There are two huge human foot footprints on a rock in chemweisus Mt Elgon. This rock is located at the cutline between Mt Elgon forest and human settlement area on your way to kapchemosobcho as you exit cheretei's land. When we were young we used to visit this location as we look after our cows grazing.

This place is raised that can allow you to have a good view point. While standing here you can as far as escapement of Nandi hills, on your south east you can see KVDA building and DAIMA TOWERS of Eldoret and platues of Keiyo land. southward you can see plains of Kimilili webuye and the horizons of Kakamega and Busia. Westward from the horizons especially at the evening hours when the sun is setting you can see the beautiful river Nile flowing glowing and glittering going to Mediterranean Sea in Egypt. When you turn north you will see the entire beauty of Mt Elgon forest and you will see Summit of Mt Elgon mountains.

Surprisingly 100 meters from this location is a maternity field where hundreds of Elephants come every Year to give birth to the young ones in the month of August and September. Elephants will stay here for 2 months taking care of the new borns before migrating to Kitum cave in Endebess, where they go to lick salt in cave especially during the night.

Just 300 meters towards Mzee Rambit on the upper side of cheretei's Land before river Labaa you will find a natural "Rain Gauge" that is used by locals to predict weather conditions and weather patterns. This year it predicted Elnino

To cut long story short, Probably long time ago giants used to live in Mt Elgon thousands of years ago and they might have stepped on a hot lava/magma during eruption of volcano in Mt Elgon and they left a huge foot footprints here. This is the beauty of Mt. Kenya❤️

Kenya public debt:
I quote what David Ndii said, " 10 months ago, our debt to GDP rose from 35% to almost 70%, domestic interest from 180B to 700B, external debt to export ratio from less than 5% to now approaching 30%. That is crisis levels and I a debt issue. Where is the debt? It financed all this infrastructure that Kenyans demand."

Debt trajectory:
Jan 2020- 6T with domestic debt at 2.9T and external debt at 3.1T.
July 2022-8.6T with domestic debt at 4.3T and external debt at 4.3T.
Jan 2023-9.2T with domestic debt at 4.5T and external debt at 4.7T.

Repayment plan:
2022/23 - Domestic- 998.8B
External- 362.2B
2023/24 - Domeatic - 1.1T
External - 622.5B
2024/25 Domestic- 1.1T
External - 434.1B
2025/26 Domestic-1.2B
External - 443.9B

Note the payment plan on domestic debt. A change from treasury bills to treasury bonds helps in lengthening the maturity profile of the debts which helps in mitigating shirt term pressure on internal debt repayment. Debt restructuring.
Also note an increase in external debt repayment of double the figure from previous budget 2022/23. Trying to clear or reduce the high cost debts and opt for cheaper external debts coz obviously the country must borrow to fund projects but cost of te debt must be checked not to mess the country's economy.

Unless it's done now, postponing suffering will lead to a bigger suffering to the coming generation. We should therefore, think beyond the political line.

Never forget, Kibaki debt repayment budget was 18% of the revenue. Balance could manage the economy with development. What will you do when 80% is paying debts and Governors want more money ooof 35%, Salaries to pay amd still you have an agenda you pledged to Kenyans???

Utakonda ukufe before 5 year term coz sufuria nazo ziko streets crying.... we are in deep s**t as a country and we must embrace it and be patient as we oversight whreveria collected isn't mismanaged. Simple.

Finance bill 2023:
The bill is not entirely bad considering the state of the economy and the objective behind it which is to reduce the high cost debts (global interest rates) especially from China which will render the country bankrupt and increasing the risk of credit ratings downgrades with the likes of Ghana, Lesotho, Namibia, Rwanda and Uganda most at threat.

Note that last year June, Issuance of euro bond was cancelled to seek alternative sources which is cheaper and affordable (IMF). This made it almost impossible to raise funds from international bond markets in 2022 due to a surge in yields.

With the brief background on the situation of the country, now you understand where the finance bill with the taxation part being the topic on all frontiers. I only have an issue on some part of it especially on fuel VAT increment to 16% where the govnt claims it has been a loophole with the 8% rate. Therefore I propose fuel to be zero rated. This will cut across many sectors with an impact on production cost hence prices of commodities and services across the board. The current 8% can therefore be covered from another inflow eg on imports. We minimise importation through increasing import duties to promote local products. Tax items that are not a necessity which are currently zero rated eg make up market is on the rise in consumption.

On 3% housing levy, it was a pledge on the current govnt for affordable housing and that was the plan. Considering the debt situation Kenya is in, revenue collection cannot fund the project, therefore the housing levy comes in with additional NSSF amount to achieve the affordable housing plan.

Nite that on the current budget, this year's debt repayment will be 1.7trillion. The highest allocation on the budget 300 billion than last year's budget. The 300B being a cut on the national expenditure. This is to reduce the debt burden from the high cost lenders and avoid defaulting which will make us be like Sri Lanka that was declared bankrupt. Therefore, approximately 80% of our revenue collection goes to debt repayment. Assuming 100 shilllings collection, 80 shillings goes to debt repayment, we remain with 20 shillings to allocate to counties that need 35 shillings, salaries around 50 shillings, Opec 30 shillings. Where are we? A clean shortage of 95 shillings. Therefore, tax should be paid to get out of this. Increase revenue collection...simple. And for development, look elsewhere like the housing levy now.

I only defer with the demand side economies being used by the government. We shouldn't base entirely on the demand to set our policies.

Pics of the day. Tafakari ya Monday 20th March, 2023.
Go get injurred for the few beneficiaries or work hard and conquor the hard economic times. Without being on any political side, compare the prices of commodities in July 2022 and March 2023, then we clarify who is fooling who.
That aside, Monday mass action will only make things worse for common mwananchi and benefit those who have it like the once who will have body guards and bullet proof vehicles on their side as they walk during the day, kikiumana you won't see any of them ukipigwa maji moto ukiruka mitaro ya state house road.

Wake up and go to your normal daily hustle, wachana na politicians. They had a chance to do all that and ended in August last year. Sai tukubali matokeo k**a Arsenal jana wamekubali and move on and wait for next season (2027).

Blood will be shed, injuries will be incurred and thats not a prediction, that's a SPOILER. Look who is at the helm, can he be intimidated? So just mind your own business and work your ass off. Wachana na wanasiasa till 2027.
I highly rank JAKOM but this will taint everything he ever worked for in this country. I blame the advisors around him coz they need him for them to remain relevant. He has nothing to lose.

SPORTPESA HEIST!!!

Allegations/rumours were made few years ago on the hostile takeover of the giant betting company sportpesa which changed its trading name to milestone.
To cut the story short, Safaricom CEO Ndegwa could be on his way out and ne replaced by KCB CEO Joshua Oigara and also Sitoyo Lopokoiyot the MPesa boss who is allegedly being said to be the man behind the hostile takeover of Sportpesa. The two allegedly acted on behalf of a powerful family.

Word from the streets. Lets wait and see how it unfolds.

Kitale being my hometown and as a youth agent on empowerment, this caught my eye, heart and everything. As much as we cry and try for grassroot talent to be nurtured, this is what's happening down there. This should be seriously investigated and if there's any truth in the allegations made against the management of the girls, something be done urgently.

This are two online creators if you allow me to call the other party a creator too. I wanna talk of the following they control.

Crazy kennar has a crew he has provided employment opportunities under him with a good investment in the creation he does from cameras to quality and boosting his online work with only 618k followers while the other creator am yet to know her kind of content she does but with a following of 1.2m; double what Kennar has. Question: Who does content among the two?
Our priorities are worrying when it c9mes to online content and this encourages laziness and bad up bringing of our young generations with a mentality that they can use their bodies to make it in life. Hata shule hawaoni ikiwa ya maana as much as we try and encourage them that education is the key. For sure it proves the key to education was found and everything taken from it. What remains currently is all about what you see.

BUNGOMA BY- ELECTION
Wakoli 66k
Mabonga 46k
Wamunyinyi 21k

Meaning KK 112k
Azimio 21k

KK 85%
Azimio 15%

This speaks volume on the political landscape of this country come 2027. What I mean is that Western region foe once will be United in 2027 and will greatly vote as a block considering a certain candidate won't be on the ballot next election. Those around him are not loyal to him but want to use him to gain a following, endorsement and mileage for 2027.

By 2027 Lero ni lero will be less than 10% in western🤣🤣🤣🤣. The rejuvenation of FORD KENYA in the region.

MINDSET
It's a mental attitude or inclination towards something. It's not just any belief but beliefs that orient our reactions and tendencies amd shape how we make sense of the world and ourselves. Therefore, what you believe about yourself impacts your success or failure.

Only mind set will betray you. When your mind is expecting help ,you can not make a step, you can even forget your Name. So set your mindset positively towards yourself and how you perceive things coz its the foundation of all things.

We have fixed mindset and Growth mindset (Will elaborate in the next post on the differences). Will also try to give ways on how yo change your mindset...habit shifts.

Bottom line: Keep it positive no matter the circumstances or situation you are in.
