Steve Mbogo knows what he is talking about and agree with him 100 percent

[@johnodep3008]

The interviewers were the biggest obstacle to what could have been a truly eye-opening conversation.

[@johnodep3008]

They flaunt their ignorance with arrogance.

[@FahadAbubakari]

One Is old coward man, the other one is a lady who is so obsessed na uzungu mwingi, the other man is such a timid guy wht do u expect from such people to grab smart ideas.

[@mise8215]

It's good to question stuff but also allow one to give his views.

[@Karinguri]

I came to give the same sentiments. Those 3 are a good example of what's ailing Kenya n Africa at large. Steve is trying to open their eyes to see beyond their noses but for some reason they think he's a conspiracy theorist and that's all they wanted to prove, not learn anything at all.

[@nimogitau4194]

Well done, Steve Mbogo for keeping our cool.... difficult subject matter

[@RichardOkuto]

The presenters are experiencing cognitive dissonance, a mental situation in which a person becomes extremely uncomfortable and repulsive towards new ideas and information that challenge their life-long known truths. People experiencing this can even get physicaly aggressive and Steve should have tagged his security details along before challenging these people's truths. If you ever elect me as President, I will spare religion but will reign hard on education, it's producing good looking graduates stuffed with western gabbage inside, like those sofas you buy along Jogoo Road. A graduate incapable of critical thinking but compliant with all western stands. On a second thought, this is censorship, they called Steve here to silence him, thank God it backfired. EDWIN AMUGA for President. Steve is my Running mate.

[@3DHOMESBYSAM]

That exactly what it is 'cognitive dissonance' this is why they love to call them conspiracy theories. All conspiracy theories from the past have become conspiracy facts now.

[@eddiendeto]

Mbogo is well informed

[@paulerick6001]

This was the most important conversation ever floated in Kenya, but everyone fumbled it...the media personalities were ignorant and arrogant, and Mbogo - while having his finger on the issues- was not strongly articulate or even allowed to finish all his thinking clearly. I have hated the Kenyan political culture for almost 5 decades, and it is primarily because of Kenyas incompetent MEDIA and its mediocre politicians. The last time Kenya had a serious media personality in the Fourth Estate, was Hillary Ng'weno. This is why Kenya is so confused and can't even begin to understand the issues Mbogo is trying to articulate.

Kwanza Ndu, she is blinded by anything Western. She almost gets a hernia when any fault is pointed at the West. Her happiest moments are when she can show off her French, forgetting that she has a whole world of rich Nigerian culture than she can teach us. Rich cultures like that of Chinua Achebe.

Nothing new , the guy wants the government to lift the sanctions for the money launderers to thrive. If he does clean business why is it hard to provide source of funds .

[@franciskaruga4478]

They're very defensive today, Mbogo touched the nerve. Conveniently, they bring another person who is clearly very arrogant

[@paulerick6001]

The problem in Kenya, is that it is impossible to have a conversation on policy, ideology, strategy, etc. without it fundamentally becoming about which side of the political divide do I perceive you to support! What has happened in Kenya is this: The Gikuyu (and by delegation the Kalenjin) were the beneficiaries of alignment with the "global West" - the imperial powers - and used their access to further dominate and marginalize other communities locally. Some of these other communities resisted and even rebelled, to severe consequences (especially regarding economic survival) so they sought their own alliances with the outside world (foreign sources). Now that some of these outside/marginalized communities have established some support systems ( with factions in the West, with the Arab and Muslim world, etc) the same battle that was going on between the foreign powers, has been brought into the Kenyan local political space. So Kenya, is in no way "sovereign" but a playground of competing global interests. And the Kenyan mouths that speak are merely advancing the interests and narratives of their sponsors (or those they hope to align with).

[@kijana2030]

Very condescending, ganging up on Mbogo and trying to control his answers.

[@GoranEternalEssence]

Yes, their bosses gave them orders to become agitators on guests who attack the Government policies

[@kimaningethe9523]

I think the interviewers failed this time, they did not allow Steve Mbogo to explain what he thought and believed just because he had a contrary opinion to theirs, infact at some point they kept on bombarding him with issues back to back. Now Steve has said that this loans that were taken by Uhuru government were illegal, the same thing that James Wanjigi said, explained and demonstrated - now the panel is disagreeing. I think the issue with loans is not a limit thing, the illegality comes with expenditure and wether these funds actually hit the consolidated fund. Steve is also right; there seems to be global agenda to demotivate small scale farmers in favour of big corporations; hence the farmers demos in France, Germany, Switzerland etc. It is sinister the control that few corporations like Bayer - Monsato, Dupont, Limagrain and Syngenta control seeds, animal feed, pesticides and even fertilizers. There's definiely more to this....

[@yayo_mfalme]

I am honestly disappointed with the panel today... That was uncalled for.. please apologise to Mr Steve mbogi and don't invite him to the show if all you wanna do is embarrass him

[@chrisogonas]

Steve Mbogo is mostly loaded and he appears to understand the underpinning currents that sway Kenyan policies - the imperialists powers whose agenda override Kenyan agenda. The more I listen to the hosts, despite their good questions, the more I realize how naive they are to the global interests and how these consequentially affect Kenyan interests to the ground. Mbogo was making important points. He may not have been able to effectively articulate them, but to anyone who understands the bilateral interests, you definitely pick out his theory.

[@kijana2030]

Most like he was not allowed to effectively articulate them.

[@BryanMabbri]

In my opinion, Mr. Mbogo has a very strong message. In his bold statements, he reveals things that have been hidden from the common citizen for years. Someday, one starts to wonder who these 'systems' are that we keep mentioning... what they are and how they work

[@rukwirwaandre112]

My sentiments exactly

[@esthernjoroge9221]

The first time I listened to Mbogo on this topic was on Iko Nini. He actually said the same same things. The issue with coming to the Hot Seat, one must realise that the session is being ran by journalists. One of the principles of journalism is verifiable evidence to back up any claims. For me it is very clear. Whilst the claims Mbogo is making may be true or partially true, the lack of verifiable evidence to back his argument has led to alot of his arguments being rejected.

[@kijana2030]

Where was the proof from the so called journalists that what Mbogo said is not true? Jimmy Wanjigi is the one who told them that borrowing is for development only but CT was categorical that it was all legally passed by parliament which is not true. Eurobond was not passed by parliament and the PFMA does not allow for Kenya to transact from offshore accounts but through the consolidated account. Ndu is an ineffective host and without Latiff, this show would deteriorate into a shouting match real quick. They owe Mbogo an apology.

[@wanjohimuriuki4726]

​@@kijana2030 when presenting a theory it is your work to provide irrefutable proof to your claims not the other way round. Example when working on a thesis at the end of it you *defend* it

[@kijana2030]

@wanjohimuriuki4726 This was not a thesis, and it's not a theory. These things happened. He even gave dates in 1946. Even CT said it began before then. The issue was that Nduh wanted to discuss the hustler narrative in the Kenyan context. When Mbogo went outside her script, she lost it and didn't give him space to connect it all together. Bottom line, the show was a shouting match and painful to watch.

Actually Mbogo has strong points he just didn't come out strong. Just do some bit of homework and you will actually agree with him. Through our debt our economy is actually externally controlled. Our gvt is also externally controlled as well. The sending of police to Haiti, is a good example. The taxing of Fuel through VAT is as a result of IMF. Mbogos points have been summarilly dismissed by gross blanket generalizations. The honours are on Mbogo to polishup his urguments, come with a bag of facts and not accept or rather fight these easy generalisations. The global control of sovereign nations have its fingerprints everywhere.

[@wa10s]

On this one, Spice team you let us down. It reminds me of the atmosphere in 2020/2021 when certain prominent global media outlets seemed determined to monopolize the narrative around what constituted a conspiracy theory rather than allowing the individual to express their perspective freely and then examining it objectively without prejudice. In today's interview, there was a tendency to dismiss or shut down viewpoints that deviated from a "prescribed narrative". As events continue to unfold and more information comes to light, we may look back at this exchange and question why there was an absence of probing, nuanced inquiry. You appeared content to take a pedestrian approach, neglecting the opportunity for a deeper exploration of the claims being put forth. The handling of this interview in my opinion, could be viewed as symptomatic of a broader societal failure to engage with controversial or unorthodox ideas in an open and impartial manner.
