I am from Somalia and I believe Kenya is the only African country that lets other Africans to trade freely with out any problem.Kenya is home for all humans.
in return people of somali origin are smuggling goods into kenya without going through the right process....or thats what you are calling trading freely
Kenyans & Indians are too corrupt, neither one will replicate the East Asian success story, as of now the burgeoning Indian population is completely choking off any opportunities of indigenous Kenyans climbing up the lower middle class economic ladder.
Our economy is slowing down, Uhuruto messed us up badly. You might not see it now but 20 years from now everything will be extremely expensive with a higher unemployment rate than today. If only wecould reduce our corruption to 30% a lot would change, without that we ain't going anywhere
Every UA-camr has to make a video about Kenya since we kenyans watch everything about kenya on UA-cam. Anyway kenyas biggest resource is its people focused, hardworking and goal oriented thats why we run and win marathons.
Kudos to Kenya from Nigeria. Despite their problens, their leadership and citizens are always working to inprove and advance their country with good socioeconomic policies and it shows. They clearly took the good aspects of what the British left them (democracy abd capitalism) and combined it with their own culture and practices to help advance their country.
Kenya was the first country in the whole world to invent mobile banking (Mpesa). More to that, Kenya is the only country that has a national park inside it's capital city, Nairobi, in the whole world
It's true actually, Kenya was the only country at one point that used mobile transactions, the system works well in the continent as it's young and growing. Kenya is the first to use a Mobile transaction system on the planet and it's success is the reason why it spread to multiple other nations@@allanr.okinyi8641

This are just a piece of shit scammers trying to leverage your money.Can't you see the messages are quite suspicious.Stay away from such.Don't even try to contact them.
Great assessment. One thing to note is that Kenya never gave importance to minerals and oil in the past and has risen mostly due to its human resources. But such interest has picked up over the years. In January 2024, the country announced the discovery of significant coltan deposits. The Constitution already has mechanisms to prevent challenges bedeviling other African countries, which include the classification of certain minerals to be of strategic imperative (such as coltan) and, hence, requiring a nationalized mining approach, rather than concessions to foreign companies. A geological survey revealed that the country may have over 900 different types of minerals. Therefore, besides adopting the Singapore model, the country can also leverage minerals to augment the strengths it currently enjoys.
Ive been looking into our mineral Laws etc, cause thats a concern i also had..... My Ideology- ( If it wont benefit everyone - leave it in the ground) -- And not an ounce should be dug up until factories are built FIRST!!!
We all know what will happen if these minerals are commercially exploited. The proceeds will only line the pockets of few powerful individuals. Won't benefit the rest of the country.
Kenyan here, I've seen a lot of those geo-spacial surveys and I doubt we'll mine for most of those minerals coz most of them offer insufficient deposits. Our law also requires mining companies to initiate land reforms after exploiting land and most companies don't want to coz it eat into their profits.
Similar with the USA 🇺🇸, which when starting out didn't have a dependence of minerals and fossil energy. It depend on its Human Capacity, unlike the South American Countries.
It's absolutely impressive how thoroughly you have done your homework. I certainly didn't expect anything even close to how accurate this video is. This is a true picture of the Kenya we're currently grappling with.
Ppl are so salty in the comments lol why don’t you negate one thing he said?Im Nairobi born and raised.We’ve worked through low and high water for our kids to have a better world.And we will still continue.Bet.
@@arafatbashir576 when you see an African country developing you can never give credit to the locals but to the west?We were a British colony and we fought for our independence,MauMau.We used to give aid to Singapore in the 70s.We built our own.
Am a Kenyan but am not sure we are heading towards that direction. Singapore had the most efficient leadership led by lee Kwan Yew. Kenya is an amazing country but corruption is an issue
But Kenya is only richer than its african neighbours, outside of the continent your country is fourth world. You don't even have nice roads there. Nigeria does. Sorry for telling the truth.
Did you know that once leaders of Singapore and Malaysia came to Kenya for benchmarking on how to run a robust economy in the 70s? Once Kenya even gave loans to South Korea, and even sent food aid to the Koreas during the Korean war?
Then Moi came in and let the IMF/World Bank run the show, just like his student Ruto has done. THese 2 men are agents of the west and kenyans are fools for electing a person that doesn't know what he is doing.
We Kenyans are experiencing the worst economic hardship since independence because of poor leadership from the top of the government,,other than that my country is a Gem 💎 full of wonderful industries people
In kenya, we don't have oil, we don't have gold.We are not endowed with mineral like other African countries.No government social welfare .... We either strife to succeed or perish.
Kenya has oil in Turkana and gold deposits in Western Kenya. What are you talking about? It's just that we have never depended on minerals to build our economy. Instead, we value service. Hence tourism, IT, agriculture, etc.
Actually, we have all of that. Only that, it's like someone made sure we will not utilize any of it. There is huge gold reserves in Kakamega that no one is doing anything about. There is massive oil in Turkana, and potentially gas in the South Rift regions (had rumours awhile back about gas somewhere, which they are keeping secret until some important people have the land) And what is really happening to the oil in Turkana ? Then recently they said we have coltan in several places. All of those minerals, and all those we used to read about in primary school social studies ? The problem is clueless governments, that never come to power with the intent to grow and diversify (things they talk about a lot), but only to control sharing of the little resources we have. Haven't you seen them lately go to benchmark in Tanzania about "how minerals can be used to drive economic growth" ? I bet the Tanzanians were surprised
@@rosam674 It's not just "depend". We do nothing with the minerals we have. Can you imagine, the majority of mineral exploitation going on is artisanal. It is the locals sitting there in the sun and hitting rocks with nyundos, they sell very cheaply, and then the government celebrates that and they say they are improving our lives by supporting artisanal mining. Instead of establishing state mining companies and doing something serious. Even heard that people have been selling coltan for years in Embu to business people from Rwanda. Smart Rwandans surveyed the region with their intelligence services, and found out about Coltan in Kenya before the Kenyan government did. The locals have been crushing those rocks and selling to Rwandans without even knowing what they are, or why. How stupid our governments are! And far worse when you think of people like RiggyG leading decision making. Ruto is said to be smart, but he is not any different. Only good at filling his stomach. Otherwise he would never have time for the kind of people that form his administration.
I'm half kenyan Somali and i love seeing good things about the country. It's like my second home and I'm probably gonna live there at some point so it's nice to see how Kenya is doing well
Kenyan politicians have more wealth than any country in the world... Am surprised you didn't highlight on the wealth divide... As a fact Kenyan politicians are responsible for most regional foreign investments... Africa has one problem...*Leadership*!
That is why they are great example to look up to follow so we can enrich ourselves as well. We just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Hakuna Matata!!!🎉
You pulled that out of your a s s. Nothing more annoying than an expatriated Kenyan pissing on the country from afar. Enjoy your new home and leave alone to solve our issues. Move on.
😅😅 you think they are the richest??? The true rich in kenya are very quiet. Living in affluent neighbourhoods, you never see super cars, but they are there.... i hate it!
Fine tuning governance and eradication of corruption would accelerate the pace of Kenya's growth to unprecedented levels. In addition to improving access to capital. Highly educated manpower, top level connectivity and perfect geo location.
Instead of judging Kenya from just this video i challange you to do extra research on Kenya and you will understand why the biggest companies in the world and international bodies choose Kenya as host to their regional headquater offices.Also i read an article on why a quater of staff in Newyork based UN offices will be moved to Nairobi Kenya year 2024-2025 inorder to serve the region from there.Trust me you will find something exceptional and special about kenya compared to other African countries.
Let's hope that neo-colonial tendencies don't corrupt the country - multinational corporations often control economic policy to suit themselves than the citizens
Youre speaking my mind, this mini-docu was biased and really shallow in terms of the real drivers of the Economical change Its like an essay written by a high schooler
We are becaming liars no jobs political interference this nation is starting to collapse slowly when you chase all investors by overtaxing investors what do you expect every president has his own policy every 5 to 10 years they cause disruption to businesses we are just smart but people are catching up with us
Kenya has ONE thing/resource that's outstanding, unique special - its people. With proper, just and fair leadership who have integrity, who are not corrupt and greedy - Kenya can and will be a Singapore.
It's so sad to see South Africa,Egypt,Nigeria and morrocco fall somewhat out of discussion when it comes to rising economys. But it's good to see Rwanda,Ethopia and Kenya(even though they have alot of debt)rise up.
Singapore is a tiny island on a key shipping route in the most populous part of the world. Only Singapore can do what Singapore does. I wish the very best for Kenya but it has different strengths than Kenya does
The only thing i may agree about is peace in majority of the counties but claiming Kenya is soon to be the Singapore of Africa is a far fetched dream. We are not yet there, far way to go. In Singapore corrupt people are punished severely . The opposite is in Kenya

I'm not a US supporter and US not the best country out there but definitely it is one of the best Its 100X better than African countries combined Look at per capita, HDI,Stability, population, GDP Everything US solos Even Bangladesh & Vietnam which were colony and had more brutal war in recent history are growing better than resources rich Africa Tho I don't care about Africa I was not talking about Africa I was talking about clickbait and catchy name of the video
There's a saying in Kenya, "even if you are up at 4 am everyday, without connections youre just wasting sleep".......Kenya is only good to foreigners looking to invest but miserable for most locals, resources and opportunities are hoarded by cartels and politicians, the last two generations of youth will not be able to start families let alone work in what they studied............it has led to a silent but potent culture of envy and resentment and avarice that is invisible to outsiders who are looking in, most kenyans when they are alone silently and bitterly ask themselves " why not me"? .......and then comes religion.......
Dad was Chief Engineer Communications 75 to 95 he built an infrastructure to be rivaled.Was a genius.His friend from University was my doctor..told me how brilliant Dad was.Best internet in Africa.
If Kenya maintains political stability, rule of law and continues to invest in infrastructure/people this is the basic foundation for economic success.
Many kenyans have internet so companies actually pay for online ads to gain more customers. Also data is cheaper so longform content is consumed much more than other many African countries. Very tech saavy group actually, they try
A country to reckon with . East Africa can not be seen as separate entities devided by lines drawn to create comparative grounds of contention ;we're a great African family .
Nigeria 🇳🇬 and South Africa 🇿🇦 might have the largest economies in Africa but they just don’t cut it anymore! And without even urging these two countries to respectfully move over and make way for Kenya 🇰🇪, investors are actually taking notice of the business friendly policies and conducive environment in Kenya 🇰🇪 and taking action! The fact that Kenya attracted the highest amount of venture capital funding in Africa in 2023 at $800 million, (beating SA, Nigeria and Egypt) is proof enough that Kenya is not joking around anymore!
Wait, $800 Million in venture capital funding for an entire country in a year is enough to beat SA, Nigeria, Egypt and match Kenya? Damn. Really puts into perspective how massive just a single Unicorn is. Forget Decacorns. I guess Indian startups really are awash in money, with 5 decacorns and Gods know how many Unicorns. And Chinese and Americans have even larger startup ecosystems.
This is an assumption. Corporates are the powerhouse. The new constitution has made it difficult to just take away public funds and enrich yourself without dire consequences. Many politician accounts are frozen. We thank God for tremendous strides in our Judiciary. Very independent.
The found resources found in somalia and having the longest coast in Africa can easily make Somalia the power house, Hope turkiye deal and contracts for oil. The UAE loves to see somalia down...im proud of kenya for being the top because it inspires other neighbors to become a strong region. I just hope africans can put aside hate against one another and work together to make the continent strong...
It would be nice if these advancements went along with cleanliness, eradication of corruption, and lack of order in our streets. On the ground open spaces are still dirty, and littering is all over even inside the CBD, which makes these kind of video sound sponsored. Singapore is more clean than it's advanced.
As a Kenyan, I'm here to learn about how rich my country is, a country that is so poor that accepted 200 million from the US to go kill in Haiti last year (sorry to help Haiti with their democracy issue on behalf of the US/Canada/France). A country that recently had a 70% negative deficit last year. Kenya, the Singapore of Africa.
@jameskamotho7513 I should have worded this a bit better, I got heated a bit hearing this. So for two fiscal quarters last year we did not have enough money to fund our government. The figures varied but it was estimated we needed additional 60%-70% of additional funds than what was available in our budget, and magically a few weeks later Ruto was walking in NY streets and a few days afterwards Kenyans were going to Haiti and we were 200 million richer.

Instead of judging Kenya from just this video i challange you to do extra research on Kenya and you will understand why the biggest companies in the world and international bodies choose Kenya as host to their regional headquater offices.Also i read an article on why a quater of staff in Newyork based UN offices will be moved to Nairobi Kenya year 2024-2025 inorder to serve the region from there.Trust me you will find something exceptional and special about kenya compared to other African countries.
Let's hope that neo-colonial tendencies don't corrupt the country - multinational corporations often control economic policy to suit themselves than the citizens
Name the companies...lol..
Youre speaking my mind, this mini-docu was biased and really shallow in terms of the real drivers of the Economical change
Its like an essay written by a high schooler
We are becaming liars no jobs political interference this nation is starting to collapse slowly when you chase all investors by overtaxing investors what do you expect every president has his own policy every 5 to 10 years they cause disruption to businesses we are just smart but people are catching up with us
😂😂😂😂
Kenya has ONE thing/resource that's outstanding, unique special - its people.
With proper, just and fair leadership who have integrity, who are not corrupt and greedy - Kenya can and will be a Singapore.
I am happy that Africa can change and from a continent known for poverty but soon to a continent like Europe and North America
As a Kenyan we are very welcoming.
Kenya and Botswana has the brightest future.
As a Kenyan i can say bro really did his research 🤝🏾
Agreed!
roho safi!
It's so sad to see South Africa,Egypt,Nigeria and morrocco fall somewhat out of discussion when it comes to rising economys. But it's good to see Rwanda,Ethopia and Kenya(even though they have alot of debt)rise up.
Singapore is a tiny island on a key shipping route in the most populous part of the world. Only Singapore can do what Singapore does. I wish the very best for Kenya but it has different strengths than Kenya does
Am pure kenyan love my country ❤
Welcome to my homeland 🇰🇪... Home to all human kind
I am from India. I wish all the best to Kenya.

Hello i am from singapore
Do you know Joseph prince ? I love him ... I hope he comes to Kenya one day
I'm from Kenya, can we swap countries? 🙃

Hi, your leader laid a robust foundation.
kenyans are smarter than you.
Educated people in Kenya have a good command of the English language which helps to bridge them with the outside business world.
When i was a kid, i found a book about Kenya in the school library. Kenya seemed to be a good country based on that book. That was decades ago.
As a kenyan citizen,thank you for the insight...God bless you ❤❤
I can't believe this although I am a Kenyan because the expenses for living Kenya are relatively higher compared to other east African countries
Very high man
As a Kenyan by birth, I feel proud. The future looks bright.
Proudly Kenyan 🇰🇪🇰🇪 Hakuna Matata❤
May Kenya continue to grow, love from South Africa
Excellent video report. Very positive outlook for Africa
The only thing i may agree about is peace in majority of the counties but claiming Kenya is soon to be the Singapore of Africa is a far fetched dream. We are not yet there, far way to go. In Singapore corrupt people are punished severely . The opposite is in Kenya
Great feature. Just a correction. The railway is not Chinese funded, it's Chinese built. It's not a grant but a loan
It is Chinese funded AND built
Kenya, my darling Kenya. The home of all mankind.
Kenya next Singapore! though economically better than most of African country but Kenya is not close to be be called next Singapore
It is very practical... It is already the business & logistics hub in the region.
There are pros and cons. I hope Kenya doesn't become a dense mass of concrete and foreign capital like Singapore.
GDP per capita of 1500 vs. 105000 needs wild imagination

I love this kind of positive reporting congratulations to the repoter
Why r people so bitter?? Wooi. Just go watch videos praising ur own countries,,if any😂😂

Nigeria is next China

No they don’t and they shouldn’t they are making strides congratulations to them
@@Cowboys1998 They are
clickbaiting
Only showing positive side or
Claiming short time growth as decade worth of success
@@hewas_chewasky here in America they only show the positive side to the rest of the world, have you complained about that too?is advertising something supposed to be negative or positive? Tell me one advert from food to country to vehicles that is not clickbait?? Hatred towards Africa is the biggest sin in mankind history
@@hewas_chewasky I asked you a question but you deviated from it meaning you actually said what you believe but not what the facts say. Remember you are entitled to your beliefs but you are not entitled to your own facts. Now can you reach my post and answer the questions if you want to be speak your truth
@@Cowboys1998 Question about US? I'm not a US supporter and
US not the best country out there but definitely it is one of the best
Its 100X better than African countries combined
Look at per capita, HDI,Stability, population, GDP
Everything US solos
Even Bangladesh & Vietnam which were colony and had more brutal war in recent history are growing better than resources rich Africa
Tho I don't care about Africa
I was not talking about Africa I was talking about clickbait and catchy name of the video
Hello people I am from Kenya lots of love from here
There's a saying in Kenya, "even if you are up at 4 am everyday, without connections youre just wasting sleep".......Kenya is only good to foreigners looking to invest but miserable for most locals, resources and opportunities are hoarded by cartels and politicians, the last two generations of youth will not be able to start families let alone work in what they studied............it has led to a silent but potent culture of envy and resentment and avarice that is invisible to outsiders who are looking in, most kenyans when they are alone silently and bitterly ask themselves " why not me"? .......and then comes religion.......
I feel this fastest growing economy news is meant for investors.
Great insights, its only for the whites and Indians..
Thank you for featuring Kenya❤
Ruto is our problem..... Our BIGGEST PROBLEM
That one is indeed our ONLY problem
The greatest challenge/problem is the foundation ?? Let's join hands together and rebuild our nation
As a South African🇿🇦 I am very proud of Kenya 🇰🇪 for what it is acheiving but I do not get why we need to be dragged in the process
did he just cut off the top part of africa? why??????
exactly! how stupid
Colour bar.
A nation in sub sahara region was his main topic.
Notice how he uses "sub saharan Africa"
I don't get it either, there's blacks there, but those arabs are ruling class.
@@22ndCenturyBasterdcalm yourself. Most North African countries don't consider themselves african.
Well said... everything you've reported is spot on..nice work 💯

Dad was Chief Engineer Communications 75 to 95 he built an infrastructure to be rivaled.Was a genius.His friend from University was my doctor..told me how brilliant Dad was.Best internet in Africa.
Kudos to your dad... You're so passionate about Kenya..
@@portiaaudi4406 Yes very Patriotic to both Countries as a Kenyan American.America which has given me an opportunity to help both countries.
If Kenya maintains political stability, rule of law and continues to invest in infrastructure/people this is the basic foundation for economic success.
you have to get every part of Kenya you are only showing the poor areas and ancient footage, Kenya is now miles from this footage
Mimi naeshe Kenya.Napenda nchi yangu Kenya.❤❤❤
Why do all african vloggers and content creators flock to kenya to boost their subscribers base??,,,,
Because Kenya is the technological hub of Africa and the fastest developing country in the world
Coz we has kenyans use most of our time on internet,
Many kenyans have internet so companies actually pay for online ads to gain more customers. Also data is cheaper so longform content is consumed much more than other many African countries. Very tech saavy group actually, they try
They realised that kenyans react positively when praised
@@AFRICANVINTAGE what normal human beings react negatively when praised?
We Indians love Kaneya a lot❤❤❤
Another Econ Banger!
Karibu Kenya, welcome to Kenya home of marathons
in Singapore interest on bonds and bank deposits is tax free , while in Kenya is subject to a 10% withholding tax. Kenya financial hub ? I doubt it.
A country to reckon with . East Africa can not be seen as separate entities devided by lines drawn to create comparative grounds of contention ;we're a great African family .
Nigeria 🇳🇬 and South Africa 🇿🇦 might have the largest economies in Africa but they just don’t cut it anymore! And without even urging these two countries to respectfully move over and make way for Kenya 🇰🇪, investors are actually taking notice of the business friendly policies and conducive environment in Kenya 🇰🇪 and taking action!
The fact that Kenya attracted the highest amount of venture capital funding in Africa in 2023 at $800 million, (beating SA, Nigeria and Egypt) is proof enough that Kenya is not joking around anymore!
But Ruto is. He might be the biggest saboteur of Kenyan dreams
@@patriot_2022give the guy the benefit of doubt. Uncle Bill is not all that clueless.
@@portiaaudi4406 Oh I seriously hope he isn't. Because it will be very sad for us.
But so far not so good.
Wait, $800 Million in venture capital funding for an entire country in a year is enough to beat SA, Nigeria, Egypt and match Kenya? Damn. Really puts into perspective how massive just a single Unicorn is. Forget Decacorns. I guess Indian startups really are awash in money, with 5 decacorns and Gods know how many Unicorns. And Chinese and Americans have even larger startup ecosystems.
Wewe ile bangi una vuta,,ati umeandika nini hapo....ujuaji ndo umekuzidi
Change and reformation, think and rethink.Never be afraid Kenya will make It to become one of the miracle maker
Where few politicians control the huge wealth of the country
infact. Thieves. Not even politicians
This is an assumption. Corporates are the powerhouse.
The new constitution has made it difficult to just take away public funds and enrich yourself without dire consequences. Many politician accounts are frozen. We thank God for tremendous strides in our Judiciary. Very independent.
@@robertgaya2292another foolish man...name one politician whose account has been frozen
Am happy for my country kenya . God bless my country .
The found resources found in somalia and having the longest coast in Africa can easily make Somalia the power house, Hope turkiye deal and contracts for oil. The UAE loves to see somalia down...im proud of kenya for being the top because it inspires other neighbors to become a strong region. I just hope africans can put aside hate against one another and work together to make the continent strong...
SO TRUE
Seeing an African country bound to success makes me happy. I wish Kenya all the best.

It would be nice if these advancements went along with cleanliness, eradication of corruption, and lack of order in our streets. On the ground open spaces are still dirty, and littering is all over even inside the CBD, which makes these kind of video sound sponsored. Singapore is more clean than it's advanced.
Much love ❤
hard times and challenges makes great men!!Meru proverbs
As a Kenyan, I'm here to learn about how rich my country is, a country that is so poor that accepted 200 million from the US to go kill in Haiti last year (sorry to help Haiti with their democracy issue on behalf of the US/Canada/France). A country that recently had a 70% negative deficit last year. Kenya, the Singapore of Africa.
70% negative deficit is what exactly? Of did you mean the debt?
@jameskamotho7513 I should have worded this a bit better, I got heated a bit hearing this. So for two fiscal quarters last year we did not have enough money to fund our government. The figures varied but it was estimated we needed additional 60%-70% of additional funds than what was available in our budget, and magically a few weeks later Ruto was walking in NY streets and a few days afterwards Kenyans were going to Haiti and we were 200 million richer.
From Tanzania our neighbors 🇰🇪. Well done
Ruto will transform this country 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Yeah, transform it to something worse lmao.
More cross border cooperation between Kenya and Ethiopia would boost the economy of both countries
