Editing this, in 1999, a loaf of bread was 500g against the today's 400g, 50 Bob in 99 is equivalent to 300 Bob in today's Kenya.

We have been singing this point but some people think we are stupid. The situation is not transparent hence we cannot continue that way.

Placard says it all
Ata government apologists are waking to the fact that debt needs to be audited and made public.

Are people becoming less fearful of lethal confrontations with the police? People know there will be deaths, they hear the gun shots but they still persist. Full frontal confrontation is the last barrier with the state after propaganda, talks fail. And people still seem hell bent to be on the streets and over power police. Is it kill me, there are a thousand other me's and you can't kill us all?
We have an employment problem; it's either we fix it starting now or we are doomed completely. We are churning almost 50k graduates per year a figure grossly underquoted; it is definitely higher. How many white collar jobs is govt creating coz if you try become an entrepreneur govt stiffles your efforts with so many regulations and levies...from national to the county level. This makes national govt the preferred employer even before we check "personal benefits". I think all privatisation nonsense should be stopped ...make them work.
We really need to rethink; these young guys are quite idle. And yes they are fearless, not that they want, they are hopeless. I wouldn't want to have a hungry neighbor yet am in plenty.

I do support privatization and merging, why do we need Brand Kenya, Kenya Tourism Board, Made in Kenya, Export Promotion Council as different entities? Why do we have Numerical Machining Complex that's largely subsidized by state?
Naona Mathira kwa rigathi na new IG wako maadamano pia
Merging is okay..am talking about key installations....That NMC doesn't need subsidies if our tax policies are working, why would we privatise installations such as KPC and Kenya Seed/Simlaw? Why should we privatise our Airports for instance? Why don't we merge KQ to KAA instead? These are flagship industries in their respective forms and do directly affect the common man with potential for unlimited growth. Akina Tourism and so many other briefcase authorities should be abolished not even merged and only merge where there's no alternative.
If anything comes out of these protests is always placing Kenya first.

I agree but I don't trust the midwife to act in our best interest..
But when a debt audit taskforce is forced(due to public opinion), the same people demostrating are shouting yelling and bickering that this is the work of the auditor general. In short, munataka nini? Debt audit or not?

For those employed by this supposed 'independent office' established under Article 229 of the Constitution of Kenya to make the audits public.
Governor Natembeya tried the same thing with his county in 2023. The court told him to go through the Auditor General. Sheria ifuatwe. I'm sure if Ruto had consulted the AG he would have gotten advice.

Let me tell you a story - Before 1995 or there about, the co-operative movement was very strong, with small cooperatives investing part of their surplus in what were called district co-operative unions and which had a lot of money. The district unions operated input supply chains and ran farmers saccos.
Between 1995 to 1999 or maybe from the early 1990s, the Commissioner of Co-operatives allowed management committees to be appointing their auditors and soon the auditors and the steering committee members started becoming very rich while the farmers in coffee, cotton, pyrethrum and dairy especially became very poor. All this time, auditors came and read cooked financial reports that assured the farmers that all was well.
By the turn of the century the district co-operative unions were no more, their once thriving input stores gutted, the saccos illiquid and their buildings used as collateral for loans that had been eaten.
Where am I going with this? I cannot trust you to appoint auditors to audit you.

Good points but remember kq is not a parastatal but rather a private company with government shareholding, that benefits from the YEARLY consolidated fund bailouts.
