Am a simple man ... I see Jimmy Wanjigi or Okiya Omtata, I click video.

[@andrewmunene4641]

We should give the two gentlemen a chance

[@elijahogaya8837]

That "Debt is a moving target" line got me. Those of us who used to ignore Jimmy are begining to take him seriously.

[@davidkahura5365]

The moving target is very subjective. A percentage of GDP whose calculation nobody can verify.

Can't believe I get this excited when seeing Jimmy on the show. I now believe it's time we get a way forward after having all this questions and answers

[@dnarna8994]

Jimi has done a great service of informing the public. It's amazing that we are hearing the most important issue about the country from a person outside the government!! 🙃🙃🙃

[@kennedymuli5774]

The next time Jimmy vies for presidency I won't care how many people want to vote for him, i will vote for him.

[@BS-kl9yf]

I agree. I was with Dr. Aukot he has been silent I'm shifting to Jimmy.

[@laurentvielizalive.]

I can listen to Jimmy wanjingi speak for a whole day. He is knowledgeable when it comes to matters of economics and governance.

[@ftin924]

I happen to be an accountant where I work. Every time we present our annual financial plan/budget we usually must include estimates of revenue which shall form basis of expenditure. It's the normal thing. Whatever Jimmy Wanjigi says is absolutely correct. I've also been wondering how in the recent past all budget policy statements read by the CS TREASURY contains 100% expenditure estimates. The finance bill only gives a plan for raising tax. What informs deficits and public debt is kept in the darkness. This is a sinister motive

[@giddymufasa3630]

Well said ..is like telling me I'm going to buy a car and don't tell me the price range yet I'm the one paying ..that is when you buy a vitz and i pay for a prado because we did not discuss how much money that car is worth and how much money i currently have ..exactly a fraud

[@truthandrighteousness]

It's not so much about the constitution but rather what's is logical. If you say you are intending to spend this much, then logic dictates that you state how you intend to raise that much!!

[@truthandrighteousness]

I like the fact that we becoming critical in our thinking and we no longer going to be fooled by anybody irregardless of how smart they think they are. Questioning is the first point in the critical thinking path.. we all have brains which are supposed to use!!

[@kizitoomukaga2011]

This is a serious accounting class. Jimmy is precise in his explanation. The explanation makes a lot of sense. Spice FM should invite the auditor general to give their side of the story.

[@achiengmasiga4445]

Parliament has serious things they need to discuss but they spend time discussing how MPs are dressed, screaming at one another and generally wasting precious time.

[@sylvestreyonga3197]

Jimmy Wanjigi is such a brilliant mind. We need leaders who constantly challenge our thought process. Good for establishing high levels of accountability and transparency in matters governance.

[@ngugidaniel1030]

This is the level of thinking that i like to hear. Simple yet critical. If we all kept thinking like this, then picking our leaders would be quite straight forward.

[@wakawaka5131]

I always wondered why Ruto reinstalled the same finance people that Uhuru had. The CBK chair to Treasury and the treasury guy to CBK... Now it makes sense. To keep the money games going. It also makes sense why Uhuru didn't want Ruto in the seat but wanted baba instead. Ruto was going to cut him and his clique out of their money stream while baba was primed to literally hand him a third term as prime minister to keep harvesting . Wajamaa whether you are azimio or KK, tumechezwa kama karata kwa corner fulani.

[@triplebeans4159]

uhuru wants his banks to dominate the economy while Ruto wants to expand and explore the capital markets.

[@cedrickiplimo2991]

I like your argument. It sounds farcical, but I catch your drift. It's about control over the money minting machine.

[@ismailkassim1192]

Jimi Wanjigi has made Kenya a better country. Kudos to him.

[@mushbabz]

Where can we get such documentation to comprehend our country's debt situation?

[@arishi2021]

Why can't you Jimmy table acase in court to annul all irregularities that have been carried out in Kenya for the past 10yrs and declare the debt nil and void!!take the case to supreme court if possible and let's have a landmark ruling

[@jacobomondi4962]

Follow keenly on a case by okia omtata

[@mose26]

Initially I was with Eric Latif trying to dismiss Jimi's point as a technicality, but towards the end of his presentation I finally understood his point, the domestic debt borrowing has not been anchored in the expenditure estimates either as a appropriations development or appropriations recurrent. If this is true, then this is a Pandora's box. His other point of the budget having to be presented with both the expenditure estimates and revenue estimates I still feel its a technicality, because we all know the revenue estimates for this financial year.

[@extusmutanda5389]

There's it being APPROVED through parliament, and there's us knowing, which he's made it clear that it will always be put in public domain there after.

[@johnodande6295]

Yes, we know. But has the law been followed in making us know? For example, let's say the gov't publishes list of new judges in Kenya Gazette. But, did it follow the law in coming up with those names? We need to ask ourselves why the right process wasn't followed. Maybe that's why people fight this hard for certain elective posts.

[@jacobomondi4962]

What do you know, Can you be able to tell what will be borrowed both internally and externally? Amount of grants from other countries? Do you know all sources of government revenue and what they generate as well as how they have revenue generation has been growing for the past five years? May be you can share with me because I don't know when it was discussed and approved by the legislature

[@mose26]

@@johnodande6295 that's why I said that this particular point is a technicality, it's not that it's not true, I hope you got me. What I am interested in hearing more about is the domestic debt not being anchored in the budget, that will be crazy.

🔵📕😈🍀😊🔵☔ Dear friends and leaders please just listen very carefully how Wanjigi is is highlighted in the matter of financial ACT. Truely he is a genuise in terms of the term accountability and responsibility for the KENYA money from the public coffers. Now from exhaustive explanation of the budget it shows that the people who are supposed to be accountable for the secret to the mess 👆 are not really transparent to the Public as parse. 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵,so there is a hidge some where.

They are working but they forgot to align their procedures with the new constitution. As Jimi said before, watu hawasomi katiba closely. But that's for the Finance Committee to ensure that procedures are up to date. Anyway............... at least bogi inasonga sasa.........

[@evansvosena646]

Jimmy we normally here that Ministries, Departments, constitutional office's, independent office's etc have returned unutalized Money back to Treasury, now my question is; 1. When Budget is read is this amount deducted from the estimated budget of the following financial year and if so; 2. Why's it that we just normally here is that our estimated budget for the next financial year is 3.6 trillion but we haven't heard that the money returned is like let's assume 1.2 trillion has been subtracted from the principal budget henceforth the budget for the next financial year is 2.4 trillion.

I have for some time deliberately been following Jimmy Wanjigi's arguments whenever he talks about the budget and finance bill. Truth be told, he convinces me that he knows and understands countries' financial processes. Despite his busy schedule, I also respect the research he has taken the time to undertake. Come 2027, this is the best option for the presidency. Unfortunately, these tribal kingpins will use their tribal muscle to deny him the presidency.

[@skatulle]

Uhuru Kenyatta et al.. made life so miserable for Jimmy. I will never forget how the police stormed and raided his house and treated him and his wife like terrorists. RAO spent nights there just to protect him from Uhuru. Now Jimmy will make sure he destroys Uhuru's legacy by unearthing all the secret ways Uhuru used to steal money from the common mwananchi. By the time he is done, Uhuru VS the people of Kenya will be in court, because the people of Kenya have woken up and they will not pay for debts they are unaware of just so that someone can sit comfortably enjoying their ill-acquired wealth while the common mwananchi is suffering. Life started becoming difficult during Uhuru's regime. He will go down as one of the worst presidents Kenya has ever had. IMF and world bank will also wake up to the fact that they must do their due diligence before approving loans. Good on you Kenya. Thank you for Jimmy for waking us up.

[@lindandungu7553]

I have followed Jimmy since the 1st interview... its clear we are being robbed by a few people who seem to be above the law.... after this amazing revelation what is the action we need to take? It would be sad for this to end on these interviews.

[@nyamburandungu1996]

First, we need this information/education to be accessible to all Kenyans; these interviews should have the option of subtitles or voice over translations in Kiswahili & all the other Kenyan languages. Second, the interviews (with the translations) should also be available as video files that can be passed around and watched over & over without data/bundles/wifi. Then this becomes National Information and there's the possibility of the citizens uniting against the leadership to refuse these senseless policies/laws/taxes that they are imposing.
