Jimi just stresses us out even more every time he turns up. You think it is bad and then he turns up with a baseball bat to thrash you even more.😭

JImmi has a way of presenting complex accounts analysis in a very simple manner...Jimmi ameiva accounts kabisa. I am casting my vote to have jimmi on more sessions like this...

[@trancetimk]

He has a team of forensic experts so its easy to summarise it all

[@Ndangariyakaratina]

To Jimmy, you continue unravelling the truth and thanks to your effortless vigour in this. We are in so much trouble funding a gvt that continues to lie to us Kenyans. Its mesmerising just understanding the figure work you have laid out. As an Accountant, i am bumbuzzooled.

[@isaacrurengo4690]

I'm so sorry for not voting for you Jimmi. Please accept my deepest sincere apologies 😅

[@soft-lifewithchris87]

we didnt know his game😂

[@cyruskiprop8476]

Spice!! Thanks for facilitating this talk. Brilliant content. The looting as per the talk is on a grand scale. Leaders siphoning ignorant Wanjiku with no mercy. The greed here is tremendous. Finally time has caught up with these greedy looters trying to conceal illegalities(neo-colonialsim). I haven't pictured myself picketing, but if Jimmy calls for one I will be glad to show up. I think this are the real issues kenyans should be organising demos for.

[@kennethjohn4588]

This is such an eye opener into just how the government is liable for what we are going thru as of now.....just mind blowing.

[@askunclekenn8732]

I listen to this guy speak, and I feel like crying. Our issues are right here with us, and the solutions are right here with us too. We've inclined ourselves to tribalism too much to the extent that we don't see the obvious. God help our country Kenya.

[@anthonymartial2832]

If you haven't caught what Jimmi is saying, let me summarize how I understand it; The constitution requires that treasury takes both revenue estimates and expenditure estimates to parliament for approval as part of the budget. Treasury has not been doing this. They have been taking the budget with half the requirements: only the expenditure estimates. Revenue estimates are important because then they allow parliament to know how much money we expect to collect from our taxes and how much we will need to borrow domestically. By not providing these revenue estimates, parliament is blind to how much treasury shall borrow domestically. Treasury has been doing this, and using the fact that parliament has no idea how much should be borrowed domestically, to select some nefarious domestic lenders who finance non-existent projects in return for high interest repayments. The money goes to peoples pockets instead of funding a project, and the lender gets paid back super high interest at our expense. The biggest proof for this case by Jimi is that; if you remove the domestic borrowing aspect of our debt from the budget, that is to say, assume we did not borrow or spend anything from domestic borrowing and are only left with our taxes and foreign debt... you find that we had a surplus. We had more money remaining after spending the money from our taxes and money borrowed from foreigners.. So why did we then borrow again 5 trillion, domestically, to finance what projects? I think he is right, and we are losing money to public finance thieves

[@edukin7]

😢

[@p.be.s]

Why are you mulikaing loot all, Kuria and BiggyG? Zakayo has to collect back what he spent to bribe voters. He took power and lied that there is no money at the treasury but he has not jailed anyone for stealing!

[@Machache]

Okiya Omutata appeared on this same radio and elaborated more on why and what happens to this money that is never accounted for more . He has even talked about who and when constitution was bypassed to accommodate some illegalities. Its worth checking it out

[@oscarfunnyvideos]

By presenting it like this you also forget half of the books your assume that domestic debts are not repayed and have no costs. We can't know without all the facts. But in another podcast here was said that internal Dept is more then 70% of all Dept at an interest rate of 18%. So the records are somewhere published or maybe at least to the ppl that audit the books.

[@peterkamau2014]

You are trying to paint parliament as innocent. Why do the opposition mps not raise a motion against passing the illegal bill??

[@stove7197]

These guys are doing a great job...only recommendation is they put up a wall projector to show any/all exhibit documents when they're from them.

[@jacksonmichael5603]

This just shows how the media should start investing on hosts who have an understanding on how the economy works!

[@calvoh9715]

Media schools should train people on various expertise, like economy, medicine, tech, engineering, governance, law, etc, just to have good knowledge and background to report, write, and interview on them.

[@dandee7414]

I would say Ruto is lucky to have jimmy as his advisor...even if they may disagree, if he follows his advice about odious debt by Uhuru's regime n makes sure he does not follow the same route, he will not find himself in trouble, once he leaves office

[@josephwachira4708]

You don't need to sound more intelligent. You need to work your tail off to pay for the loans that created Wanjigi and other thieving billionaires.

[@kagirimach]

What if he's complicit in some of it and both he and UK are holding each other's **lls and the only way to hide each other's complicity is to tax us even more?

[@NjorogeGATEITEI]

@@dandee7414is Jimmy really Zakayo’s adviser?

He's far from his adviser lol...I think you're confusing Jimy with Ndii the erstwhile reliable economic advisor now integrity/values turncoat

[@urbanstylesv4201]

Once again I wish to thank Jimmi for making us understand the whole public finance management of our country and the filth there in. This is patriotism. I believe these matters should be litigated and the best avenue right now is to support omtata's suit on "Finance bill 2023/24" or to initiate a fresh litigation all together. We need to straighten up this for good.

I would have said that this was a brilliant presentation if only the matters we heard presented weren't so diabolical. By not divulging names, Jimmi seems to be putting the domestic debt lenders on notice. These are the real beneficiaries of the economic crises we now find our country in. Jimmi's investigative trail therefore cannot go cold after bringing us this far. I hope that he gets to reveal the identities of the big institutional buyers of Kenyan bonds in future shows and the personalities behind these institutions.

[@TheJoker-qn6vw]

You know things were to about get really hot when even spice fm Redacted/ cut what Jimi was about to say from minute 31:05 about "who takes the next step" when it comes to holding people to account...that they had to re-insert the clip from 21:26😂 Anyway, that's why I love the show...no holds barred.

[@georgeodhiambo598]

In what capacity are you expecting him to talk about it? To what position did you elect him? Don't you have a top duo Executive thieves that you elected to run the show? Dud you elect an MP, whom together with his colleagues gave the constitutional role to oversight the Executive thieves? What's your understanding of the oversight role that Parliament has over Executive thieves? Shida yenu ni too much ushenzi! Elect competent, morally upright, people of intergrity to take charge of the Executive function. Then elect competent, morally upright people of intergrity to Parliament to oversight a competent, morally upright Executive of intergrity. It is only a fool who will hire a thief to look after his wealth, after which he starts complaining why the watchman he didn't hire didn't speak up when his thieving watchman carting away his wealth! You have to be really stupid to act that way.

[@georgeodhiambo598]

Absolutely. Most of them are very daft. And it goes back to the voters. Most voters don't understand the role of an MP. So they elect an idiotic Parliament to oversighting a cunning and conning Executive.

[@SusanSt.James-33]

Liquidity loans are taken domestically by government in order to bridge the timing of expenditures with the timing of receipt of tax revenues. In other words, there is recurrent expenditure that must be incurred ahead of revenue receipts. Operationally, it is not possible to confine borrowing only for development projects.
