Thomas Fuller is often credited with popularizing the saying, "It is always darkest just before the Day dawneth." a message we hold dear because it’s about not giving up hope.
The KE economy has been “growing”, each quarter we are told of above 5% growth margins. Yet my understanding is that the stock market as one of the key performance indicators of the economy has continued to tank year after year since the NSE20 hit a high of 5,500 in March 2015.
The current government has invested heavily on mega infrastructure but the pay-off doesn’t look like it will be anytime soon, as a matter of fact companies are closing, and job losses are in their thousands. To the best of my knowledge the other KPI’s of the economy are not performing as well as the GDP and the CBK advisories. The Manufacturing and services sector are bleeding, consumer price index is not favourable.

Since stock market performance depends on economic performance, the critical question is when will the sun rise on the economy? Will it be 2020, 2022, or even later?

Unless Chupilee, NSE20 has over halved from 5,500 points during the initial euphoria to under 2,500 currently.

Time is not on Uhuru's side next 34 months will be interesting to watch. He is quickly running out of runway either take off or crash out Moi style. Interesting that NSE was at 2428 around sept 1999.

Oligarchs doing the shafting business well, I would like to see a listing of the richest dudes in Kenya so far.i must feature at top 1000 after my Gavana only. Yote ayatawai wezekana hii Kenya as long as any of you who can read this text and understand is still alive! Accept and find a landing place for yourself otherwise, keep quite and take it easy. The genius who wrote the current script went comatose before prescribing an antidote for it.
