The Problem With Kenya's Economy Is Stealing- Dr. Jim McFie

[@scottjohno.7335]

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

[@alonsohernandez-nb5xq]

You're absolutely right, to be a successful in life required not only hard work but awareness and sometime opportunity at the moment, investment remains the best way to start.

[@paulmary-zv9se]

​@@alonsohernandez-nb5xqI agree with you. Investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity. And not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed return.

[@donalderic-zx5jn]

yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legit investment or business without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to great loss too.

[@shawjose-uc9xn]

​@@donalderic-zx5jnExactly and many of us don't know where to invest our money so we invest it on wrong place and to the wrong people

[@trumpkane-fe9ig]

​@@shawjose-uc9xnObviously talking about been successful, I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Debra Barton

[@kiplimosolomon6783]

Dr. McFie is spot on. I am so privileged to have been taught by him at Strathmore University School of Accountancy.

Eric Latif, bring this man back again and again. He has an international insight, but from a very Kenyan perspective. This man is a gem for this country! Saying it as it is, with no political undertone, whatsoever!

[@gw7768]

There is no way we can deny, having listened to Dr. McFie, Jimmy Wanjigi and Okiya Omtata that we have a problem and it's not limited to current government. If we still don't understand the gravity of our situation, we need doctors urgently.

[@kw_akafarmer4058]

Some of us were taken in by the president's campaign rallying call, HATUPANGWINGWI, and mistook it to mean that he is made of a better mettle and wasn't going to succumb to puppeteering from any quarters, not even the WEF, to which his predecessor (together with his handshake brother) danced themselves silly. What we're seeing now, to our utter disbelief, is the president dancing to the tune of this club of criminal eugenist not only in this country but on the international scene. They're literally taking Kenya (and many other countries) down the same path they took Sri Lanka.

[@harrisonmurbi8145]

@@kw_akafarmer4058 WEF is NOT and has NEVER been our problem. The biggest problem is that of stealing. Pure and simple. Can you imagine all the foreign companies wanting to do business in Kenya being forced to go elsewhere due to bribery demands? The prof here mentioned Qatar Airways, Unilever etc. The guy who took you in was known to be a thief even before the previous regime (of which he was part and parcel of). But you guys ignored that and still elected him.

[@MargaretkmHumanity]

So an interesting conversation about the corruption and democracy. This topic needs more time for him to explain. More coz this is where most of our problems are generating from.

@@harrisonmurbi8145 listen to the club's (The WEF) chairman Klaus Schwab and it's default spokesperson, Yuval Noah Harari to appreciate how dark and sinister the club's agenda for the world is. It matters little the grandiosity of the investment members of this club set up in this country when their real plan is to enslave us. They've told us in no uncertain terms that 'We will own nothing and be happy'. And you may not know it, but it is this club and it's outcrops, the mega mining, agricultural, industrial, financial, media etc., etc., corporations and non-profits or NGOs owned and run by it's members, that are raining havoc on the world economy today. The fronts on which they're waging war on us are too many to list here but food, energy, medicine, education and cultural (read LGBTQr ) are a few. Do your own research, see independent media.

When I listen to this guy breaking down our economic problems in bits, I am both happy and sad. Happy because there are many educated Kenyans with the same level of knowledge & sad because they will never get the jobs to apply their knowledge & improve our economy. The electorate lacks understanding of who the right leaders are and therefore we end up with policymakers who do not know exactly what to do!

[@geoffreyojwang1044]

An extremely intelligent and focused gentleman. Dr Mcfie taught me group accounts in the 90s at Strathmore College then. We'd always joke that if one couldn't understand group accounts taught by him then you're unteachable.😂😂

[@thesoundofsilence1763]

Jim Boyd Mcfie !! My accounts lecturer at Strathmore. Principal School of Accounts. Still, the same very foresighted observer that he always was. You should also ask him about Wanjigi's odious debt theory, the price of Unga, the Effect of Maandamano, practicality of housing levy, Effect of the Finance bill. He would give valuable insight into those as his area of specialization. And without those political biases.

Profound wisdom. Unfortunately money ruined the creator side in us. Only the creature side of our being is alive and ticking. Hence our preoccupation with only achieving creature comforts, at the expense of creatively solving thorny issues of the land.

This is so true. Looting looting looting in the name of "doing business with the government".

Wanjigi is exposing the problem because he was cut off. That guy is a joker, wachana naye huyo. Omtata and Mcfie are sincere

[@agromercantile1705]

Wanjigi is a joke. What has he ever built that is worthy of mention? He's just a high level broker of big-ticket tenders. He then used part of his loot to fund politicians. He only started talking when he was cut out. The politician that he mentions demanding 20% is exactly what Wanjigi did to get wealthy.

However, he's right about democracy in our setting. Representative democracy in Africa has to ask this question first, how does the average person want to be led.
