hatutaki politics of deceit

[pop in]

That reaction from especially from Mt Kenya goes to show you they still have doubts regarding raila

they should raise on secondhand clothes.
Basic dignity must be restored.

Let us be systematic. Start by serious cotton promotion campaigns - those of us old enough may remember the pareto ni pesa and pamba ni mali drives of the 1970s - synchronized with investment in modern ginning, spinning, and weaving capacity.

This guy seems to love peasantry. From wheelbarrows to mitush.

Peasantry = thurakus

Planting our own cotton will not work with establishing a garment industry, hard to beat prices of US cotton

Demand is too huge, local fish production can't meet demand

Same argument call aslo be made for mitumba

 

[The.Black.Templar]

Umeambiwa hapo ju. Things we can make locally should be the last thing to import. Lakni peasants love hearing what makes them happy, and that's what Jambasi sugu has perfected in.

Make and grow locally, we are 100% aligned....and if demand is very huge, then we start importing

But they're advocating for local manufacturing, nowhere have they said it will be a total ban, just providing an alternative source of clothes, pole pole tu sellers will see it makes economic sense to buy new ones for reselling.

If we follow the law of comparative advantage we can hardly produce anything. Anything. I can only think of coffee, and the wildebeest migration. What we need to be thinking about is how to make our production system as efficient if not better than our rivals'. We start with our own little cotton and incentivize our neighbours in the EAC to grow some too. In exchange we can motivate UG , for example, to increase her palm oil production in exchange and we trade with our currency/cies. We can't lie down to die.
Edit - Don't forget we are short of dollars.

Already we have very many sellers buying new (ex China, Malaysia, Turkey) from Eastleigh and selling in markets side by side with mitumba sellers. Mitumba will be edged out by market forces, not policy.

I think policy should edge it out.
Wearing used (read dead people's) clothes is lowering one's dignity. Can you imagine nguo za maiti? Including inner wears.

 

[DeepInYourMind]

It is in politicians' interests to keep people poor and desperate. If you are constantly worried about what you will eat tomorrow, they can keep you on a short leash and feed you crumbs.

You are therefore unable to use your full God given abilities to think and plan on what is best for you and your dependants in the long term.

A wheelbarrow cannot uplift anyone out of poverty. It will just keep you alive for a little longer so that you continue suffering.

I knew two youngish men who pushed trolleys around town back in 2014. One is now driving and both their small businesses are doing well. All from mia mia za trolley.

Sh1,000 daily is enough to get a willing person out of poverty.

Tuambie za kuiba stima or what else you are well versed in. Story za wheelbarrow na cottage industries kama hujui achana nazo.

I also know someone who sells smokies and boiled eggs, and makes a profit of 7k a day.

Acha ufala. You don't. You trash it because you are ignorant.

A lazy trolley pusher will make a thousand a day on average. That's only ten 100-bob trips which don't even take 20 minutes. Roughly a trip an hour. About 20k a month. Enough to lift anyone willing out of poverty.

This is your typical trolley pusher.

Then why are you complaining when Jakuom threatens a ban?
