Hi Arnette

Again just walk to any Nakumatt shop and check the items they sell….list the countries of origin? China-Indonesia etc…..hmmm that sounds like fish returned back to China. I am not on one side. Its good to see that my emails elicit hysterias.

Indians have commandered our economy for ages. I dont support that. But let the truth be told. How many Kenyans do you think have benefitted from the Asian investment? Check on education industries, entertainment, sports (we pride on cricket)…….what happens when an economy if made up only the local spice? Our economy whihc has pushed Kenyans to a corner…..we have a shocking brain drain – that those brains are supposed to come back make homegrown change. Why then do these brain guys hide in the cahoots of Western corridors? Simple – making a living. The very policies makers we talk here, fundraise from these very intelligent Kenyans out there. How do you call tha? Ukolono mamboleo ama vipi? So do i support the Kenyan in diaspora or an Indian who has opened a catering shop where i eat chips standing along the table wall?

One rule of power: do not outsmart your boss whether he is a fool. That is what those Kenyas who are being shouted at know. I have also seen African/Kenyan bosses who are more worse than those illiterate Indian merchants. Do not demand respect. Respect comes naturally from those around you.

Now we have a problem here. A statement of fact remain strong, uncontested. Can we ask Dr. Manu Chandaria to give us a lecture on Investments? Or do you know that this man is a genius in own right – an advisor to the government of Kenya, Chief Advisor to the Pakistan and Indian Governments, a renowned investor of the sort. No discrimination. No fair game here. Libyan should not be allowed to invest in Kenya.

Regards
Kombo Elijah
