Guys hapa kwa ground we are experiencing poor cash flows in areas where we are operating informal business and even when clients walk in they have weak purchasing power. I have personally closed down a cereals business. This makes me wonder what Kenyans are managing to buy, if they can't buy food.
very educative...Asante
I am a researcher and this is a very positive engagement. How do I get to join the next Webinar?
Excellent
Very informative and nice presentation., it's pretty clear this bill ain't for the common mwananchi

Economic freedom in Drc my country
Hiyo ni system itakuwa linked with KRA database put every one property and business . Its plan to tax kenyans more. Every Kenyan must avoid hiyo systems
The real budget deficit is 500 trillion shillings and intrest is 70 trillion shillings in dollars denomination. Kenyans lipa next 800 years. The numbers kenya government patia are erroneously
Why always eyes on African population???
Very informative
The core assumption of prorating revenues over 12 months is central to the presentation, but it ignores that close to 32% of revenues are achieved in Q4. Best way to assess this would have been to use the y/y growth rate in taxes and assumed the same performance to year end. Recurrent expenditure was adjusted higher to reflect unbudgeted spending - this isn't mentioned despite a lot of chatter on wastage. Allocation to OP was already at 100% of budget by early October (~4bn was disbursed in final months towards elections)- clearly there would have required extra allocation. On the foreign currency borrowing - the adjustment is In line with the expected syndicated, IMF and WB disbursement. There are a lot of challenges, by all means, but leaving out public information that could provide some counterbalance information leaves the report skewed and borders on scaremongering. Ghana, Sri Lanka and Zambia had already massively used Central bank funding the government - a lever we haven't touched yet. We aren't in the same trajectory
First, thanks for the point about pro-rating. You would have to be extremely optimistic (perhaps justifiable in the times) to believe that the entire tax revenue gap will close in the fourth quarter. And it is stated that it is possible to close the gap but that it will be tough. We shall revisit that when the year closes. Secondly, you seem particularly obsessed with explaining to us why some budget lines had already been exhausted and you might be right. But our interest is not to read minds but to state the fact that certain MDA's had spent beyond the appropriated amounts prior to the Supplementary Budget being passed. And that is fine too because supplementary Budgets exist for a purpose. On Foreign Currency borrowing, you explain that the adjustment is in line with expected borrowing from WB, IMF, and Syndicated Loans. Again, you construct a strawman because we do not claim that there is no prospect of new cash, just that a big part of that gap ( our primary concern) depends on transactions happening in the final quarter. Finally, it is stated clearly what we wanted to focus on: Explaining the Gaps and what it tells us about the state of the Fiscus. My dictionary meaning doesn't lead to the conclusion that explaining the data is the same as fearmongering. But since you really are not scared yourself, perhaps you should grant other people too, the benefit to make their own conclusions.
The thing about economics and economists is that there are no solutions but tradeoffs. Tradeoffs are hard pills to digest but that's how life is. Good conversation here.

NO TO GMO. THANKS.
NO TO GMO. THANKS.
Very interesting and insightful conversation. I look forward to reading the book. Edward Paice has given us much food for thought. Next time please make it a more interactive conversation where participants can ask questions or make comments. Thanks
How we need to focus on is governance can we copy Chinese government structure
not an intelligent comment.
@@dddz961 you will really tell me that chinas political system with proven governance and checks and will not work for the betterment of eac
@@dddz961 how do you think the eac should work allow politicians who don’t know about the communities to be elected or American style where ppl elected thru $$ and policies benefit only the rich
Why not have IEA do a model economic policy that is likely to work for our country and let the incoming government implement instead of waiting for people who might not be privileged to have access to resources and expertise such as your to draft a document only to be discounted by you.
the webinar was quite insightful except for the network downtime experienced by the presentations .I think that should be checked to bring clarity in the information being conveyed
This could the most dynsmuc economic zone in Africa. I wish them well.

I don't think the political question should be muted. I agree trade can bring people together and hopefully that will be the result.
When did Abiy Ahmed express interest in joining the EAC that seems like huge news.
Great work!
The question of income redistribution and poverty must be looked at from the lens of "poverty trap". If a given population is not in this trap, there is a possibility of having a Pareto improvement
Very rich and informative. Thank you
thanks for sharing this!
Great and eye opening webinar especially on pump price buildup
But Daudi is morally bankrupt. If the heavyweights are all corrupt, yeah, you stay away. You support a clean underdog.
By now it's a culture of embezzling. The only way to end the culture is to end the permanence of public sector employment. And decouple the powers to employ from those serving. The police, parastatals, commissions, all should have a lifespan of 5-7 years. Finally, employ strictly meritocratically. Even 10% merit based employees, who are not cronies of their seniors will obstruct if not blow the whistle on corruption. Edit: listening some more, Ndii mentions that those who have been used for corruption in the past are at risk of corruption in the future to keep their cases hidden. ... Need I say more? As they cycle out, it keeps skeletons out of the system. For EACC and police/CIDs etc, it keeps information flowing into the public. Prevents walls from hiding the ongoings of these offices.
My thoughts on this issue: Its apparent that theft of public resources is rampant in both county and executive offices. Asking ppl to return the funds is unlikely while expecting investigative + prosecutorial agencies to act on high profile economic crime is unrealistic. In addition to setting up an Economic Crimes Tribunal(as Daktari suggests),what if we also pass legislation to convert the stolen funds into public debt? My reference is Ch12 of the Const ,Article 214 on Public Debt - where Parliament may provide for charging all or part of the public debt to other public funds. We can argue that stolen taxes is still public funds hence legally able to charge it. Under amnesty,we negotiate with the affected persons and convert it to a loan charged under the prevailing Tbill/bond rate,payable over a period of time. We avoid the current court processes altogether because these people have the money to undermine legal pathways. This way, The State will receive much needed cashflow and a new asset class is created. Will appreciate to hear what yu think.
Is ruto suddenly a progressive due to circumtances he is not in the loop. Ruto is part of the problem with graft. If ruto becomes president, Imagine the many favors he has to dish out to those who supported him being that many who are supporting him have cases of corruption against them. NDI i belive you are taking the easy road jumping on the ruto bandwagon because you perceive him to have the greatest momentum amongst other candidates come the next election, especially with the fervent support he has in Mt. Kenya because without Mt Kenya ruto can not win the election. yes NDI you deserve criticism from those who have fought to liberate this country from the corruption vice. You seem to have given up on this fight and decided to go to bed with sheep.
Although I still need more convincing on the prospects of Ndii's proposals, I think this is a very important conversation. What, indeed, are the chances that we shall get a totally clean leadership in our lifetimes considering our ongoing political and social cultures?
Great forward conversation
.. Arguably one of the most sober conversations in recent times.. I actually doubt all viewers will absorb the weight of the discussion.. Good work Economists.
Dude, I'm still digesting the Ruto Serena part. It will take me 10years to digest that maybe😂😂😂
Have come across many posts online disagreeing with Dr Ndii but none of them have pragmatic alternatives.
Since political activity is funded by wealthy people who get 'something' in return, then political activity is indirectly funded by the taxpayer with wealthy individuals getting finders fees.

It is shameful for a country struggling with the efforts to provide the very minimum of health,food and shelter for its citizens to exaggerate the prices of the supplies required to support the same citizens they are struggling to provide medical services to
Good point of view Kwame
Great Insight.
