Last year it was 2.03 trillion kshs that almost 20b in ordinary taxes alone..this year it's up 20 percent almost....and we have not added non tax revenues.Ruto gov intends to move it 30B ordinary revenues in next year https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjp36DHvM36AhUMw4UKHTynCiYQFnoECBMQBQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kra.go.ke%2Fnews-center%2Fpress-release%2F1752-kra-exceeds-revised-target%2C-records-highest-revenue-growth-in-history%23%3A~%3Atext%3D2.031%2520Trillion%2520for%2520the%2520Financial%2C(FY%25202020%252F2021).&usg=AOvVaw0sd9dUqbuXGoYGG1AYy2oq

The problem is not tax collection its expenditure 50% of all tax revenues is lost through corruption

Shma:


There are 4 regions on the continent: North, East, South and west. When you speak of 2regional powers then ignore the two regions, then your point will be presumed as guesswork.

For instance, Nigeria is a regional power in west Africa.
Kenya is the regional power in east Africa.

South Africa is the regional power in Southern Africa.

South Africa as a Regional Great Power:
South Africa is the wealthiest, most populous and militarily the strongest state in southern Africa. There is no clinical definition of the southern Africa region, but it generally consists of 10 countries: South Africa and its former colony, Namibia; former Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique; former British High Commission territories of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland; and former Central African Federation members, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The region is basically a geographic unit, but it also contains states which have historically maintained a network of commercial, political or communications links with South Africa

Then Egypt is the regional power of North - Arab land.

What about Algeria

rvp2018:
How does he transfer that to Raila and rally them when he is hiding in statehouse afraid to be heckled.Looking at Martha poorly attended rallies she cannot manage it alone.Unless uhuru engages directly which could cause image problems his jubilee folks are doing everything to distancing themselves from Raila..so Raila support base in Mt Kenya will remain at best 25 percent..if not even worse than that...Uhuru himself has an image problem as he seen by Mt Kenya has having dropped kibaki economic ball and bringing shame to the community by presiding a collapsing economy...so I don't see much hope for Raila in Mt Kenya.Maybe in a rigging schemes he stand a chance..

Uhuru kenyatta has outperformed kibaki by far in terms of economy if he could have stand again I would give him my vote

rvp2018:
Ruto who is one front runner is now live on NTV. I am personally deeply involved in his campaigns and I cannot be objective - but I believe Ruto will beat Raila like an african drum. Ruto is intelligent, charismatic, well spoken, hardworking and a natural leader in the mold of Meles Zenawi, Kagame and Museveni in East Africa.

currently I will vote for no one in this election

GeneralDae:

I see. I read that Rwanda refines gold in their country without having gold reserves .
Small country, Big God .

Kagame is good at pr but he's ruining Congo

Baliv254:
new

Nice stuff

GeneralDae:

I see. I read that Rwanda refines gold in their country without having gold reserves .
Small country, Big God .

Kagame and museveni have messed up Congo in a big deal.. kagame will then play the victim nasty guy

GeneralDae:
What's happening with Rwanda and Congo? I thought Congo just celebrated their entry into EAC? Can the EAC do something to resolve the growing conflict?

Rwanda has been f.cking Congo for a long time Rwanda needs to stop destabilizing Congo

GeneralDae:

You have one of the best road networks? really?

Yes we do any evidence to prove otherwise

Shma:

You Really like throwing words around. Are you paid for typing rumors or smt?

Where do you find energy to argue with such outrageous people

jl115:
if we take your current growth of 2.3% and use your own 47million claim then in 2022 your population is already over 50 million

and south Africa population is stagnant I see you there
We add 10 million averagely every decade is funny how we will add 15 million in 5 years to overtake South Africa

jl115:

It's not.... You should be spending 20% of GDP instead you are spending 9% on infrastructure

2. You will overtake our population in 5 years.... That isn't up for debate but an actual statistical fact

It won't happen boy now we're 47 million for us to increase by 13 million in 5 years is impossible

jl115:
your infrastructure gap is 11% of GDP ours is 0.6%......

Also our GDP growth rate will never reach that of developing countries with high population growth rates like Kenya.... We are aiming for 5%

the infrastructure gap is reducing with massive investments in infrastructure...
Your population is higher than Kenya's and it's unlikely kenya will overtake you so stop hiding behind population growth.

Shma:

But productive population will still stand out because that is what makes Kenyan economy. Our economy is driven by our brains - not minerals.

Yeah human resource

GeneralDae:

All sources online put your population around 55 million. How come?

I don't know where they got that figure I was counted like all other kenyans by the government and the figure was 47 million

Shma:

You're rotating at that angle, while we're reducing year in and year out.
If we reduce 0.2% - 0.3% every year, it means we will catch up with you in 4yrs Max. By then, your population with the 1.3% growth rate will be at 70m while kenya will be playing at 61m with 2.3% -1.3%(2026).
Once we hit 1.3% in 2026, our population will be growing at a parallel line - and catching up will be near impossible.

By then they will not use population growth as an excuse

GeneralDae:

Kenyan population is 54 million

2019 census figures 47 million

jl115:
for the most part yes........I will concede that Zuma as plundered our economy however under normal circumstances yes, the bolded is true....and since the ANC very very likely won't be the ruling party in 2 years expect SAs economy to recover back to 5-8% growth by 2030

Kenya too has had a fair share of mega corruption scandals but it has never staganated for years and years.many African countries are bridging the infrastructure gap so you must accept that

jl115:

My bru??

Kenya population 2050 - 90 million
SA Population 2050 - 63 million

In fact I think you might have already caught us...just have to check

That's not correct
Kenya's current population is 47 million
Unless you south Africans will not give birth for a long time

jl115:
Ok and lets say they are under construction...how is 32 more than 58 berths which is how many Durban operates?

I never said it's More

jl115:
When did I base everything on population growth? I said it's the main driver....and Tanzania like Kenya WILL overtake SA in the very distant future.

Your talk says so.. you mean to say South Africa can only be overtaken by other African countries because other African countries have high population growth... which is a lie South Africa will be overtaken because your economy is stagnanting as simple as that

jl115:
ok what about the other 29?

Still under construction my boy

jl115:
Population Growth is.....because of your population growth you should be spending 20% of GDP on infrastructure....currently you are on 9% meaning a 11% deficit......

No lt's a simple question you have refused to answer if you base everything on population growth why has Tanzania not overtaken you

jl115:
Yeah I know construction has begun but it looks highly unlikely it wont be completed!!

It will be completed..the 3 berths are already operational

obaaderemi:
Dangote was supposed to open a cement factory somewhere in Kenya. When he changed his mind, the poor Kenyans started crying saying they were waiting for the Nigerian to come and save them from unemployment . That was about 6 years ago.

You wish

AfriqueDuZuid:

It doesn't matter what you think

I never said it does but it won't happen

AfriqueDuZuid:


Just like SA been going downwards

But your growth is 2 times higher than SA thus saying in 10 years Kenya is likely to have surpassed SA population

Population I don't think so economical you maybe right

GeneralDae:

Who are the top black Kenyan businessmen in Kenya and what are they investing in?

Oooh the race card

Uhuru kenyatta and his fellas are very rich

AfriqueDuZuid:


As said higher population plays a role in economic grown

Infrastructure development not so much

South Africa has a high population why has it stagnated
