President Uhuru Kenyatta speech to G7

STATEMENT BY HIS EXCELLENCY HON. UHURU KENYATTA, C.G.H., PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE DEFENCE FORCES DURING THE AFRICA OUTREACH MEETING AT THE G7 SUMMIT IN TAORMINA, ITALY 27TH MAY, 2017
May 27, 2017

Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
First, let me thank you,Prime Minister Gentiloni for the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to me and my delegation. I also thank you for according me the opportunity to address this distinguished gathering.

Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Africa is the world’s new frontier for trade and investment. Current indications are that Africa will have business opportunities worth $5.6 trillion by 2025.
Across Africa,there is a rising tide bringing with it new national and transnational infrastructure; a better-educated labour force; a youthful, dynamic population; a diffusion of technology; and, most important, the true democratization of the continent.
A rising tide lifts every boat. We now see the emergence of business clusters that stimulate innovation,the creation of new businesses, and real growth.
That’s why our returns on investment are some of the highest in the world,and that’s why members of the G7 will find, as others have found, that African markets are well worth their interest.
Indeed, right across the continent, opportunities beckon. To seize them, we will have to work together. The rewards are beyond calculation. A freer, more prosperous Africa is a more secure Africa. A freer, more prosperous Africa is a vital partner in solving some of the world’s most pressing problems: poverty, immigration, climate change, terrorism. This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the time to put Africa’s aspirations at the heart of your plans.
Now, the continent’s transformation is contingent on innovation. That’s why we have strengthened connectivity through the Smart Africa initiative,putting ICT at the center of our development agenda. That’s why the continent is developing an ICT policy and infrastructure to support one seamless digital market, to serve a billion people.
I need not tell you, Ladies and Gentlemen, that Kenya is a celebrated pioneer in ICT innovation in Africa. We have seen for ourselves the transformative power of innovation,as the Internet and mobile telephony have diffused power to networks and individuals.
Our people have proven enthusiastic innovators,enriching our democracy and development. In turn, the world has learned to appreciate to the energy and innovation of our young people, the spear-point of our development strategy.
That energy and innovation, combined with a strong ICT backbone, with infrastructure,and with an open regulatory and policy environment, has unleashed creative solutions, transforming lives.
The list is long and exciting; I’ll cite just three examples. M-Farmis a mobile platform for farmers: with the touch of a button, they can find prevailing prices for their produce.
Ushahidi(Swahili for testimony) is a ground-breaking interactive mapping tool, now used across the world to crowd-source information in elections and emergencies.
And then, of course, there is M-pesa,the mobile money platform that has brought financial access to millions who were left out of the traditional banking sector: these days, nine in every ten Kenyans access financial services through it.
These innovations, and others, have made Kenya more dynamic and resilient; they have made Kenya more investor-friendly; and they have made Kenya the hub of East and Central Africa.
I said that the Internet and the mobile phone had diffused power from states to networks and citizens. This is all to the good.
We are a democracy in a tough neighbourhood: our success will enlarge liberty;it will push back extremists bent on destroying democracy; and it will give many millions of our people an even larger stake in a stable global order.
Naturally, that success will depend largely on our own efforts, but the partnership and solidarity of the G-7 countries remain invaluable.
That, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the power and promise of innovation and cooperation across borders. But we must also consider recent painful events in Manchester, which reminds us that innovation and globalization have a dark side. Far cheaper communication, and the movement of peoples across the world have given terrorists an ideological and operational reach that was unimaginable until very recently.
Terror presents a common threat. It demands a common response. Together, we can meet that threat. Indeed, we in Kenya, in partnership with many of you,have encouraging results to report. We have stopped attacks; we have unravelled terror cells; we have shared intelligence; we have saved lives.
But while intelligence and policing remain critical,we in Kenya believe the first weapon in this war is democracy.
Our people are free: free to choose their government; free to make their views heard; free to start and grow a business. That is the answer to the call of radicalism and violence. Only democracies can correct the abuses of power that breed the grievances on which terror is fed. Only democracies under the rule of law can give each citizen an equal voice in the making of his country’s laws. And only democracy can produce the broad prosperity which forestalls division.
In truth, then, only free peoples in control of their destiny can win an enduring victory over the nihilism of the terrorists.
That is why we are proud to be associated with you,the G7, as a beacon of democracy and the rule of law. We believe this is the time for a new alliance of democracies to stand together against the forces of terror.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen is why I wish to once again thank you, Prime Minister Gentiloni,and all present, for working closely with Kenya and Africa, for the peace, the prosperity, and the freedom that all our peoples deserve.
Thank you

The Inimitable Art Of Street Bargaining

My friend Joffrey recently came to my clothes shop also called kibanda or camera zone because the clothes sold there are all camera meaning they are pricey because they are the
Latest trend.

He admired a tee shirt whose art was a skull and before you know it we were talking its price. I told him it would cost him kshs 1800.
My friend asked whether I had forgotten that we went to school together.

I asked how I could forget such a significant thing. It was impossible to say the least.

Joffrey asked me if that was the case, why was I selling him the teeshirt at such an exhobitant price, he demanded to know why I was killing him with such a price.

I replied that far from it I had in fact given him the best price, almost half the price and that i was not getting even a penny more on the price I had gotten it at from gikomba market.

He laughed and said that I knew he was not a fool and that i should not give him that business talk because he knew it all. He brought it to my notice that not only did we grow up together as buddies and went to the same village school but that we suffered a lot together. He related to me tales of our adventures together as fruits thieves from neighbours farms. I smile as he gesticulated wildly like an insane ape.

As hard a heart I have and as a business man of repute, i yielded to this emotional appeal. You understand that the markup on my products is 300% but I here had to yield. I said OK. I will slash the price and eat The loss, give me 1500

Are you mad? My friend asked.

That is the best I can do. I replied nonchalantly.

My friend handed over the shirt and said. It seems indeed when they get rich they forget everyone.

That touches a nerve, an emotional nerve and once again I yielded and found myself insanely thinking that i was willing to only get a 200% markup. You understand this was insanity because the least i ever went was 250% markup. I said I would let him have it for free and he only have to give me what I had paid to get it which was kshs 100o. Needless to say, but said nonetheseless,  this was a lie.

How Feminists Killed Family Unit And Freed The Man

---

If you don’t settle down with a good girl to form a family, you will live a lonely, sexless life and die alone miserably. Your name will die and you will be buried by the government or city council because you will have no one. This is what young men were told in those early days that were before the storm.

The thought of not having regular sex was especially scary. By age twenty, most men were married to girls as young as fourteen. Then came the feminist and all of a sudden, men were freed. They no longer had to marry to have sex and even if they married, they did not necessarily have to stay in that marriage forever, mainly because the feminist movement ensured that most mothers had a career which made men less guilty when breaking up a #marriage because they knew the children wouldn’t starve as their mother was earning.

These events and other have led to a phenomenon rise in number of prostitutes. Data from various reputable statistics firms such as the bureau of statistics shows that for every one thousand female beyond age 15, an astonishing 300 are having sex for money. These numbers tell a story that will sadden most feminists, that there is a large number of women Willing or forced to have sex without the commitment of a marriage. In Kenya, we have seen the unabated rise of the sponsor phenomenon where a young girl, often a college student offer sexual favours to old men in return for financial reward. One trick the society use to accept a formerly frowned upon vice is give it a new name when it becomes acceptable or is forced down the throat of the society, thus, prostitution becomes sponsorship, witchcraft become miracle healing, euthanasia become assisted dying and so on and so forth.

We now live in an age where majority of women are beguiled that no men want to marry them. They have formed support groups Like kilimani mums where they discuss these strange times events and devise means to trap some hapless men but it is mostly not working and where it works a divorce is not often far off. Men want just to have fun/sex with them with no commitment for why should a man commit and be turned into a mule or a slave in exchange for regular #sex when he can get it out there at a fee but not lifelong fee?

It’s a bright new world for men and the former dark days of man slavery seems like a distance memory of a long gone epoch. Thanks #feminism.

President Uhuru Kenyatta Statement Upon Signing The Interest Capping Bill

STATEMENT BY H.E. UHURU KENYATTA, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE DEFENCE FORCES, ON THE BANKING (AMENDMENT) ACT 2015

On July 28, 2016, the National Assembly passed the Banking (Amendment) Bill, 2015. The Bill intends to regulate interest rates that are applicable to banks’ loans and deposits, capping the interest rates that banks can charge on loans and must pay on deposits.

In line with the Constitution of Kenya the Bill was presented to me, for appropriate action as required by law.

Since receiving this Bill, I have consulted widely and it is clear to me from those consultations that Kenyans are disappointed and frustrated with the lack of sensitivity by the financial sector, particularly banks. These frustrations are centred around the cost of credit and the applicable interest rates on their hard–earned deposits. I share these concerns.

This is the third time that the National Assembly is attempting to reduce interest rates to affordable levels. In the previous two instances, dialogue and promises of change prevailed and banks avoided the introduction of these caps. In those instances, banks failed to live up to their promises and interest rates have continued to increase along with the spreads between the deposit and lending rates.

Despite having one of the most efficient and effective financial markets, Kenya has one of the highest returns-on-equity for banks in the African continent. Banks need to do more to reduce the cost of credit and ensure that the benefits of the vibrant financial sector are also felt by their customers.

Upon weighing carefully all these considerations, on balance, I have assented to the Bill as presented to me. We will implement the new law, noting the difficulties that it would present, which include credit becoming unavailable to some consumers and the possible emergence of unregulated informal and exploitative lending mechanisms.

We will closely monitor these difficulties, particularly as they relate to the most vulnerable segments of our population. Whilst doing so, my Government will also accelerate other reform measures necessary to reduce the cost of credit and thereby create the opportunities that will move our economy to greater prosperity.

We recognize that banks have done much in the last decade in terms of innovation and promoting financial inclusion and look to their doing more in that direction.

We also reiterate our commitment to free market policies in driving sustainable economic growth, to which we owe much of our success.

President Uhuru Assent To Interest Rates Capping Bill

President Uhuru Kenyatta has assented to the bill that will control how much interest rate bank can charge on loans and the least they can give on deposit. This has made Kenyans very happy and the bankers are no doubt up in arms. The president said the banks needed to be controlled

 

CORD To Call For Vicious Demonstrations Unless Jubilee ….

Opposition chief has given the jubilee ruling coalition one week to return Adabu Namwaba to its nest or it will call for vicious mass protest whose effects will be felt as far as the president’s beloved home province.

Speaking to the media from the CORD headquarters, the opposition chief termed the poaching of the youthful and promising politician “shameful and callous” and urged the ruling coalition to practice “clean politics”.

the opposition chief

Adabu Namwaba is the immediate former secretary general of ODM which is an euphimism for CORD. His name means good manners and strong of spirit and this beautiful aspect of the youthful vibrant politician is often made manifest as he eloquently give speeches across the country whose inspiring message moves all who are lucky to hear it. Young university ladies have been known to throw their pink panties at him in delirious bliss during political rallies as if he was a rock star. He has however not allowed the fame to get to his head as he remains humble and approachable so the story goes

The opposition chief termed the action by the jubilee supremos as painful since everyone knew that Adabu Namwaba was the hope of the party. “We made this boy, eh, straight from school and when he is now a shinning light and hope of the party, jubilee has taken him away from us. This can not stand. Adabu is ours and no one can take him away no matter how well finacially oiled” said the oppositon chief in reference to the mythical substantial financial muscles of the ruling coalition

The poached politician could not be reached for comments as his phone went answered. It is understood however that Hon. Adabu will issue a strong statement in the coming day trashing the reports that he has been poached. He is his own man, so the story go.

Evolution Is Slow, Very Slow

Angelina Jolie’s six Children

These people who are posting photos of their future babies next to their profiles. You are making my day, such adorable cuties unless they are Chinese or European and you are a negro in which case I wonder: Are your mental faculty not faulty? Not that it is bad to dream that one day you will be a European if that’s your inclinations but perfect as evolution is, it takes many years for noticeable changes, such as skin colour, texture and general shape to occur. We are talking millions of years here eh?

Plus, chances of you getting skin cancer are double if you are not black and with all this global warming and ozone layer vanishing and shit you might want to hold on to your black skin for a little longer. It might save your ass.

Hey I am not hating if you so forging and want your child to look like the racist twerks who kidnapped your ancestor and made them slaves and raped their mothers and sisters as they watched, all I am saying is that technically and biologically your can’t turn into a Chinese over night. Even the immortal gods and jesuses of this universe can not do that for you.

Anyway, it might even turn out you are as sterile as a mule, in which case THIS IS GOOD NEWS since you now have a perfect excuse to adopt a child from whatever race you desire, although you might struggle a bit to adopt that adorable Chinese kid since they have this two child policy thing and ironically children over there are in short supply which is odd since they are into hundreds of million but scarce in that each family has one or two, mostly one.

I will leave with the quote: they hate us cuz they ain’t us.
