Bottoms up model debate on Citizen TV now

Mwalimu-G

Please note I premised that on Ndii getting his way in terms of influencing policy which seems likely given he is essentially UDAs brain on economic matters much like Rotich was for Kenyatta.

He has been preaching prudence since 2013, his consistency stands out.
It is only everyone is interpreting this bottoms up thing their own way.

why is ndii catching when told to explain more about the strategy? for the past few days anyone who questioned him to explain more, they've been blown off.
Ndii suffers from intellectual elitism. These are folks who aki sense your mental bandwidth is lower than his, they either disregard you or become arrogant. The guy is a very good economist, my concern is that he maybe the paper type.

Because there was nothing to the so-called model ab initio. It was supposed to be just another slogan to replace the dangerous "hustler" narrative which has the potential of sparking off a class/tribal war. It was not meant to be brought centerstage to be debated and possibly deconstructed the way it has and Ndii did not think it through after they agreed on it and his name was tagged to it as the expert consultant.
He is now discomfited for being forced to explain it under pressure and he is not ready. It is a contradiction because it is the product of the same top-down thinking they are criticizing. Hence their rather lame attempt to say they are planning to take it to mashinani for Wanjiku to say what she wants.

Catching...The fact his ego is bruised by being questioned by ordinary joes.
Actually there's sense in the model. Top of my head is how equity and safaricom outperformed their competitors. It is simply a bottom-up approach. We have funny characters here who cannot take time to internalize what is being said by widely researching either because they dislike the messenger or just sheer stupidity or a mix of both.
All developed nations focused on improving the life of the common man while at the same time strengthening their institutions.
Why are people having an issue with such a policy? Whether the people preaching the gospel are genuine or not that is wholly different discussion. Kenyatta turned out to be a fantastic idiot but there people who claim to have a brain who think he has done a superb job.
