KENYA does NOT WANT to be A SINGAPORE or CHINA which are ecnomically OWNED by FOREIGN MONOPOLY comapnies! WHEN these STATE CONTROLLED MONOPOLIES in RUSSIA LEFT RUSSIA basically COLLAPSED! SO KENYA is NOT LOOKING for IMPERIALISTIC "investment" but TO BECOME A MANUFACTURING HUB not a SOCIALIST SOCIAL WELFARE STATE invested by FOREIGNERS!....when this FOREIGN Mpesa LEAVES and returns to VODACOM its mother FINTECH, KENYAN FINTECH will just COLLAPSE!!...so WHAT good is THAT? in the LONG TERM?....

[@TimelyInspiration-qp7yi]

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.

[@jimmychu_]

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!!!

[@GabrielMcO]

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.

[@KiguruNganga]

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.

[@TheTeddykimani]

yet we have them all but we choose not to exploit

[@ngethekinyanjui2124]

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.

[@tosti6810]

We've also got great deposits of coal, uranium, rare earth minerals

[@patriot_2022]

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

[@patriot_2022]

@@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.

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

@@portiaaudi4406 Oh I seriously hope he isn't. Because it will be very sad for us. But so far not so good.

[@death_parade]

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.

Where few politicians control the huge wealth of the country

[@daudikabaka7797]

infact. Thieves. Not even politicians

[@robertgaya2292]

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.

[@Hill.3669]

@@kevinchege6323 A quick Google search with Kenya's presidents' name plus the word 'corruption' brings back over 300 articles in which he's implicated. That signals to two things: a weak prosecution/judicial system and the rot in your nation. The odds of the sun rising in the West are higher than Kenya becoming a Singapore lol!

To say the truth , insecurity aroumd kenyan neighbours had really affected kenya"s upward trajectory. And out of kenyans resiliency its economy has been able to survive all the shocks. Retired President said kenya's oil is its human resource.

Please do a video about Malaysia vs. Singapore. Malaysia had the same advantages as Singapore geographically, the same post-colonial institutions, and educated workforce. It has even more advantages such as control of the Straits of Malacca, a long coastline, natural mineral wealth, agriculture, more water resources, and vastly more land. Yet it has been handily beaten by tiny Singapore. I have my own opinion of the reasons, but I would love to hear your take on it.

[@StoicSymphony]

While Kenya has the potential to be an economic powerhouse, the current direction of the country is dire. The politicians are corrupt and not invested in developing the country.

[@njambizzy]

I guess you weren't listening and only want to listen to the dirge replying in your head.

[@StoicSymphony]

That's my opinion. You are entitled to yours too@@njambizzy

[@samikovu5788]

True. Our youth need to look at where exactly we're heading, if it's a fitting direction, if those leading us there despite loud rhetoric and PR are up to the job and merit their jobs by their accomplishments or by poor politics. We the youth are 80% of the population and can mobilise our knowledge and numbers to put forth worthy leaders for elections and phase out those who have continuously let down our country by either doing their jobs partially or not at all while burdening our generation with huge debts for which we see non commensurate results.

The MPESA is impressive vut considering other African countries like Zimbabwe have had such services from the likes of Econet for 2 decades as well is not all that impressive but it's great. I'm happy for Kenya as an African
