Kweli chuki ni mbaya.. Baba is the only answer and the right man to be Kenyan President given the network he commands worldwide. He commands investors confidence as well. Hebu muone anavyo pepea hewani na makaribisho anayo pata popote pale aendako. Huyu ndiye mkombozi wa kweli. Wafidhuli na wasabasi hawaoni haya. Tourism sector in coast has collapsed and somebody stupid upstairs will disagree with me. Kweli hata Yesu alikataliwa.

WACHA UJINGA! MKOMBOZI NI YESU PEKEE! HUYO JAMA MWITA BABA NI BABA YA NANI?

YOU AND I WE WILL NOT PAY TAX IN ONE YEAR INSTEAD THE STOLEN MONEY WILL BE USED AS TAX, WHAT A WONDERFUL KENYA WILL BE WHEN ACHIEVING THIS DREAMS. IT WILL BE LIKE MANNA DROPPING FROM EVEN EVERYONE WILL BE LICKING EVEN THOSE ONE WHO HAVE BEEN OPPOSING BABA!

Dont fogert ( Evanet )… Our Cashew nut factory in Kilifi has remained idle for the last 30 years. Machines were disconnected, removed and deliberately relocated to Kenya Nut at Thika factory. The Kilifi factory while in operation had a workforce close to 5000 employees. A kilo of cashew nuts was going for a 100 shillings, farmers were getting rich really fast now a kilo is less than 30bob. The government sensing danger, had, to close it down to make its citizens remain poor. I thot the leaders who portend to support jubilee could start by reviving the factory, something must be wrong with our leaders and somebody stupid upstairs will disagree with me. Give facts when commenting.

Am very sorry but this one cant go without being challenged. My grandparent was one of the biggest cashew nuts buyers of that time and around 1992 cashew nuts were coming all the way from bamba, langobaya, mwarandinda, bale, kaembeni, tezo roka to our home and a kilo of was around ksh 5. Mr Kahindi 30 years back from now a 100 bob was very much given that 2kilo of unga was less than 5 shillings. For now as i comment this a kilo of cashew nut is ksh 50 and not 30 bob. What I mean is this has fallen short of a propaganda and I think you should update yourself with information. I would be happy if RAILA can convince some of the investors to come and start a cashew nut factory at kilifi through the county government but this can not be because his aim of going there is just to portray kenya negatively, but after his portrait that stops investors from coming to kenya who suffers? go on calling him mwokozi but he is just thirst for power and ready to do anything that can salvage him including stoping of investors, creating artificial economic crisis to brainwash his worshipers.

Mgiriama halisi you’re always short of history while am talking of the factory having been deliberately run down and closed at that time, you talk of 1992. Then why don’t you ask you grandfather to give you abit of history? I pity you brother coz while you feel so bad when Raila is mentioned, i also wonder if Uhuru is your saviour. Jubilee must have promised you something tangible a thing that did not materialise after the loss of the Malindi seat.
REAL MGIRIAMA HALISI. says
What am saying is you can not lie to us that 30 years back from now a kilo of cashew nuts was sold @ 100 bob and for now a kilo is 30 bob and while am buying @ 50 bob. This is a big lie and it shows how you have nothing to comment. Remember we have county government which can wow investors and come to build a factory at kilifi but because your governor has failed you are blaming the central government. For RAILA to be invited at that forum it shows he has the capacity of wowing these investors but will he do it? lala uiyirwe ukilamuka ukopewe zhele.

Walobwa na iye tsaweyo mtsai akifa. Atleast nidzamaya kumbe u broker wa korosho?.. Can you show me the governor who has excelled in his duties? I transverse a lot of the counties and i don’t see much that has been achieved. The system is only starting so don’t expect wonders coz even Rome was not built in a day instead you seem to suffer from inferiority complex. But stick to issues rather than licking other people’s boot who don’t add value to your life. You will end up being a spent force.

Rome was not built in one day but you want Uhuruto to do everything in one day.even giving you food to eat. jielewe. mr.

Kingi says
@Mgiriama kindly tell us who is building Rome? Is it this digitalised corrupt government? Is it this digitalised tribal government? Is it this digitalised land grabbing government? Is it this digitalised insecure government? Is it this digitalised bank fraud government? Is it this digitalised kusema na kusema government? Is it this digitalised raping University students government? Is it this digitalised NYS looting funds government? Is it this digitalised Euro bond eating government? Is it this digitalised intimidating government? Is it this digitalised nepotism government? Is it this digitalised TUMETENGA government? Rome as you can see it today, was built on good governance, respect for rule of law, visionary leadership, democracy and respect for all regardless of their social background, religious belief and even race
REAL MGIRIAMA HALISI. says
I think you should concentrate on your county government rather than shifting the blame. Your governor has failed miserable and because he is in cord you dont see this but you are always talking about the national government. Can your governor account for the money given to him by the national government? Visionary leadership, do we have it in kilifi county?
