If only the Jubilee government kept their promise of double digit economic growth,we will have been very far by now!

mtisTheQubit:
So true..with exception of SA the rest are just boasted by mineral stuff..am not saying that they are not doing well but we just cant rule out the effect of fossils on their economy..

By the i never realised how Kenya is growing so fast of late..

Look at Ghana readying to outpace the jealousy Southern Neighbour with almost half the population that Tz has!

mtisTheQubit:

A nice assessment although SA is now more diversified.However,you can't downplay how minerals helped it become industrialized!

mtisTheQubit:

If we keep growing at 6%,by 2022 we will have CLOSED ON both Angola and Morocco in terms of GDP.We are 'reeling them in'

2019 GDP forecast - IMF

IMF are at loggerheads with us.With Rotich being an ex-Imf,I don't trust him much holding the docket of the finance minister!

rvp2018:
Kenya GDP is now nearly 100B - by 2022/23 - it will be 150B. Nigeria cooked GDP stick out.

Ethiopia overtaking Kenya as the largest economy by GDP in East Africa was only a short lived minute euphoria like chicken sex!

tylann:
So Kenya reclaims largest east africa economy again beating ethiopia

Devki to produce 53.5 MW of energy to power its own steel factory in Kenya!

“Only South Africa has an industrial raw steel production plant and our plan is to give Kenya steel products manufacturers cheaper access to industrial raw steel. We will exploit local iron ore mines thereby helping us generate new wealth and jobs,” Devki chairman said.

https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/markets/marketnews/Chinese-firm-inks-Sh26bn-energy-deal-with-Devki/3815534-4944954-2n6sv1z/index.html

The production of local steel would greatly give us a boost as our steel import bill ranges from 0.8-1 billion US dollars!

You cannot industrilise without the economy consuming much steel,cheap steel from Devki will help us to that!

The Sky is not the limit for Kenya Airways!

Kenya Airways Group MD and CEO Sebastian Mikosz says the addition of flights to Rome and Geneva will be welcomed by both leisure and business customers.


Rome with its status of a ‘global city’ is also rich with history and culture making it one of the top tourist destinations in the world. Geneva hosts the highest number of international organizations in the world such as the United Nations (UN), making it a global hub for diplomacy.

Kenya Airways resumption of flights to Rome and addition of the Geneva route brings the destinations Kenya Airways serves in Europe to 5 and 55 worldwide.

Tickets will be available for sale beginning Tuesday with an introductory price on offer until February 15th 2019 for USD 699 from Nairobi.

“With this route, Kenya Airways will offer excellent connections from these two cities to its 43 destinations in Africa for business, diplomatic missions, and tourism. It is a perfect complement to Nairobi which is also Africa’s hub for UN among other international agencies,” Mikosz noted.

Kenya Airways launched non-stop flight from Nairobi to New York in October 2018

The airline already serves Africa, Europe, Middle-East, Indian sub-continent and Asia.

The opening of the US destination completes an essential piece for Kenya Airways’ network, cementing its position as one of the leading African carriers.

SECO Engineering Ferry Building.They are doing a great job no doubt!

They assemble but do not manufacture.They import engines,metals and also seats.We also assemble buses and trucks.We even build ships,ferry's and boats!

samsobo24:
Your Kenyan master didn't even make a comment and you are here commenting

Lagos BRTs are assembled in lagos
We exported some Armoured vehicles to UN and other countries

How many buses or cars or vehicles did I post


Just check IVM motors in Awka and see world class vehicles

Now show me Kenyans authentic vehicle manufacturing plant and not the one we all know owned by white

Buy Kenya build Kenya!

edon21:
show me your s

Terrorists are always on the move.You not only need satellites to track ones location.Surveillance drones are actually the best when it comes to RECONNAISSANCE missions! Kenya's Scan Eagle (A DRONE)has really been of immense help!

edon21:
Nigeria has about 3 geo monitoring satellite in space
how many does kenya have.
meanwhile Boko Haram location has been known since the second month of its existence

And those satelites have profited you nothing!

Maybe if the Nigerian army had some Geography in them,they'd already have found where Boko Haram operates in as far as Geo-location is concerned!

darfay:
Hope you know this is going to under state the revenue right?

You are dumb fellow, after all you are wasting your time and energy studying something as useless as geography

I still don't believe in all that power being given to counties,we can do some tweaks though like letting primary and maybe secondary education under the county governments among many others provided the National government will still keep an eye just like the way in the health sector!

rvp20183:
Yes that would make them states. That will federalism. We probably will get there eventually. But it won't be easy. They would be allowed to hire police, magistrates, judges and even adopt sharia as their state law like 12 of 36 Nigeria states did. It won't be easy because that way too much control for counties to have.

Our counties are not designed to be as independence as the Nigeria's federal governments.The only way we can make them strong is through implementation of full throttle devolution and giving them powers to collect meaningful taxes!

Danielnino00:
Your counties collect revenue from your government, our States collect federal allocation, so what is the difference??


Here's the data for states IGR as at 2017(2018 data pending)


http://saharareporters.com/2018/03/24/nbs-data-reveals-how-much-nigerian-states-generated-internally-2017


How many of your counties can generate that much??

Others wear blue lab coats showing zero trigger discipline when holding their rifles !

sufferNsmiling:
I have said this that nigerian soldiers wear civilian clothes so that when boko haram attacks they just drop their weapons I run into the villages claiming they are civilian

Our counties actually have to get something from the government,they are only allowed to collect petty taxes!

They are not federal governments!

Get a read here ! https://www.epickenyan.com/sources-of-county-government-revenue-in-kenya/

Danielnino00:
All three tiers of government have a right to federal allocation because the states aren't allowed to fully manage their resources.... But there are states that are totally dependent of the federal government.. the likes of Lagos,Ogun,Rivers, Anambra,Oyo,Kano can survive without the FG..

On the other hand,none of your counties can survive without your central government.. your government basically run the whole country. that's why Lagos's IGR is more than that of all your counties combined...

Already had this discussion with Ibrahimanis,you are late!

Danielnino00:
Proposed 33 states and federal budget 2018

I googled your budget,you can do same on ours!

edon21:
Kenyans can we see your govt budget please

Of course i got it from someone else,when you quote about Kenya it is usually from sources right? And not you! You asked where the balance went,I helped you on finding it.If you don't agree with it,challenge it!

darfay:
You just copied and pasted you didn't even understand it
