Kenya to Sell Ports, Banks, Electricity Company etc. to China
The Kenyan government is getting ready to sell 26 companies to China, some of which are very key assets, in order to meet this year's budgets. While they say it is to help bring the government spending down, some of the companies for sale are major national assets and big money makers.. I smell a rat...from china!
No wonder Kenya lead the rest of Africa in importing cars! I just hope our local car industries grow so as to reverse this trend! Good news that the local car industry is improving as witnessed in recent investments in our automobile industries!
rvp2018: What GDP - VW went there, established an assembling plant in Lagos and last year they sold ONLY 40 cars in the whole of Nigeria. If you look at their slum cities consisting of really rusted iron sheets - do you think those poor people can afford to pay taxes - if they cannot afford a decent roof? It like expecting to collect taxes from Kibera slum.
Nigeria GDP is OVER-COOKED.
Just read here - VW expect to sell more cars in Rwanda than in Nigeria. This year they are projecting to sell 100 new cars in ENTIRE NIGERIA. In Rwanda they are targetting 2,000 Units.
Help the Nigerians who are drowning trying to cross the Mediterranean by boats! When did you have capacity to help? Nigeria of all? No Kenya dreams of going to Nigeria.A country that issues out meagre salaries to it's workers despite calling itself a Giant!
bantudra: ohhh dont worry...when chinese piss you off enough you will remember us....as the south africans did back then in apartheid.....
Ethiopia is growing but is way behind Kenya on many indices.It's population is a ticking time bomb.It's overrated just like Rwanda! It's about being realistic. Mauritius,Botswana,Morocco and Seychelles are on road to become developed countries.As for Tanzania,dethrone Kenya first as East and Central Africa's largest economy and I'll give you some props!
Kazikazi: You are strange.All African countries has the potential,don't count natural resources, its all about leadership. Ethiopia is growing rapidly without minerals.Tanzania too is yet to start pumping natural gas for export. So anyone,including Somalia has the great potential
Nowenuse: The same internet has pictures of starving Kenyan masses to show, can you show me pictures of starving Nigerian masses? I dare you!
Western media with western based statistics claim half of Nigeria lives in extreme poverty because their industrialized society and minds cannot comprehend how people can eat well and stay healthy without spending a dime in a whole day. Well, we have been living that way for centuries here.
Calm down and take a chill! How about you having the most poor people in the world? But but Kenya is hell!
Nowenuse: @ TayserMahiri, Kur17, mtisTheQubit, Yobeezy, gallivant, Jonraid, GERALD710, Kikuyu1 and every other bragging Kenyan that will ever come to this thread.
You guys truly need to do something about the extreme uneven reality of that shithole you call Kenya. You guys can go ahead deceiving white foreigners and other observers who visit the CBD of Nairobi and other scripted areas in order to make them have good views of you, but you just really cannot deceive other Africans to take you guys any seriously.
Your country is a country that has the practice of robbing Peter to pay Paul. A country with the principle of taking advantage of the weak to fatten the strong.
For God's sake, how can a section of your country be living in stone age while another section brag of development or amenities of western standards? Imagine such level of double standards.
Nigeria for instance is a country where everyone is equally carried together in development, irrespective of tribe, religion or creed. This is because since ever, we have had state governments to cater for every region even when the federal (central) govt may neglect you.
How can a country have millions of citizens who starve year in year out, but yet chooses to use most of it's arable land for farming tea and flowers? Isn't that insanity? What ever could explain that?
This is the same thing that plays out in your cities. The negative effect of your fakeness, where just beside all the sky scrappers of your Nairobi, you have the largest slums in Africa sitted there and in these slums you have majority of the city's residents. The few lucky poor and low middleclass citizens who manage to escape these slums are crowded up in multiple story concentration camp houses without ventilation, just so that the few rich people can live in extremely luxurious and spacious estates?
You guys end up showing us the expensive grand buildings and structures being built in Nairobi but at the end of the day, only a tiny percentage of the populace have access to these. It's such a shame!
I respect a country like Tanzania with a lower GDP (nominal) where there is better even development across the country and a more affordable standard of living for the populace than your country where a huge section of the populace live in stone age and will need to travel hundreds of miles to ever see what a city or modern urban area looks like. Kenya, Your fakeness stinks! Go fix it!
Kenya as a country would never have been able to compare Nigeria at any developmemt index had we not been besetted by a civil war and decades of military rule just after our independence.
Some Nigerian cities were burnt to the ground during the civil war, but go to those places and you see bubbling and beautiful urban areas today, whereas you will have to travel hundreds of miles around some parts of Kenya to see any sign of urbanization. You can imagine the country comparing itself with Nigeria. Kenya has never experienced a serious national challenge like war or decades of military rule, yet you wonder why Kenya is still dragging development with other African countries whose progress was stalled for decades by war and military rule.
Kenya would never be able to compare Nigeria in any human development statistics had it not been for the Core-northern muslims we have in Nigeria who form 35% of our population. They are like our major problem here. These people have a clear anti-western and even anti-development culture, yet other parts of Nigeria have been managing to drag them forward by force. This is what true fairness in a nation is all about, unlike your country Kenya where some sections are left to rot in perpetual darkness while others make progress.
All you've posted here is utter nonsense. Can't trust you if you can't back up your claims with facts!

Maybe you should concentrate on your poor people and those who drown to reach Europe!
Nowenuse: Your citizens starve for no justifiable reasons, other than the fact that Kenyatta family and other Indian business men use the little available arable land in Kenya for Tea farming. What a joke!
Look at the screenshots below, do they look like 2011?
Kenya is just the most useless and unserious country where the government prefers to make money over the lives of citizens. At least 50% of Kenya is arable. Instead of the government to use this for intensive farming of food crops to meet the feeding demands of the populace, they rather use to it farm flowers and tea, so they can celebrate more BLANKET, TEA & BISCUIT FESTIVALS. Madness!
Port Harcourt,Calabar and most of Nigerian 'cities' can only beat Mombasa in population but not in terms of total wealth held and the number of high net worth individuals!
forgiveness: Honestly, this city is equivalent to Calabar. You can't compare it with 5 or 6 major cities in Nigeria.
