I like when Podcast is just this normal with normal glitches the point where they just stop recording without editing that part out is just so fulfilling.

[@johnmugo8290]

How I wish Jimi was my grandpa, Not for his wealth and achievements, but rather for his story telling. Jamaa ako way too interesting to listen to.

He knows what he is talking about indeed he was/still a deepstate, I enjoyed listening to him

[@voks_mburu]

this guys gives the best interviews, angenifunza Chem ningepita😂

[@kratosthe1st]

I so envy the children of this man, the amount of wisdom he has would make for amazing get togethers. Also he is such a great story teller and his ability to keep your interest is exceptional. If there is anyone who has the knowledge to run this country is people with such experience. I imagine wanjigi as a president holding his story time chronicles for the country on his free time.

[@254shorttrendystories4]

Nah ,his kids are bored by now listening to this everyday😂thats y we are here to listen because we find it interesting~back 2 class 📝

[@carolynemuthoni4580]

This man is a a treasure they will kill him. Let him just stay as our historian

[@kratosthe1st]

@254shorttrendystories4 It's not just history lessons, even general topics and advice on things that interest you. He sounds very genuin and knowledgable.

[@philipkamau254]

Grateful to Jimmy for educating us matters economics when KASONGO was on the brink of finishing us up

[@iNro64]

Amazing story Jimmy should run for president

[@sarahthuo]

Woww! Why do i feel like i need to learn kenyan history?? I like the convo 💯

[@My_fingers_just]

Jimmy aanze podcast and he brings watu to the table , for historia lessons 🔥🔥😎😎

[@hypesisqoh1266]

This has been an amaizing interview guys. Please, bring him back,I need to hear alot esp on Kasongo plans 😂😂

[@Mmmmmhhhh1]

I'm an hour in and this is a whole history lesson I didn't know, I can listen to this man the whole day

[@Ochicho_Nyase]

1:47:50 | Per this audit: Spending (excluding debt repayment): Ksh 14.6T Tax Revenue: Ksh 13.3T Borrowing: Ksh 7.7T Debt Servicing: Ksh 7T Therefore, total revenue: Ksh 21T (tax revenue + borrowing). Total Expenditure: Ksh 21.6T (Spending + Debt Servicing). Deficit with Borrowing (21.6-21) comes Ksh 600B in 10 years (~60B/year shortfall). Deficit without Borrowing: Ksh 1.3T, highlighting a significant fiscal gap. Even without borrowing, we're in deficit of 1.3 trillion. How do we plug that without measures like VAT-the 2nd biggest tax head-how do we address a 1.3T deficit? Addressing the 100,000+ teacher shortfall will further increase expenses (e.g., onboarding costs and payroll).-what's TSC allocation again, 360B? But it's easy to be politically correct. Bwana

[@user-janre6544]

Expound on expenditure

[@Ochicho_Nyase]

@@user-janre6544 Expenditure in this instance has 2 components: recurrent spending (salaries, bills, pensions, etc 14.6T) and debt interest repayments 7T. That constitutes the total expenditure.

[@Ochicho_Nyase]

@@user-janre6544 Expenditure in this instance has 2 aspects: recurrent spending (salaries, bills, pensions, etc 14.6T) and interest debt repayment (7T). These constitute the total expenditure (21.6T).

[@wheelermckinnon3682]

We can plug that 60b hole is to cut exorbitant allowances of Senate, MP,&Governors and 'discretional spending' by those people....

[@Ochicho_Nyase]

​@@wheelermckinnon3682 What's parliament's (Senate & National Assembly) budget? It's not even 1% of budget. I mean, an MP earns about a mil, including allowance-same as governors. Even if we were to say let's not pay all of the 416 MPs, that's only 416 million-not even 1 billion. I think we need to be realistic about our reality. The 1st question-what's our biggest budget item spend? Then work from there based on own source revenue capacity. Otherwise, we'll fall prey to the easy unhinged populist narratives

[@MrPendomojah]

Watched a lot of you guys over time. This has been my favorite. It could have gone on for hours and I would just have sat there and lapped it all

[@jamesnjenga5063]

I just love listening to Wanjigi's array of knowledge. Epic episode!!!!

Thank you 😊

[@denis5855]

Please bring guests who mention Mariah every 5 seconds😅. I've always wanted to know Jimmy better and this show definitely delivered especially now that we are all scouting and trying to figure out who to rally for in 2027. Shukran!

[@Biggkevvv]

Man I can never get tired of listening to Jimmy, I didn’t even realize it was 2 hours plus seated in one place. This is the only man who can liberate Kenya 💯

[@AlexMayore]

I think Jimi Wanjigi has an economical mind. He's an asset

[@jullienduta5661]

'alaah, read!' should be a sound😂😂😂

[@benburu58254]

I can listen to jimmy all day every day. I took a break from watching ‘breaking bad’ just to watch jimmy wanjigi. If you know, you know.

[@gloriaoduor3958]

hapo kwa icc cases, very sus. that explanation just said "guilty, we just didnt want the whites judging us"

[@BrianOginga]

Why can’t the opposition be objective and form a formidable coalition. Jimmy Wanjigi CS Treasury, Okiya Omtatah CS Interior, Morara Kebaso CS Youth affairs and sports, Martha Karua CS Justice and Constitutional affairs, Fred Matiangi CS Education etc.

[@victorkiptoo9839]

We need Him for a second show. Such an educative podcast. Sijawai watch episode from the 1st minute to the last,but I was glued. I loved it 👊🏾👊🏾👍🏾

[@Renson_A.K.A_RNXN]

Hii imekuwa convo moja Fresh kama Dougie! We need more of such minds on the show! 💯 😎

[@kenmwendwa1882]

Watching this is making me understand that there is so much that we don't understand about the country, thanks to the system that we live in, but super thankful that now we have platforms like this that are giving power back to the people, through informing us and telling/ documenting the Kenyan story, props to the gang and jimmy wanjigi, legacy media could never..

[@tobbiechels3641]

I know deep down wanjigi was looking at this guy and wondering 'what are these things on your head young man'😂..but this wanjigi is so wise and nonchalant

[@Huncho_taitan_breezy]

This guy he's always a good story teller

[@Alexmwendwa-94]

Loving today’s conversation…we need wanjigi often hasira lazima ipande…RMG💪🏾

[@lemwelking2982]

THOSE PEOPLE MAKING NOISE KWA BACKGROUND, THEY'RE CUMBERSOME....

[@vicandew8014]

like floydmayweather is bred from a boxer, so is jimmy from the father. Its refreshing to have somebody who understands both politics and economics.

[@rommyworld]

I've subscribed out of this great conversation by the great Jimi Wanjigi. Big up yourself fam ✊🏿🇰🇪💪🏿🌍

[@birech003]

Ep 222, what a man!

[@judymugweru6762]

Loved This! Literal Gold.

[@kajairokajairo2271]

So this is how cool Wanjigi's Bunker looks

[@Kimm39]

Nimekurada bro😂

[@kelvinmuthomi6694]

"The economic revolution will be just as painful as the political revolution we went through" From that history class, its clear, the same crop of leaders have been holding up captive. Kenya has the potential to be the greatest economy in Africa, but our leaders will not fight the corruption that ails us, because doing that would implicate them. Politicians threaten us against defaulting on these loans, citing potential sanctions/instability. But in reality, defaulting would prompt critical questions about where the money went, potentially exposing systemic corruption in government. This deliberate deflection ensures that politicians evade accountability, while ordinary Kenyans bear the burden of debt repayment for funds they never benefited from. We are facing a monumental battle, and it’s one we cannot afford to lose.

[@denim_and_cateye]

2 hours very well spent! Looking forward to part 2, 3, 4, 5, etc 😀

[@Irabua]

Luck is an extension of ability

[@denismigayi8513]

[@clintonodhiambo2360]

"Those are people we saw as little criminals"...😂😂😅.. Woiye Kasongo

[@barbz9]

My take home was we as Kenyans need: 1. To forgive each other 2. To know our history
