Don't think like a two year old.
There is no beauty in calamities. Mount Longonot, Mt. kenya, and many more were all active volcanic mountains - (only good for geographers and scientists but not for the country and any human,) luckily, they are now dormant. Just like floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis; Calamities are more detrimental and catastrophic to human beings' lifestyles.

Please, don't hype calamities.

The amount of foolishness u slum dwellers possess is unimaginable

At first a slum dweller posted sand dunes from your northern desert,you boasted about it as a natural beauty.
Minutes later I posted a calm volcano which is so beautiful to the eyes, since u don't have it you now call that a calamity!

But your desert with all those stupid dust isn't a calamity? Is that not a curse?

And the most stupid because USD exchange rate is beyond Ghana gov It cant control it; They are not the US Fed Reserve Bank

They know that, they are protesting due to high VAT's as well.

Today Mashujaa Day celebrations were marked by very low turnout.

The number of empty seats were more than the people who attended.

Infact if school children boycotted the event,the son from kamagut would be adressing less than 1000 people and birds from popular carnivore restaurant.

But why did kenyans boycott Mashujaa Day celebrations?

Because Ruto seems to be changing goal posts on everything he had promised hustlers .

Like he is appointing billionares in his cabinet(dynasties) instead of mama mbogas and mkokoteni pushers as he had promised.

Secondly ,he is yet to reduce the cost of living.He is only speaking too much without mentioning the prices of FUEL and UNGA.

Thirdly,he has issued new conditions on who will benefit from Sh 50 billion hustlers fund i.e you must save to receive the funds.That is NOT what he told hustlers during campaigns.

@KAZ: Tafadali, can you provide recent updates on these projects ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPpcP7kfQ5s

Project 14: Zanzibar flyover...
The contracts have been signed few months ago.Contractors are in mobilization.

Project 13: Dodoma outer ring road....

It's now under construction. Prime minister visited a site a month ago.

Ruto cabinet has yet to be approved yet he has already achieved so much with old cabinet.
This celebration was obviously not well organized as Matiangi and Kibicho are most of the time depressed & scared together with Azimio folks.
They will soon be going to jail.
Remember Ruto will do 10yrs.
Then another Kenya Kwanza does 10yrs.
Prepare for the long term.

Do you need reminding about your LDC status? Tone down your stupidity retard..

Finally - Ruto intends to ensure almost everyone get proper fiber to home internet - plus other serious reforms.

I didnt see a BRT there. I have watched Dar one - and that is BRT. Lagos is like Thika road with service lanes for matatus. Your BRT is an epic failure. I doubt someone using it makes a time savings.

This is way faster than failed BRT of lagos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_fsRxFofHo

What u saw was the first phase of the system and most of it lanes are dedicated
Here is the second phase of the brt system fully automated

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIWy8mALwAo&t=760s

R stand for RAPID - this one is slightly better - keep the okada motorbikes out of it - otherwise I dont see any difference in time saving with guys using the main road.

Thika road BRT will be gold standard because it's the median of the road - so very few disruption.

What's special in BRT buses ? If you ask me I'll tell you that BRT buses are nonsense without the special lanes. Put a BRT bus and a Matatu in the same condition and you will see Matatu outperforming BRT buses hands down.

Let me educate you
BRT is not just about the buses
Unlike Matatu which operates just like any other public vehicle on the road BRT is a system with the following features

1) Dedicated lanes and alignment.
2) Off-board fare collection.
3) Intersection treatment.
4) Platform-level boarding.

Are you blind? I was comparing between BRT buses and Matatu. I didn't compare BRT system with the Matatu. By the way, what do you have down there in Ghana?

It's quite sensible when the business class act to put pressure on govt. There's no docility in politics here.

They are not talking about the dollar but the Cedi.
They're talking about VAT and the new invoicing introduced.

Every govt has control on their own currency exchange policies and the Bank of Ghana has a Broad policy scheme to intervene which it hasn't done yet because govt has stayed their hand to proceed cautiously.

It's good that you have such organization -I see there is even one for beverages - impressive- but the issues here are cross-cutting broader economic issues - best addressed by all Ghanians - and cedis right now is just on a negative feedback loop - look like by monday it might be 15 cedis to a dollar.

Your country is tinkering on the tip - hyperinflation will kick in - if the negative feedback loop is not arrested - and this can only be done by nailing IMF deal as soon as possible

Otherwise Lebanon and Srilanka like financial crisis is landing in your shores.

Time to change that old constitution and embrace more devolution/federalism; your country is too big to be micro-managed from Dodoma. Dodoma doesnt solve anything that Dar didnt. What country need are more Dodomas all over the country.

Treasury made it's money long time ago.
Telkom started Safaricom...gov spinned off Safaricom and left Telkom with more liabilities than assets.
Now French got duped...they not only invested 390M to buy a dead thing...they didnt make a single profit....and they re-invested alot of money.
Gov refused to invest....therefore Orange shareholding grew to 70% from 50%.
Then stupid Nigerians came....they bought it for 500-600M...now have sold it for 50m under the cloud of secrecy - perhaps they bribed.
Remember to keep Telkom as going concern require lots of money.
Assest solds are re-invested to pay debts and salaries..NOBODY cash out from a dead thing. It just not possible.
The shareholders are last people to cash out.
Helios never cashed out anything except this 50m cheque... I hope they got the cheque because Ruto could as well refuse to pay
From 600m to 50m in about 10yrs
The worst investment decision ever.

It's actually worse than I thought.
See, companies like Helios are opportunistic. They look for quick profits. Kenyan government made a mistake buying Telkom Kenya back from the Nigerians. They should have allowed Helios to take the trouble of selling that company on its own. Because Helios already made a lot of money stripping the company of valuable assets:

In December 2018, Telkom Kenya sold
Extelcoms House—the multi-storey
building on Haile Selassie Avenue—to
the Central Bank of Kenya for Sh1.15
billion. Yet this was not the largest asset-
stripping deal by the telco. The previous
year, the company had sold 720 tower
sites in a sale-and-lease-back deal to
American Tower Corporation, of the
United States.
The consideration in that transaction
was not revealed at once. But it emerged
later that the deal was sealed at $235,000
(Sh28.4 million) per site—meaning
Telkom pocketed a whopping Sh16.9
billion from the asset sales.

But this is wickedness on the part of Helios. After pocketing over sh17bn from asset sales, they still took Sh6bn from the Kenyan government. Wicked and smart Nigerians, mumu Kenyans. Ruto should probe the whole deal if he wasn't on on the scam.https://nation.africa/kenya/blogs-opinion/opinion/launch-lifelong-audit-of-telkom-3981928

in the mist of what I've seen in our toolkit, none of those scenarios will happen unless the govt chicken out to blackmail.

IMF is not on the table at the moment just like how we refused the WB debt payment freeze that Kenya subscribed to last year which required that you subscribed to an IMF bailout.

Interestingly, druggie, little India is not doing much better. Ksh is falling like a rock. Or can you say your currency is gaining in value? If it's falling, then you have no say.

You're desperate to make it appear Nigerian fools are smart.
First they used 52B kshs to buy it.
Even if you assume the stripped asset were somehow banked by Helios - nonsense on steroid - they all sum up to what 21B.
Total loss of 31B kshs - without factoring opportunity cost.
Obviously the story is different - for a loss making entity like Telkom - all that money was used to pay debtors and pay salaries;
It was not banked by Helios - because Telkom would have to declare profit.
Unless you assume that Helios - had LOANed the money to Telkom - not bought Equity.
Orange had been there before - they bought it for 40B kshs
And they had to keep pumping money - another 30B kshs - until they cried.
Even now with Telkom back in gov - It will still bleed public money - until it's operationally profitable.

This was the most bone-headed move by Helios and have run without their shirt at heat of election - they must have bribed something like 10% of that 50M dollars to Finance ministry just to get out.

7% depreciation in very impressive - year to date. Ghana is doing 100%. Nigeria free floating is also at near 100%.
Kshs started at around 115 in 2022 - now has gone to 121.

Tanzania is not that too big.we have 31 regions with all those councils ( halmashauri) and some decision are made there. Again,Tanzanian poor provinces are way better than Kenya's . Turkana can be used as a case study. So why should we waste more money by having those parliaments all over the country?

That was big mistake. When everyone was running to IMF - you refused for their early intervention - because you were keen to go back to Eurobond where nobody would ask questions - and current president had promised never to go to IMF - so it was a political potato.

Now you're going to IMF in an ambulance....and IMF are not sure if they will admit you.

If CEDIS freefall is not addressed now - the hyperinflation will kick in - Cedis will go to 20, 30, 100, 1000 as negative feedback loop lead to a freefall.

In no time you'll be back to printing 50,000 cedis note just to buy bread.

Can you provide any link to show how much Helios paid for the company? The deal from onset was shrouded in obscurity. It's doubtful that that company was profitable. And some of the liabilities was dumped on the Kenyan government. Clearly, Helios had its eyes on those assets all along. Your government converted some of the company's debts to equity, and at the same time was still advancing loans to the company. How dumb can Kenyans be? Yet the Nigerians and their shareholders got to walk away with over ksh20bn while leaving your government holding the baby. Kenyan taxpayers have suffered.
