The CBK has issued another 30 year bond. Does this make economic sense reducing liquidity during times of hardship as opposed to steadily increasing money supply and encouraging government expenditure or they are worried about too much money chasing few goods in the economy right now.

Imagine a litre of kerosene in Lodwar and Mandera at 95/= and petrol at 113. How will people in these marginalized areas survive with these costs given the fact that they are already suffering from hunger.

note that power prices will however go up even if rains have began. I also hope and expect the MPR to remain at 5.75% but dont be surprised if it doesnt

I expect the MPC meeting to be a none event except for banks having a forex field day! If they didn't act in October 2010, it's pointless now... At least they should revise down GDP growth estimates & stop lying all is well...

Makes hell of a lot sence.
until the leaks in the pipes (bad governance and hungry corrupt kenyans), i woud advise suppresing money supply. if we have to spend, lets spend it on sure capital projects, like the road and agriculture not billions in administration changes (counties) and cdf projects where mtu wa mkono analipwa 1200 ksh per day!! to build a 3 roomed structure at 2m ksh wtf!!

worst thing G.k can do is approve the 10-20% pay rise. jus like the debt crisis in europe and the morgage burst of '08, lets learn a lesson. no use chasing after economic growth (short-term growth) at the expense of the wider future. Hard times bring inovation, just ask singapore and spain
