The recent demonstrations in Nairobi over the China Square saga are akin to a child who has refused to grow up and still depends on the mother’s milk. We swallowed the Chinese bait hook, line, and sinker and flooded our market, and to an extent, became dependent on their goods.

The Chinese Embassy will just deny visas to the said business community, forcing them to beg for a return of the ‘oxygen’ (read imports). Our government went to bed with Beijing without protection; now Kenya is pregnant with Chinese debt, and termination is not an option.
Africans are dependent on imports. We need to focus our anger on the ‘cabal’ that (mis)manages our taxes, force them to lower electricity costs, improve infrastructure, provide affordable credit, and subsidize enterprise. We need a conducive environment for our cottage industries to grow into globally competitive industries that produce for export.

Ruto is walking a tight rope. At home, Raila is up his ass and threatening to incite civil disobedience.
The West is also watching him keenly waiting for him to slip his tongue and then they arm twist him and then make the shilling lose it’s value massively.
China is also watching him do circus with it’s citizen and it’s a matter of time before they strike.
I’d hate to be him rn. Kumbe kuwa President sio rahisi.
It will be good because it will eradicate counterfeit goods and of course I assure nothing China will do to Visas because they want to loose the country Kenya where they will be dumping of their counterfeit fake products.Original one last though it is expensive we have to accept anyway.
