The guy is academically clever, but very unwise and rash...bad bad decisions throughout his tenure so far...
He is a terrible politician too. Bringing the evil duo - IMF and World Bank - to bat for him, re: interest rate cap, was just baaaad!
Kwani he did not live in Kenya during the dark days of Structural adjustment?
We took ourselves to IMF and World bank by mismanaging our finances/coffers.
Now we are requesting for help from them and it comes with conditions Not quite.
We are going back because the government does not want to take the difficult calls, namely, fiscal discipline and the hard choices that go with it. Ultimately this is the only real solution to the interest rates issue and I suspect the market and other forces will eventually force Uhuruto's hand. But this is a can that Uhuru would rather kick further down the road and hence the Caps repeal promise. I suspect Ruto will inherit this skunk, among many others.
Meanwhile the, poor innocent Banks (safi kama pamba) are going to take a PR hit once the debate in parliament and the public arena gets going.
