Why High Fuel Prices in Kenya is Good

…ng a business, several people wouldn’t have stable income.
Besides like I said, sacrifice is the only thing that would build manufacturing in Kenya and government has nothing to do with that but only raise prices of imported goods to force us to produce internally, but that can’t happen because when we take them Chinese grants, we also promise to import their shit. So go lie in a ditch if you wanna.

I don’t venture into insults, but then, that’s you. So, you are advocating for higher gas prices to discourage the so called brokies from buying cars , which inturn will reduce the number of vehicles in our roads, doesn’t that make you an ‘anti-car’ guy ?
Anyways, if this is the mindset that you’re running your business with , and you are successful as you claim, there must be something very wrong with the business environment in .ke.

Fuel plays a very vital part in the cost of production, how is raising it going to spur a manufacturing environment mostly considering lower scale manufactures?
And even if locally produced items get to the market will netizens afford them? what are we doing about raising minimum wage in the country.
If the argument if purely on reducing luxury amongst your age mates to open up their minds/abilities, then why not:

• Ban importation of mitumba cars, it might just incentivize more dealers to open up shop.
• Ban cheap Chinese plastics into the country.
• Heavily tax liquor and all its related shenanigan’s

Two things a government will always avoid is: one defaulting on local debt, and defaulting on government salaries. You see if gava defaults on local debt, their debt rating falls. Which means the only lender will be IMF with its conditions. Locals will never lend the government too.

…n saves money just to buy cars, 100x50 lots of land, cheap coastal trips, buy wigs, have side-chicks, etc. Watu lazima wakule fimbo wajue kutafta mali ya maana. Invest that ka-million in bonds, shares, MMF, SMEs, Starts-ups, construction firms, farming, etc.
Increase the duty on alcohol to weed-out peasants. If they switch to illicit brews that’s fine, they were never crucial to the economy anyways.

Nangojea land bubble iburst nishikilie eka mia moja na thao mbili. The first order of business after buying my 100 acres for 2k will be to geo-locate the center of the land using trigonometry. I will them proceed to stab a hole in the ground and reach threshold with my land. She will be a fruitful and bountiful lady

how is it good? The prices are high because a few people mismanaged the funds that was given to us by foreign creditors.

…as one of the best human capital in Africa and our major problem in manufacturing has been at the policy level by the government… Right now a unit of electricity power is at Ksh +30, diesel at Ksh 210 that capled with cheap Chinese exports and weak shilling and anything manufacturing is dead on arrival… edit; kumbe you are a kagege/ government apologist disguised as an economic analysist Bure kabisa

Land bubble will not burst soon in Kenya. We highly value land more than even life itself.
