Bollore are being economical with the truth. In March 2018 Bollore partnered with SGR to fill a whole train with 108 TEUs.

Plus most taxes are going into a black hole.Like the 1.5% deduction for the housing scheme.You have better chances of buying a house by staking 1.5% of your salary on Sportpesa than contributing to that housing scheme.

But the reason they have give is true, the retrenchment/redundancy has been caused by SGR. How is that being economical with the truth.

Since then it has been a downward spiral. From electioneering period, skyrocketing debt, interest rate cap, and now low liquidity in the economy and taxes everywhere. Treasury mandarins keep chest-thumping that we're on the right course. It's sad really.

Let them eat GDP! Unless the average voter fervently demands for better governance, calls for political accountability as well as efficient management of public resources to liberate the country from the current shackles and manacles of its power-thirsty and corrupt political elites, Kenya will remain a failed project that forever eats its own children.

@Obiero thanks for this. Fellows stop whining about the economy & join the money minters. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Actually it's proof that corruption is happening on a massive scale by a clique of connected individuals. I personally have increased my family wealth over the stated period but I am aware of many people who have lost jobs, lost livelihoods, corporate companies that went under or are barely surviving..

I personally have increased my family wealth over the stated period but I am aware of many people who have lost jobs, lost livelihoods, corporate companies that went under or are barely surviving.. Agreed @Obiero... The barometer is corporate earnings at the NSE... Given by recent interim earnings reports... NSE companies are barely surviving... So which sector are these super richs being minted from? Real Estate? Banking? Aviation? The corruption sector of course... It's very lucrative... Take for example Kenya Power can report a loss yet some jamas in that financial year became super rich by selling faulty transformers lol .. A huge chunk of the Kenyan budget flows into individual pockets each year thus minting new millionaires... I say NSE companies because.. 1. Deep pockets 2. Talent 3. Corporate history 4. Super brands 5. Monopolies
