    The fact is that Kenya needs a very lean government and extensive austerity measure. We cannot continue funding a bloated and wasteful government. President Ruto depleted his annual budget by December last year, just months after taking office. Same case with Riggz. They were added about 5 billion or thereabout in the supplementary budget. We have overrepresentation in Parliament (349 MPs vis-à-vis 290 constituencies). 47 County governors in a nation of just 51 million people. 67 Senators, 1480+ MCAs etc. We are choreographers of our own downfall. The inevitable economic collapse will slap each Kenyan to reality. That's when we will forget our tribal connotations and understand that voting does not just mean standing in a box and randomly ticking boxes!

    To finance his massive building projects, Solomon had taxed the people heavily during his reign. Following his death, the ten northern tribes appealed for relief from the heavy tax burden, but Rehoboam refused. The Israelites returned home in rebellious anger. Rehoboam sent the head of that day's Internal Revenue Service to either collect some overdue revenues or negotiate. The Israelites assassinated him. Fearing the northern ten tribes' secession there was a war but God intervened.

      A default will force creditors to the table to restructure the loans, so if gava goes prepared they will be able to renegotiate better terms.

      @@jacksonmichael5603 it is wise because a lot of our problems, as far as national debt goes, odious or not, exist because international trade is usually done in USDs. An argmuent could be made that the loan negotiations were carried out in bad faith as their value was calculated in USDs, not the KES and there were no provisions for its instability for factors that happened that affected its value that had nothing to do with us. The $ is no longer stable, so defaulting is a soft approach to decouple the kenyan shilling from the usd
      secondly, context is everything when it comes to this topic. it's true that things would become more expensive should we default. but what things, specifically? that's the real question. defaulting essentially means that international trade would become damn near impossible. this won't necessarily be a bad thing for us, if you pay attention to the kind of products we import. after all, everyone knows that there are things that we import that we have no business importing. i could make an argument that defaulting would be a good thing for our economy as it would force us to stop importing products we could otherwise manufacture and produce locally
      thirdly, in a separate video, this guy and omtata essentially make the argument that we already paid off our debts. someone simply stole those funds. if we default, an audit would have to take place to find out where the money went, and those responsible would have to take responsibility for the trillions we owe
      fourthly, kenya is a very attractive investment hub to the international community. even with our country's infamy, as far as corruption goes, it remains one of the best places on the continent to do business. our corrupt way of life makes us attractive to the rich. how many countries do you know of where you can literally get away with attempted murder if you buy your way out of it? so whatever bs we have to deal with should we default would blow over after some time. the effects would only be temporary.
