Deputy President William Ruto has used the bible to explain his ‘bottom-up’ economic model that has become a subject of debate in recent weeks.
Addressing congregants at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Lang’ata, Nairobi on Sunday, Ruto compared the bottom-up economic model to the sermon in Psalms 113:7-8.
Psalms 113:7-8 states, “He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, he seats them with princes of his people.”
He challenged critics of the bottom-up economic philosophy to read the bible verse, saying it summarizes the philosophy.
"Neno la Mungu linatuambia Mungu humtoa mnyonge mavumbini," Ruto stated.
Ruto, who is eying the presidency in 2022, has pledged to employ the economic model to revive the country’s economy and uplift the lives of low-income earners.
“BOTTOM-UP is focused on DELIBERATELY creating Jobs, LIBERATING hustler enterprises from shylock-credit exploitation & unfair regulation and EMPOWERING our resource-poor farmers/herders to produce so as to FREE them from the slavery/indignity of relief food aid,” Ruto said through Twitter on Saturday.
He added that the bottom-up conversation “will burry tribalism, patronage, cronyism, and corruption.”
“We've the option of making peace with the mediocrity of leaders-centered, position/power-sharing politics & the failed trickle-down economics OR up our game to the PEOPLE-CENTRED & BOTTOM UP model that DELIBERATELY focuses on labor-intensive infrastructure/manufacture investments,” he added.

Ruto would have applied his “bottom-down” voodo economics plan if he had one! The only plan Ruto has is the plan of stealing and some deep seated corruption! I have Windermere enough if Kenyans are this dum to allow a man who has been caught in all manner of crimes to lie to them! Are Kenyans really this gullible because of money??
It is a good thing to be a Christian but do not be a naive and gullible Christian! Ruto is using the church to benefit himself alone. He is using Christians to escape taking 2008 responsibility in Kiambaa! He is using the mentally short sighted youth to avoid taking responsibility of the stolen lands eg where Weston sits! He is using the illiterates who don’t understand that Ruto looted our coffers through fake projects like Kimwerer and Arrow dams.
I’m sure God in Heaven is wondering why the clergy society has gone up in smoke because of the few stolen shillings Ruto ditches out to them to allow him to lie inside the house of the Lord!
As prof Makau puts it, Ruto must be properly dissected and analyzed for everything bad he has done in all the 44 tribal languages to make the common man and woman fully understand the Devil they are about to deal with should he be the next president of Kenya!
Folks buck up and enjoy the rough ride! You ain’t seen Ruto’s true colors yet….. ya, you haven’t seen it yet!!!!
Mister fake Seroney, why don’t you think your views would matter if you had used your real tribal name? Afraid, ashamed, naive or bastard?
I keep telling you that Ruto hasn’t stolen anyone’s thing. Get the evidence to court especially now if have any.
All the time talking Kiambaa. Don’t you think the people Kisumu, Nairobi Mombasa, and who happened to be in bigger numbers don’t count? Only your tribe that counts. Listen, a majority of your your neighbors are staunch supporters of Ruto!! And you cannot change that with your shenanigans.
You clearly need this makau to set you upside down for a minute this way you can wake up from your slumberland.
I interact with my neighbors every day! All my neighbors are my personal friends; a dear friendship that has been build and cultivated for a long period of time!
I work closely with my neighbors! None of my neighbors would ever vote for a thief and a murderer! Your neighbors would vote for a thief; you surely will vote for a murderer because you can only think and see things inside your tribal box that Ruto has surrounded himself with!
You see no wrong and you hear no evil committed by Ruto simply because crimes of passion is what bides all of your neighbors together!
It’s obvious Ruto will have people like you who won’t vote for him. That is how it should be. Democracy. No name calling. And at the end of the day inspite of your neighbors voting other way, there will emerge a winner. I will leave that as your other homework to guess who that winner will be.
Ruto’s empty rhetoric is beneath a bunch of nonsense!! Kenyans are better than the Ruto economic gibberish mixed up with poor interpretation of biblical verses!
Kwa nini mpaka sasa huyu Ndugu yetu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto haelewi ya kwamba "bibilia" ni kitabu cha imani ya Wayahudi? Mataifa mengine pia yana vitabu vya imani zao lakini hawashuritishi (compel) walio wanyonge (kwa kukinga imani ya mababu zao) kuwa wafuasi wa imani zao?
Imani nyingine inayotokana na mwana Amina (Qurani) ni imani ya kigeni ambayo inayotumia pia mabavu kueneza imani yao kwa watu wengine wasio Waarabu!
Ndugu Kipchirchir, nakuomba uende kwenye chuo cha bibilia na kuwa kasisi na kuachana na mambo ya siasa kabisa. Nakumbuka hata wakati mwingine Ndugu yetu Uhuru Ngina Kamau alikuita "Kasisi!"
Huwezi kutumia kitabu ambacho kimejaa mauaji, uongo, ubakaji, wizi, utumwa, na unyakuaji mashamba ya walio wanyonge duniani kama msimamo wa maisha yako!
He, Ruto is using a peaceful book to confuse the illiterate masses before he damps them all in the Indian Ocean and others in the small lakes in Kenya to include lake Victoria.
Ruto is a very hateful man and he is full of vengeance! You can see gate in Ruto’s ugly face! He will consume Kenyans with fire! You though Biwot was bad!!
His dark heart is evil and people need to know this to avoid a catastrophic end! Ruto is worse the a Lucifer! He will do much worse damage to Kenyans of a monumental magnitude that the entire world will live to narrate in the books of history!
You are the hateful one. Don’t you realize that people are not that dumb not to see that you are the same hateful person in here with different pseudo name witting but garbage. Ruto is not a man of sure measure. He draws and still grows overwhelming support across Kenya. With them being your brothers / sisters and all the other good people.
Stop your shenanigans.
Ok, to you truth is garbage but it makes a lot sorrowful sense when your folks led by Ruto kill women and children.
It makes a lot of sense when ruto steal Muteshi’s farm. It makes a lot of sense when ruto and his cable of thieves pocket 21 billion shillings for two dams to be build in your neck of the wood, which millions of people would have benefited from making fishing businesses, good water supply source, farming irrigation’s schemes, etc.
Just look a Weston hotel land saga; didn’t Ruto steal that piece of land and also tear gassed small children there? So don’t give some baloney about ruto! It is quite Ashanti g that you can support corruption like a damn fool! Ruto is not fit to be a president of Kenya!
If you are real about equity fight on corruption, land grabbers, intentional corporate failings in order to individually buy it back, then look at who owns grabbed hundreds of thousands of hectares bog land in Kenya. The latest scandal where people died as a result is the theft of Covid-19 donor funds. The ownership of corporations that used to be government management.
You sit here wining only of 100 acres, 2 acres ignoring the bigger picture.
The president said the other day he knows his thieves that steal Ksh 2 billion daily! Ksh 60 every month. That’s Ksh 720 billion every year.
If you are really fighting corruption and an individual, how come you fail to see this?
Me Muteshi is just turning in his grave as Ruto lies about empowering the downtrodden! This late man seriously suffered in Ruto’s dirty hands! Many have really suffered under Ruto’s rhetoric - Kenei’s family is still waiting to know why Ruto killed their son!

Ndugu Imara, I'm constantly at a loss as to why do many of our "leaders" are so taken by faiths that are really nothing more than vehicles for our subjugation. Ruto's political father was similarly full of false piety proclaiming a philosophy of peace, love and unity but he forgot to say peace for him, love of other people's things and headmistresses, and unity for him and his cronies in massive theft and corruption. The older aGīkūyū used to say there was no difference between the priest and the mzungu and I fear that Ruto is using religion just like the white man before him. As a people we are sometimes more Catholic than the pope and we are easily fooled by people proclaiming to be doing Gods work. We never stop to ask whose God. There are those among us who will defend Ruto despite the knowledge of his murderous , deceitful and corrupt behavior. It's almost like watching the rise of Trump only in Kenya
Wow, yes the “Seer”! Our folks are now acting like the ngati did during the fighting for Kenya’s independence! They deliberately betrayed the freedom fighters for cheap gifts similar to the chipping of stolen money by Ruto.
You said it right! The man of Sugoi is using the good word of God as an opium of the ignorant masses! He is also telling us not to think about the tribe; the same members he butchered in 2007/8 but now he lives them all to get the kikuyu votes in 2022.
Those kikuyu youth Ruto is targeting were about 10 years old when Ruto burned our women and children in Eldoret! Kuria, ndindi, kangata etc we’re also about 10 years old in their weak minds. They are the new ngati of the day; they are selling the Kikuyus short for their corrupt material gains after 2022.
The memories of the 2008 dark events in Eldoret have quickly faded in their small brains because of naive youthful inexperiences and pure greed.
What the youth and some sick politicians fail to know is that Ruto will deliver them to be guillotined should he get to the presidency! They are betraying the whole community betting on a mad man; something I thought I would never see it happen in my life time!
Ruto will be telling ndindi nyoro, Gitau, Wahome, etc the same thing Moi told his Vice President Saitoti as he bayed fir his blood to finish him politically and in person! Did you know at one point Saitoti was food poisoned by Biwot while Ruto was the blight eye boy overseeing Moi’s dirty games? Ruto is well trained to do more harm!!

We all must reveal why Ruto wants to be the president and the consequences of that to certain communities!
A leopard never loses its spots over night! We all know the Ruto of 2007/8; and why are we gambling with a lunatic?
The blood of Kiambaa is still fresh on Ruto’s lips and his hands are as bloody as the leopard’s claws! Ruto does not know God! He is using a religious monologue all to familiar to win the souls of the weak and the fainted! Did Ruto not attend churches prior to 2008? The same way he is busy attending churches to confuse the masses?
The Ruto we all know is a copy cat of Lucifer himself! Ruto and his kalenjin tribe are just calm and quiet as they wait for the fools from other communities to vote for their dog! Every evil will be leashed out immediately after 2022; and there will be tribulations foe many a people.
Ruto’s agents will swing into dirty actions immediately Ruto gets to state house! Be warned many will be killed enmass as Ruto continues to hide the killings inside the churches! Don’t be fooled people!
You elected him twice already. What are you talking of 08? Did you just woke up?
Matakonomics is a deceptive model Ruto has coined to lie and exploit the poor he is ushering with fake wheelbarrows.
This model has never worked anywhere in the world! It is just an old concept that is as old as the opium that Ruto smokes every day to keep his head high and aimed to confuse the general illiterate masses.
Most youth in Kenya are all in the pool of being deceived by a mad man who has stolen everything along the way for the past 30 years he has been in government! Moi taught him well and people should be very concerned about Ruto’s antics.
How come Ruto has not used matokonomics models to enrich the same youth he has been exploiting since YK92 under Moi?
Folks don’t be taken advantage and be used by a man soon heading to the ICC to answer to several charges of killings of your families and children!
Ruto is digging a huge hole of economic dependence by a larger percentage of able bodied Kenyans - the youth! Matakonomics has not worked in the past, won’t work, and the end result is disastrous!
You don’t listen to na mad man when you see one running across the market butt naked! That lunatic is DP Ruto and he is deliberately misleading the masses by using the Bible because he knows he can misquote it to lead people astray!
I do not understand why Kenyan youth are gambling with a man who killed their families in 2007 and has stolen everything Kenya owns!
May be the end of times is near and it will come through Ruto for Kenyans. I don’t have any other way I can put this madness!
The one mad bastard running across market with Matakonomics is you. It’s not for nothing that this Ruto commands a good support across the country. Old and young. Btw most of those YK92 are in good shape courtesy of none other than Ruto.
Do you even know how to wipe your ass let alone explaining matakonomics - the dead political slogan which bears not significant meaning to the poor???
Glad you can confirm about the YK92 where Ruto trained his corruption eyes which led to your Cuz Ruto stealing 21 billion shillings set to build Kimwerer and arrow dams where your grandma was supposed to get fetch drinking water!
You can be a Ruto murderous disciple all you want but I expect you to condemn a thief, whether your Cuz Ruto, your auntie Rachel, grandpa semoei Ole Mashamba and what have you!!
You are such a dummy and an idiot @shugulila.
Kenyans need to wise up every time Ruto opens his silly mouth to lie to them! As a matter of fact I think it is wise to shut off Ruto with his maddening empty models of fake economics - the bottom-down shit! as explained by Alice Wahome!
He will misquote everything to confuse you for his own benefits! All Ruto wants is to climb to the presidency and the rest will be a terrible sorrow for many Kenyans.
Ruto will leave Kenyans straddled in the wilderness for 40 years while he and his cable of frens will be eating milk and honey elsewhere. Guys you got a lunatic talking crazy things that he can’t substantiate to you! Don’t be conned by a huge thief please!
Don’t be fooled by a man who never cared for you in the past! Ruto should be handled with a real man’s groves and cast him to the pits of hell! The man is a Devil incarnate and he will consume you with brimstone and funnels of fire!!!
He is a terrible liar even worse than Satan himself! Do not fall for some cooked up scams worse than many scams he has been involved in as we all know them!! You don’t want Ruto to ruin our beautiful country with nonsense! Ruto is unfit to be the next president of Kenya! I’m speaking out as a Kenyan who knows Ruto very well! He is misleading you all..
Well noted @Kipruto! I think you have a good point worth noting!
Wow, the devil is a true liar to have Ruto misinterpreting the Bible; a book written to give us true guidance to our spirituality! And possibly the future events of real life!
Adolf Hitler of Germany quoted the Bible verses regularly thus having the Jews literally fall in love with him. He use several other Jews to confuse the ordinary Jews. The simple minded Jews who could not clearly grasp Hitler’s message! Ruto message is far worse than that of Hitler of Germany!
Over 6 millions Jews were killed by Hitler in the first 2-4 years of him being the Chancellor of Germany! Any sensible woman and man can see the same thing happening with ruto being the president of Kenya!
People need to wake up and take a hard look of Ruto and his past history of very bad things! Has Ruto the man who killed women and children in 2008 gone from Saul to Paul? It is the same bitter Ruto and he will do more damage especially to the kikuyu community that he has always wanted to totally eliminate!
I am spending a special plea to the kikuyu youth to wake up and start to think long a hard wher Ruto will take them!
Ruto eliminated 1,600 Kikuyus in 2008 massacre! He will kill 100 times that number if he becomes the president in 2022! People are praying with fire; but soon they start burning all hell will break lose like they did not know it was coming!!
I lived through the horrors of Kiambaa in 2008. It took us two weeks to travel from Eldoret to Nakuru , then to Naivasha under very difficult circumstances! We were physically threatened and we escaped in the darkness of untold fears!
I still have severe nightmares of what I saw in 2008 in Eldoret! I lost everything I owned because of Ruto calling us madowadowa (stains) in the rift valley! The kalenjin community wants to kill all the Kikuyus in the Rift Valley. It is not a secret!
The Ruto of 2007/8 is the same Ruto today. He has not changed at all! Those he killed in 2008 in Kiambaa and within that evil vicinity deserve to get justice. He ordered our homes and businesses to be burned and we have not recovered many years later.
Ruto still got a case to answer at the ICC! That is why he wants to be president by force to claim immunity from prosecutions!
We need to uncover the truth about Kiambaa and why Yembei and many others were killed! My uncle was slashed with a machete into pieces to his death and then stuffed into a Silo tank to rot, decay and be forgotten! To the youth of Kiambaa and Rurii, please do not betray us for the second time!
All these evils happened in Sudi’s kapseret constituency! Those are the Ruto’s folks who coordinated the killings of innocent children and adults! They will do it again after 2022.
We need to strongly speak out and let khan know we are still waiting for justice to be delivered! I hope Gicheru will tell the truth about Ruto!
Ruto is the wrong man to become the next president of Kenya.
Here comes the man of the devil trying to keep himself relevant with a bunch of lies! Wake up Kenyans before Ruto eats you alive!
The demons of hell are being unleashed to Kenyans through a caniving Satanic man in the name of DP Ruto! Follow him to your own peril! You will be gnashing your teeth alone in his hell!
Our country is at a dangerous point where a murderer and thief stands at the pulpit to lie to the people of God and to buy them with bloody money!
It is called a dangerous cross-roads! We can chart a better way of life if we take the less traveled road, or we can all head to hell under Ruto’s bottom-down deceptive models of the economy! I would prefer we chose the less travelled road to get Kenya to its destination safely and securely! Ruto is just a bad choice just like a bad dream!!
How I wish and pray that Ruto could stop lying to the youth; the weakest link, in Kenya today! He knows he telling Kenyans a big lie but he won’t stop! What a bomber!!
Politicians are just but the devil’s advocates! Ruto’s actions are on the side of the devil but his deceptive monologue can buy him a sweet spot on the other side! Be careful of a wolf in sheep’s Woolen clothing!!
There is nothing wrong with targeting the poor for economic growth. There is a host of economic interventions that can be directed specifically for the poor. For example. Cheap and easy loans for small scale entrepreneurs, technical training for various groups eg carpenters, fishermen, jua kali articants etc, Finding financing and supportive policies for agribusiness, supporting cash crop industries eg coffee and tea, supporting pastoralists, finding investors for industrial parks, low cost manufacturing, etc etc, nothing wrong with this folks, helping the educated folks to start internet business. Having a tax and business policy structure that is supportive for Small Scale Entrepreneurs. Nothing wrong with this at all folks. Those that are against it should pick their battles much better in my view.
The county government has been offering the local residents with small business loans to start businesses and do the things you are saying here!
Did anyone say it is wrong to support the tertiary local small businesses? These loans have been provided at minimal interest rates for the past 10 years now and before!
UDA under Ruto is just jumping in the fray to confuse the process! As a matter of fact Ruto used to get a cut from the poor residents before Uhuru booted him out of the programmer. Corruption of the highest order!
Ask some body who understands the process and how it has been working before you jump up here to make a big pussy/ass of yourself!
@ achieng.am glad we are talking about the economy. During this covid 19, the more we can talk about how to improve various sectors of the economy and regions of the country the better. Insults on the other hand is the language of small minds.
You must have dropped from Jupiter @kim! Everything you have said here have been happening since independence! Kenya has more high tech gurus in the small blue economy sector than many other countries in Africa! I think you are deeply poorly informed or you just don’t read current news!
These are just campaign slogans that will never materialize. Ruto was agriculture minister one time and we all know what happened to that ministry. From 2013 to now he's DP of Kenya. My point is he should be selling to Kenyans what he has done for them not what he will do.
Right on the money! The crook is talking about a future but he can’t a punt for the past and the present! Only fools can believe Ruto!
This Ruto’s bottom-down or bottom-up is a pure lie no matter what side of the lens you look at it! How far can a wheelbarrow travel in one day while we are in the age of Jeff Bazos traveling to space in 11 minutes?? A wheelbarrow is a Stone Age thing people!
Shouldnt Kenyans be looking of a better way to improve the middle class economy to help better those who are at the bottom of the ladder; as Wahome called the the “bottom-down”! Something is very strange where Ruto can’t even explain his bottom-down model of developing the economy. Do you really expect a man who studied plants to understand the real life economy?
The people Ruto is telling about a bottom-up lie don’t even know how to manage a one shilling because they have never earned one!
These are the people sitting under Ruto’s big table waiting for pieces of bread crumbs to fall in their hungry mouth and that is the end of the deal!
Ruto is worth over $400 stolen millions and so he can afford to carry his deceit until August 2022 when the naive crowd of people vote for him and then he will ditch them like they all have been attacked by leprosy!! Then if you speak after 2022, Ruto will have you for dead!
Let us all wake up and vote for the right person who is eager to teach us to fish as a team of equals so we can all build our country strong together! Ruto is not the right choice for the youth no matter how much he can lie to us!
Moi used the Bible verses too to confuse the masses! But then he used his henchmen to kill others at will. Ruto was one of Moi’s faithful henchman!
Ruto is a graduate of Moi’s school of politics! He graduated from that corruption institution with Magna Cumloudy! The highest honors he could get!
Ruto is putting everything he learned to work for him, himself and him alone! He will use all his henchmen - Murkomen, sudi, Nyoro, Wahome, kuria, Gitau, Linturi’s, kindiki, Barasa, etc to do his dirty deeds!
The bottom-up economic theories have been tested and severely failed to meet the bar! Even a kid, I’m 2 year old, will tell you that DP Ruto is telling a huge bigly lie!
Also as a matter of vision. We should seek to produce enough food thru better agricultural policies and practices to feed our country as well as our neighbors and other export destinations.
I agree with you @kim! This reminds me how Ruto killed agriculture and the minister of agriculture! He failed then as a minister and he will be a failed president!
“Resource-poor farmers?” Did Ruto not tell farmers to start growing a Avacados so that he could monopolize the maize business by conducting magendo selling imported maize to enrich himself when he was the minister for agriculture!?
It is during Ruto’s time in that ministry that Kenyans got hungry! Ruto is all about himself! This bustard thief ought to leave Kenyans alone!!
The main problem with Ruto is the simple fact that he can not be trusted! The sound of Ruto’s name makes Kenyans jittery and worried to death! His past history is very dirty, and can not be cleansed in due course!
What is in a name?? The name means everything about the holder of that name!
If you say Jesus Christ, the people warmly rise up to worship him!
If you say Satan, the people scamper in fear of going to hell and the fear of the unpredictable to be unleashed!
DP Ruto’s name has a lot of deep fears attached to it! It is nearly similar to mentioning the name of Satan!
And why would anyone take a chance of voting for Satan to lead them while the consequences are well known to all?
“To be, or not to be: that is the question”: DP Ruto is in a pickle - simply ruto is in a difficult place….. because a coward dies many times before his real death…!
Ruto if you have to use foreign religion and quote a foreign bible,
let us use it all the way and remind our people we are in the Revelation chapter of the bible where everything will be revealed before the restoration of God's children around the world.
Revelation 13:10
" He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; He that killeth with the sword must be killed with a sword: Here is the patience and faith of the saints".
Kenyan priests have sold their souls. Why do they allow me this man and other politicians to get on the pulpit and address the congregation?
They allow Ruto to get on the puppet to lie to the weak Kenyans because he bribes them with stolen money!
Money is the root cause of all evils! And Ruto is evil! The clergy in Kenya have sold their soul for money!
They have converted Christ Jesus’s good message to be a tool for them to earn earthly wealth! Ruto knows that far too well.
He is using the clergy to sanitize his criminality and corruption! Just like Hitler did to climb to power in Germany!
I’m not a seer like Mugo wa Kibiro: but as far as I know, Raila Odinga has never killed a kikuyu!
The one here mixing funny bottom-down economic theories with biblical verses has killed many Kikuyus in the past! That is something a layman from any kikuyu village can never forget or forgive - especially when those he killed in 2008 were our little offsprings!
All I can tell the one who killed our kids: you got a big mouth and your sorrowful actions have not been forgiven!
The deaths of children are as fresh as a newly open wound, and the seer says that debt was never paid!
@Sigiti. Raila Odinga will not be president come 2022. Kenyans know him well enough. Enough has already been said about him on this forum. What the people of this forum have to ask themselves is why do you think Ruto has such strong support on the ground? What is it that he has done for the last 12 years that has endeared him so strongly to his supporters. The Mt Kenya vote is strongly favoring ruto. What is it that they see in him? I will let you answer that question for yourselves. But I think it is because he has been a major part of the political solutions in the country for the last 12 years. IF we are going to be honest we cannot overlook this fact. There seems to be a political strategy to strongly criticise the man. That is all fine and well because he has to be vetted for the position that he is running for . But my point is, white washing Raila's political history really is not going to work.
I was thinking about, one of the main pillars of chinese wealth is the fact that ; The US and other rich countries in the world are addicted to their cheap manufactured goods. As such Kenya should try to tap into this gravy pot. The Kenyan Govt should look into ways of giving life to a strong manufacturing sector. Such as the manufacturing of high value products at low manufacturing costs hence low market prices. This will then create a competitive supply of manufactured goods coming from Kenya and hopefully heading to various rich countries in the world. This model can be a significant source of wealth for the country and jobs for its citizens in my opinion. I think that Ruto has a good economic model to present to Kenyans. His key message for the 2022 campaign should be advocating for Peace among the tribes and the Economy.
Okay So I think I have said enough on this topic. But for those that are doubting see what ethiopia is doing. They had 90% growth in exports Year over year from last year. Key sectors being agriculture( coffee, flowers), mining but also their industrial parks.
Except that now they are killing a certain community in Tigray! It can also happen here in Kenya too! Just as it happened in Eldoret in 2008! While we all want peace and economic progress, we must be able to trust the messager! Kenyans are deeply nervous with the sound of Ruto’s name. I don’t trust Ruto! Ruto is not the right man for Kenya in 2022, unless we all want to see blood shed every where!
Kimanzi, you have summarized it perfectly. Tell them the truth.
Why hasn't he used that obsolete economic model so far .He has been ruling us for decades..why now and not before.?
I guess that he doesn't even know what bottoms-up economic model means.It has never worked out for any country .
Hawa mashetani are ready to sell even their souls to the devil just to sit on that shameful "absolute power" seat.
Mungu deal with these demons and put them where they belong.
The Scripture does NOT mention Corruption and Grabbing of other people's land. Ruto is showing us how Some Christians have NOT learnt anything from King David mistakes (for Example). And their Behavior in Church is One of the Reasons JESUS whipped some People out of the Synagogue.
Denying Ruto the seat of presidency simply means totally killing corruption, theft, graft, and unwarranted murders of innocent children!
The Ruto cable network of close friends such as ndindi, sudi, kuria, Murkomen etc are equally corrupt and should be kept the farthest from the presidency! In doing this honorable act will be the best possible way to choke graft in our lovely country!
I can only take or believe in Kibwana plan.All others led by muuaji Raila & jambazi Ruto are trash.Take an example of jambazi Uhuru pretending to fight corruption but leading other gangsters in looting shs 730b per year on top of shs 200b EUROBOND and his sisters EATING NHIF funds.Jambazi Uhuru even “boasted” how they loot shs 2b daily.Or muchawi Raila promising to enforce the law in 2007 campaigns but slaughtering/cannibalizing 1300 Kenyans in one month.Quite the opposite.
About Housing. I saw a really good model for housing development in Nigeria by a Gambian Development Engineering company. It was highlighted in the wode maya youtube show. Where the Nigerian Govt(state/federal) , partners with highly qualified housing developers, banks ,as well as diaspora financing to create beautiful housing developments. This can be among the models that the UDA govt can look into in Kenya;
Surely @kim you do not have the basic know how of economic models if you think uda and Ruto have a crew where Kenya needs to be!
Please don’t tell us to model Nigeria for our development concepts because everything there is haphazardly done!
I lived in Victoria island but also I traveled widely within Nigeria and I truly do not want Kenya to copy the ninja man in our good Kenyan economic models! What you saw there maybe the best for your taste and eyes! Our Kenyan models are geared toward the 22nd century; mind you!!
There is nothing that work in Nigeria except a well oiled corruption network! That is Ruto in totality for learners like you! Please do not take us back to the 18th century!
@jOSH.Am afraid you completely missed my point. One of the problems that many people in Diaspora have is how to invest in Kenya. How to build a home in Kenya for example without money being stolen. What i am referring to there is an example of how . The Govt, qualified developers, banking sector and diaspora remittances worked together to create a housing development. This is nothing new and if well done without the huddles of corruption and bad government bureaucracy has the potential of providing a decent option for diaspora folks to invest. The reference to Nigerian corruption is neither here nor there, The readers of mwakilishi are very smart and can see through it.
@kim - you are very mixed up in your mind! The scenarios you keep presenting here are archaic and impractical.
Many of my diaspora Kenya friends have widely invested in Kenya without any issues using their hard earned money! Many of my friends and I have huge rental assets across Kenya. We are also in logistics business and much more!
However, The last thing we would want to do in entrust Ruto with our money or our investments! Because it will all end up stolen!
I read a place you asked about what Ruto has done in the past 12 years! Let’s go back to what Ruto has done in the past 30 years. Ruto has been stealing from the poor tax payers and other avenues to enrich himself. Asked Jirango how Ruto stole in 1992 YK92!
He is the most corrupt DP in the world! Wake up @kim because I know you are not that stupid not to know the facts! Your attitude about a thief is exactly what is keeping Kenya backward! We must root out corruption fir the economy to expand!
Huyu Ndugu yetu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto anachanganya "siasa na dini!" Ukichanganya vitu hivi viwili, unapata "Hiroshima" na "Nagasaki." Mnakumbuka mambo mabaya sana yaliyotendeka katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret 2007/2008!
Siasa ni chafu sana. Na pia mambo ya dini na imani ni chafu kama siasa. Taasisi (institutes) hizi mbili zimehusika na vifo vya mamilioni ya watu wengi sana duniani.
"Labour intensive infrastructure" that would be the wheelbarrows
A bunch of nonsense, empty rhetoric and bible quote thrown in the mix to fill up space and confuse the gullible christians. Incompetence at its best. This thief does not have a plan.
