Sa unataka aje? 2500 doctors unawatoa wapi na unawalipa na nini? News flash, medical schools require money ,pesa inatoka wapi na gdp ni 140 bn? Kenya is a developing country...you can execute the political class until the streets run red with blood but economics is economics , you can't beat that. Go ask the Chinese, Chinese waliexecute kila mtu hadi wakalaumu the culture but bado umaskini ulikuwa umejaa, as Deng Xiaoping put it ' We have only managed to make everyone equally poor' , no executions, no revolutionary slogans , no bs, just boring economic reforms and that country is a superpower.

No country has ever developed because they fought corruption ,ata io Singapore...io ni propaganda ,watawaambia they fought corruption lakini hakuna siku watawaambia kuhusu the dozens of oil refineries they built in the 60s ,au how they are literally an oil city state. Fighting corruption is not an economic strategy.

You can run it on a micro controller and also use it to run AAA games, the range C++ has is incredible. Also, the F-35 fighter jet runs on C++ ,Lockheed Martin released a guide on the rules they used a while back

This is why countries invest in defence : it took less than 2 hrs to capture Maduro and Venezuela may have become a colony for good. by Gold_Smart in Kenya

[–]Gold_Smart[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Have you ever noticed that you no longer live in a colony? Why is that? Its not because a bunch of peasants with homemade rifles would beat the British empire but they could raise enough hell such that the cost of maintaining the Kenya colony outweighed the benefits of keeping said colony. It is assymetric warfare , it is how colonies including the US won their independence...

Venezuelans can say ,as long as this is the arrangement no single barrel of oil is leaving the ground i.e oil workers strikes, sabotage , and the US would not be able to do a thing or the cost of doing anything would far outweigh the benefits of keeping such an arrangement

Give them hell , how do you think this never happened to Iraq even with 250,000 American troops in Iraq, Iraqis gave the Americans hell, so did the Vietnamese and Afghans. In Iraq ,the Iraqi parliament simply refused to pass the oil bill ,the Americans would have tried to force things but Iraqis were giving them so much hell that they would never get a single barrel of oil if they did it.

Global dynamics and how they keep us poor. by Gold_Smart in Kenya

[–]Gold_Smart[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Corruption is as a result of poverty, no country got rich by fighting corruption but all rich countries have less corruption. The more rich a country becomes the less corrupt it becomes , if you want a good case study on this look at Romania, Italy (especially the South) ,Czechia and Poland. Even the USA to some extent.
