Kenya's economy on the brink - What's next for citizens?

Savage politics is a platform where we have hard-hitting raw political conversations aimed at spurring meaningful dialogues. The show is hosted by Cyrus Jirongo, a long time Kenyan politician and businessman who's been in the political space since the early 1990s.
Kipruto Arap Kirwa is a Kenyan politician who has served Kenya and the continent in various capacities. Kirwa speaks on African leadership at large, the Kibaki leadership in Kenya, his successes, and challenges. Importantly they're analyzing the issues affecting the citizens from the high cost of living and how to mitigate it, good governance and how to get Kenya effective leadership. He says we need to fix the financial wastages and stop with the brain drain of exporting Kenyans to work outside. This is savage politics.

Kipruto Kirwa most intelligent 👌

[@trukenyan]

This is a high-level of discourse that is great. Kenya thrives on misinformation, conspiracy theories and lack of engagement. It is a societal delinquency that is collectively cultural. It is vital to hear from those who have been there, and this show does that and sets the record straight. Keep it authentic and sober. This is great!

[@user-wo1de2ub3j]

President Kibaki (of blessed memory) did so much without much globe trotting. Now that we have been asked to live within our means, the Executive could learn something from that regime. Tanzania too, when President Magufuli(of blessed memory) was in office, he didn’t travel much yet Tanzanians agreed with his policies and the country was doing well. It is about trying to achieve much without unnecessary spending.

[@marymuthoni1551]

Thank you, we need more, people who speak what is right and with clean heart, God bless your heart

[@theealfahouse]

I appreciate your kind words, thank you!

[@nelsonnganga3873]

The problem with our leaders is that they'll point out issues of corruption, tribalism and other vices when they're not benefiting. It's insanely out of place when I hear Kipruto Arap Kirwa now out of government talking about the things he had an opportunity to address but didn't... What's wrong with these people?

[@danielmaitethiamemeu4482]

Leadership is everything to ensuring the prosperity of a nation. All the questions Cyrus is asking Kirwa could be fixed if we had good leadership in Kenya. The question we need to be asking is how do we get good leaders on board? How do we make it easy for people of integrity and having merits access elective offices where they can represent their people faithfully and diligently? Any country that has sustained progress recognized how important it is to set a system that attracts the very best in positions of influence. This is the elephant in room Cyrus.

[@trukenyan]

Exceptional show. I think it’s important to provide perspective with those who were there. This is a higher level of discussion beyond Simple rhetoric. Kenya societies thrives on misinformation and falsehoods, it’s a delinquency we have. This show sets the record straight, and on a higher level of discourse. This is great.

[@theealfahouse]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the show insightful.

[@evanskiyondi8557]

This man Kirwa..he's smart upstairs..he debates soberly. I have liked the show...listened to the end.

[@theealfahouse]

Thank you for watching the show till the end! I'm glad you enjoyed Kirwa's smart and sober debates.

[@crazytackler.6427]

Kirwa is a smart guy, the guy would definitely be the agriculture minister had he not been misguided to join the loosing camp in the last days of campaigning.

[@jamesbukachi6830]

This is a beautiful reflection of where we were and where we want to be

[@tonnykosgey2449]

One very intelligent conversation in so many years!I see great brains at work.How I wish such brains are tapped into the current regime.

[@drmunya]

Ruto played all of you guys.Ruto was your " Kijana ya mkono but he outdid you. Now he is the president. All you can do now is sit and talk about him. Power is taken. Not given!

[@soloman8340]

The best conversation in a long time. Let’s have more of this. Please

[@marymuthoni1551]

Thank you and asante sana for waking up

[@samuelkahuro7758]

In-depth analysis . Tribalism, Nepotism and corruption still remains the biggest threat to good governance and Democracy in Kenya .

[@kuriagithiora93]

I love it that the two attended the legendary Mang'u HS (MK's alma mater and the original source as Rais, of many of his technocrats). with a sibling those many years ago. However a kind reminder that, even those who attended "rukungu boys/girls" SS have also managed to speak and be heard in this journey of life. But do I ssay 😊!

[@panafrican.nation]

Tom Mboya, Michuki etc too are Mang'u alumni

[@zacharynyamwange2610]

Both Jirongo and Kirwa are self seekers!! wivu tu!

[@muyadavidmoses2876]

Great talk by great men. My take away is Kirwa saying he can use the parcel of land he has to demonstrate the sense of hard work without stealing more land. I hope those in authority are listening!

[@koroliof]

🔥🔥🔥

[@kuriagithiora93]

I am equally perplexed about Cyrus and his "Damascus moment." That honorable Arap Kirwa, an ex YK92 as well et al are turning to Cyrus's otherwise open dialogue channel is even more perplexing. Wonders never cease for politicians and their trade have the uncanny habit of pulling the proverbial "rabbit out of the bag" rendering previously held assumptions on a number of issues null and void. But do I ssay?

[@gerishonmwaniki5318]

What are you even saying?

[@brianajunga6246]

write simple sentences and avoid ambiguous wording.

[@MINDYourLanguage1977Series]

Didn't know Kirwa is this intelligent

[@africanqueenmo]

Very interesting

[@JackWinston-yb3dy]

Wow

[@kamasalothi1040]

They talk good talk now, but when they were in power and could've made changes, they succumbed to pressure. COWARDS

[@KinyanjuiKiuna]

[@hudumacyber9959]

It was all about power sharing of the elite!!

Hon.Jirongo my good man? Please stop placing the seats so close to each other so that you can allow your distinguished guests to stretch out....otherwise we love you and keep on doing this great interviews

[@marymuthoni1551]

And also make sure no condenming each other,

What is the function of the background projector in the wide angle shot? a real distraction to the good talk

[@benkogo5028]

Keep talking..your days are gone.

[@chikaabtwn2244]

Restating or rehashing the problem won't change the country discuss solutions!

[@theealfahouse]

You're absolutely right! Focusing on solutions is the way forward.

[@chikaabtwn2244]

What would you do differently?

[@nicholasopiyo3107]

Mr Arap Kirwa......Please tell Jirongo he is the cause of our problems today.You guys formed YK92,printed money and messed or economy...Today you try to lecture us on matters we know the root problems.

[@kuriagithiora93]

Jirongo was outsmarted by WSR during and after yk92. He's still bitter.

[@gitarimmugambi4577]

Expecting to see a non-corrupt politician in Kenya is like looking for Bengal tigers in Masai Mara. There are none.
