I don't know how much economics a common voter knows in Kenya.
But I'll say this...A gov't capping interest rates is not a capitalist gov't.
Now with that out of the way
The question becomes, why are interest rates high? In Kenya, its because the gov't is borrowing even to pay for t shirts.
If you're gov't is borrowing, your interest rates go up...
I don't know how simple that is yet, the voters are just about sijui uhuru, sijui raila stuff.
Listen
The gov't right now is borrowing at unprecendeted levels. So you interest rates are higher than normal.
If Uhuru signs such a silly bill, everyone will be broke within a year. Coz gov't borrows at 10 points, banks has to work on 14 and someone has to paid a salary.
So yes, Uhuru is right not signing the bill
But the interest rates are the fault of Uhuru...
Go figure.
Hardwood by the way that is what conservatism means. Uhuru would never be an MP in the Us simply because he's not a conservative...Every year gov't spending goes up in his administration. Means every year, interest rates go up for small businesses and corporates. 2000 jobs lost in banks in the past few years.
Gov't is not about emotions its about reality. The reality is the current gov't is confused about the economy and social issues.
They don't know why schools are being burnt...They don't understand why borrowing from China means that my taxes go up.
We are living in very dangerous times...
Your interest payment at more than the world aveage of 5 is a shylock loan. We all know about shylocks.
Anyway....Sorry, I don't supprt this gov't simpy because their economics doesn't make sense to me..You can't talk about capping interest rates yet we we have that thing called helb.
Help is legally approved to charge shylock rates..Ati you don't pay for a month you pay 5k..
Let's talk about mshwari, I can't even calculate the illegal interest rates this mshwari thing is about
Njunges sports pesa. They take money, make profits kill charities then sponsor hull city.
All legal...
Ati capping interst rates. That's not the issue. The issue is gov't borrowing willy nilly. And then gov't accepting shylocking as a business model.
Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?
