiary as their proxy) to get all essential imports and for exports.
If you thought the cost of living was high, wait until every import coming to Kenya has to go through Kenyatta, Moi and Odinga Families hands.
To be sure, the full import of losing these strategic public assets is that for all intents and purposes, Kenya becomes a landlocked country. It is not enough to tell us we can still swim in the ocean.
Ports have built great nations. Just ask Singapore, Hong Kong, Egypt, the United Kingdom and even the United States. Ports are very strategic public assets. They enable trade and help to create great wealth.
This latest scandal brings the problem with State Capture front and centre. We can no longer run away from it or pretend that State Capture does not exist. And our media must stop framing these as singular incidents of governance failure.
For there is a clear and discernible pattern here for all to see.
Yatani's reluctance to come clean on this and other opaque transactions is the second pointer to grand corruption schemes.
Here, we must recall the words of Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of those United States.
_“Government ought to be all outside and no inside.
Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places, and we believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.”_
FREEDOM IS COMING ON 9TH AUG!
FREEDOM FROM #STATECAPTURE

Because of that situation they find themselves borrowing money from such mobile applications as Tala, Branch, Fuliza (from M-PESA) or sometimes from unregistered money lenders known in street parlance as “Shylocks.”

RUTO'S PLEDGE TO REVAMP THE ECONOMY WILL LAND HIM TOP SEAT
Deputy President William Ruto is just the person Kenya needs to rediscover lost opportunities and usher in better leadership and a prosperous life for Kenyans.
Last Thursday at a swanky ceremony in Kasarani he unveiled a robust manifesto pledging to reboot the country’s economy as he seeks to capitalise on the public clamour for improvement in livelihoods, and bring down the cost of living.
As I watched him make his pledge, there was no doubt that DP Ruto had set the bar high for anyone who wishes to challenge him.
And with an army of think-tanks that he has assembled to build a formidable force, it is clear that the country's second in command is not a pushover.
