The Political Economist

                                 Surrendered but still on course, In recent times, the country has faced a renaissance of socio-political activism, especially among its youthful population. What happened in June 25 2024, marked a bold moment in the history of demonstrations in the quest for public accountability showcasing the power and determination of Generation Z to call for change. Gen Z, a generation of people born from 1997-2004. And of course it was not the nation’s first time experience a youthful population rising to defy the status quo as it present a historical continuity of a youthful involvement in the country’s political issues. Not a first-time experience, read some history! Remember Kenya African Union, Mau Mau, the Kepenguria Six and other grass root freedom fighting organizations during the colonial era? These local organizations played a crucial roles in the struggle for Kenya’s...

  Kamala Up, Trump Up & Voters about to bring down one of them! More than 180 million American voters will be heading to the polls this November to elect their 47 th president! The heat is up but make no doubt the climate of the upcoming America’s elections has shifted quite dramatically, changing the outlook of this elections into something that Americans and the world never expected. Two month ago, President Biden marked history to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Once, a contender for second term against his 2020 victory-victim Donald Trump who is running to make a comeback to the Whitehouse, actually both of them were struggling to regain the Whitehouse is now well-wisher   silent grandpa to VP Kamala.   Biden’s age had dominated the political discourse making many democrat voters concerned about his ability to serve for another four years. This was unignorably paining fact to President Biden and senior democrat politicians that adamantly insisted that...

  Infidelity is inarguably an offensive act to other  party being cheated on.  In whatever the context, be it business deals, be it political arrangement or in usual heterosexual woman-man relationship; dating or marriage, cheating should be a strongly condemnable act. It is an outright insult to long-blossomed trust between partners yet most  tempting  that can seriously lead to irreparable impacts in any relationship. Most marriages that have been descended down to collapse have been ascribed to infidelity. But as we fathom the concept of cheating and how each partners should embrace the aftermath of cheating, there is a becoming thought that there is gender-specific reactions towards it. Basically, there should be difference between how   woman react when her husband is caught cheating and in instance of when she's woman cheating.  Shortly before I lay out the difference, let’s understand concept of sex and love in respect to both of men and wo...

                                                “There will be no Church   in the next 200 years, am not saying ‘No Faith & God’, but ‘No Church’, get me clear!” I once heard these words in a certain podcast, didn’t take them seriously but now there is a coming belief that person who said them was not actually crazy as I had thought in that moment. I n the   present fast-shifting worldscape , the ascendancy of organized religions is undergoing through   intense alteration than ever before in the history of religious transformation . Once foundations of soc iocultural power, organized religions such as Christianity are immensely facing unprecedented drawbacks , especially in regards to the youth population. This trend is not exclusive to Christianity but it extends to other stronger faiths such as Islam , Hinduism , Buddhism. However, this dec...

  My sincere worries stem from the worrying trends in rising debt and key economic indicators crucial for our country's economic development. The Debt/Revenue ratio, currently at 64.3%, surpasses the IMF threshold of 30.0% by over 30%, signalling a potential doom on our fiscal capacity. Additionally, the Debt/GDP ratio has climbed to 70.2%, exceeding the IMF threshold of 50.0% for developing countries by more than 20%. National Treasury debt ceiling was also recently amended in the Public Finance Act, 2012, from a fixed shilling mark to any figure not surpassing 55% of the country’s GDP, but as usual it is difficult to argue that this amendment won't be altered in the near future  as fiscal deficit continues to soar in every cycle of financial year. These statistics paint a concerning picture, pointing towards an unsustainable trajectory that demands our immediate attention. Further complicating matters are the prevailing economic headwinds, including the ongoing con...

Joe Biden- what a man he is!  And the former president Trump on rematch for the Whitehouse after a nasty showdown in 2020. The former seeking to extend his stay while the other aiming to a make comeback.  While this election is shaped by several issues spanning from immigration, inflation and sociocultural policy issues, there is a spreading belief in the US and across the world that the domineering nature of US influence in global affairs have been on a drastic decline in recent years. The ongoing military conflicts in eastern Ukraine, ongoing Conflicts in Gaza, and tensions in South China Sea among others are some of the evidences proving the declining trend of US supremacy in the world.  In Trump’s and MAGA perspective, the Biden administration has failed to keep the world in order but instead have projected weakness in his foreign policy approaches, promoting wars while generating disrespect from US’s adversaries, likes  of China and Russia.  Trump’s Make ...
