JKIA Will Never Make Losses: The Preferred Kenya Kwanza Model Is Looking for Adani- Willis Otieno

[@kebasomoraraa]

The problem with African leaders is that those who possess ideas on leadership are not in power, while those in power often lack any real understanding of leadership. If, in Kenya, we were to give people like myself and Senator Onyonka the opportunity to lead, we could transform the country to compete with nations such as the USA, UK, Singapore, China, and others. I strongly believe one day we will make Kenya great again ✊ 🇰🇪. Support 💪.

[@geo6460]

One day,?? That ship sailed

[@simomwangi]

Kenya was never great. It started off on a failure mode. The so called 'founding father ' is the main culprit. Now that he doesn't exist ,the burden is on our shoulders and the problem is ours to deal with. However,it's worth noting that ,even the ones that say they can change the country,once they get to power ,their brains evaporates or works only for their stomachs. The citizens never trust politicians anymore. Morara,I highly doubt your capacity to lead a polarized third world country deeply ethnic and rotten in corruption.

[@MuleNzomi]

No matter how good your ideas are, you can not achieve different results using the same system designed to consign us into oblivion. We can talk, activism, deceive ourselves until chicken pee, we end up with the Mandelas, kenyattas, kibakis, rutos, and railas. The system is designed for those clever enough to be masters to start preaching that we are victims and they will be leading us to salvation and prosperity, even you Morara. You will be leading us to your OWN PROSPERITY MOT OURS.

[@lekis5975]

​@@MuleNzomiWell said. In as much as Ruto is a problem, his MASTERS are an even bigger problem. Even if we rid ourselves of Ruto, we have not discussed the external powers who control Kenya. They oust or kill our brightest . They ousted Nkrumah Modibo Keita Olimpios Silvanos (Togo), Obote and ASSASSINATED Lumumba, Cabral, Sankara, Machel, Gaddhafi, Magufuli, Kabila Snr, Pio Gama Pinto etc. They propped up Kenyatta, Mobutu Sese Seko, Blaise Campaore, Omar Bongo. They parachuted in Idi Amin. Mugabe tried to take back the land and they annihilated him; they imposed ILLEGAL ECONOMIC SANCTIONS, CANCELLED ALL THE PRE-APPROVED LOANS, Started funding a political party and unleashed PROPAGANDA accusing Mugabe of being corrupt and inept. Are we ready to go the Zimbabwe way or are we just looking to swop one thief for another.

[@lekis5975]

[@maggieandjosephshow6052]

Why Adani? That's the big question. A company can be big but corrupt.

[@shaicagates5341]

The way Eric Latif is behaving here shows how the Kenyan media nowadays is in bed with the government. They no longer unearth scandals like they used to because they don't want to miss out on govt advertising. Wakiitwa githeri media, ama mtu aseme gazeti ni kufungia nyama they get annoyed. You people should style up. Nothing like playing the devil's advocate, they behave like govt's advocates.

[@charlesmaingi1865]

This reminds me of a prime company that went under, sold to mhindi, showed them how to work, got sacked once they got knowledge of work, today it is just a shell. Machines were removed from Kenya to neighboring country and hence loss of local employment. This sick

[@beatriceokello3276]

Surely, why Adani?? JKIA collects alot of renue per day, it can build itself. We only need smart minds like Wills, Morara, Onyonka, Omtata etc and it will be built very well. Adani should NOT be allowed in Kenya.

[@SolomonOgado]

~solo ogado~ Mwakili Otieno. Thank you for shedding light on the selling-off of Kenya’s National Assets. The JKIA, NBO, is a symbol of our national pride. The aviation industry: the aircrafts landing/takeoff charges & airline tickets taxes, bring in a lot of money yearly. JKIA is a Category 1 International Airport. This means that the airport handles 4 - 8 million plus passengers per year. JKIA is a profitable asset. The taxes, fees and other charges brings in income to for operating and maintaining the airport’s physical infrastructure: runways, parking, lighting fixtures, security systems and many others day-to-day operations. It’s also an economic booster for the City of Nairobi and its environs.

[@joseckwekesa6998]

I was having a tete a tete with a colleague from India, and asked him about Adani and their reputation in India. It is true that they run several airports in India including Mumbai airport. But his caveat was , for example Mumbai airport contract for Adani is only 5 years. Now why 30 Years in Kenya?

[@HilaryAkhaabi]

Owning the asset is different from managing it. Floating shares or bonds, who will manage the operations of the airport? I hope Willis isn’t insinuating that the government or KAA remains running the airport? Only buy shares or bonds once you are clear with expected cashflows.
