I didn’t really know if I were gonna care about this interview🤷‍♂️. I somehow found this video few minutes after being posted and hit the link because I was kind of curious on how Kenya’s leadership approaches to Journalists (people’s representatives). I am indeed surprised and amazed by the transparency of Pr. Ruto & the Amazing journalists (six of them) indeed representing their peoples question. Regardless, if the leader during 15mon presidency had mistakes or not, the way he approached to them itself is extraordinary, wisdom and transformational. God bless 🇰🇪🤞

[@franciskimathi9822]

i may not agree on some areas but i must say the president is in touch with all the sectors of economy, secondly, he is one of the few African presidents who can invite journalists to ask him such hard questions. however, these journalists needed to do a good research before coming to handle President Ruto. He is too briliant for them

I appreciate the president for the well outlined interview on his way forward I find the interview to be very informative as far as the presidents responses are concerned. As for the journalist I did notice a sense of discrimination (if I can call it that), on the Swahili speaking journalist especially whenever they’re trying to raise a question towards the president I saw instances where they talked over them, leaving a sort of “look down upon effect” on them and their questions.

It is very interesting to listen to this discusson from Trinidad which is a producer of natural gas and vastly declined supplies of petroleum. Removal of gas subsidies caused fuel hikes on 3 different occasions last year! Within recent weeks, the Prime Minister of this energy based economy explained to the population that it took them 9 YEARS to renegotiate the contractual terms with international investors in the energy sector to secure better $ returns in the face of declining petroleum reserves. A non-energy producing country does NOT have this option. He said that this country administered its own [supposedly bitter] medicine to avoid the alternative of borrowing from a global financial institution like the IMF. Is Kenya in a position to do this?

But time will, as i wish him all the best.

Yes Kenya is in the same category as Morocco and South Africa. The question our beloved president should ask himself or investigate further is one of value for the tax revenue in those countries as compared to Kenya. 70% of the tax revenue is misallocated, misappropriated or simply stolen hence leading to no value of the tax revenues
