Protests have erupted across Paraguay after Ueno Bank was shut down in the middle of the night over a solvency crisis, leaving customers unable to access their money. An estimated 60% of the adult population banks with Ueno.

They can track a boda rider in Eldoret, but they can't track Abshir Abdi.
They can build a digital system for a man who earns Sh800 a day, but they can't build a system to track Sh100B lost in SHA.
They can identify every motorcycle, every stage, every drop-off zone - but they can't identify who abducts people in broad daylight.
This is not about curbing crime. This is about controlling the poor.
Because boda riders don't have lawyers. Boda riders don't have tenders. Boda riders can't hide money in Dubai.
Track the thieves in suits first. Then come for the riders.

The World Bank says electricity costs for businesses in Kenya are almost 50% higher than in Uganda and more than 124% higher than in Viet Nam, two of its peer countries.
The report says opaque power purchase agreements (PPAs) and weak procurement practices have contributed to high electricity costs.

This is the cruelty of living in Kenya. You can't work when you have to spend days and money traveling to sort out other people's mistakes. And then further extraction is demanded for them to undo their own mistake.
For me, I would like to hear a political candidate talk about this cruelty of Kenyan institutions, the amount of time, money and humiliation we spend on inefficiency. Our economy can't grow when this is how adults have to spend their resources. #MaishaKazini

Kenya could boost gross domestic product by more than a fifth within a decade and significantly reduce debt as a percentage of GDP if it tackles corruption, the World Bank said. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

10 people are eating. 60 million are paying. And the debt keeps growing!
At this rate, even the leftovers will be borrowed!

WB doing what @NAssemblyKE and @Senate_KE are tasked to do but unfortunately, @WilliamsRuto and many legislators violated the constitution by exchanging money to mute oversight. As his paid dogs on a leash, Parliament voted to install two stooges: @HonWetangula and @HonAmasonKingi that were told to kill the spirit of katiba with their immorality. Fortunately, God has a way of humbling even those that think they are above the program. 25/6/24 was the start of a reset that will mature in 2027, when majority of these unpatriotic crooks will be in sent into full retirement/exile/prison.

The World Bank says Kenya's economy could grow by 22% by 2035 if the government tackles corruption, reduces theft of public funds and ensures public money is spent properly.
This could also create up to 7.7 million jobs and reduce the country's debt burden

The Government of Kenya should not register, count, or recognise "tribes." Instead, the population should be organised legally under individual citizenship and civil law.

This was John Mbadi ten years ago boldly saying that Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto looted Ksh 275B Eurobond.
John Mbadi, who is currently the treasury CS, has gone to the global market to look for $2.25B Eurobond to service the same Eurobond he knows very well Uhuru and Ruto looted.

Fellow Kenyans, our economic problem is corruption and wastage.
Billions of hard-earned tax-payers money stolen in broad-daylight.
Fellow Kenyans, you know me well.
When I say my government will have zero tolerance to corruption. I mean it.

Schools in Kenya, and we are about to waste Ksh. 1 billion.
Bayern will receive €5m for the trip to Nairobi, Kenya to play a friendly against Ajax on January 5th. Vincent Kompany approved the trip, which was then handled by Marketing and sales director Rouven Kasper. 'For that kind of money, you have to do it', it was said at Säbener Straße [@mano_bonke]
