If their government is not corrupt and still have enough energy to implement massive projects, hakuna haja kubwa sana zaidi ya kufanya market liberalization under some restrictions ....

Kumbuka hakuna mfumo perfect kama mixed economy maana iliobakia ipo too theoritical

Tayari wako katika harakati ya kushift to the mixed economic system, makampuni mengi ya serikali yanaelekea kuwa privatized. Lakini bado wamekatalia mbali kuallow private sector kwenye sector ya communication, banking......na sijui transportation? For sone reasons they want to be in control of these sectors.

Tayari kuna several private sectors zinanihusisha na manufacturing for example, sana sana makampuni ya Uchina.

Corruption huko iko chini sana, na govt imejitolea kutekeleza miradi mingi ya maendeleo, lakini changamoto yao kuu ni skilled man- power. Hapo sasa ndipo Kenya, pamoja na Tz inawapiga bao.

Service industry huangalii kwenye sector moja tu ya aviation unaifanyia tathmini ya nchi yote, kaka naomba nikuelimishe kwamba sisi ni service driven economy ambapo huduma inachangia 50.7% ya GDP wakati Ethiopia wanachezea kwenye 40%.

Ukiangalia kwenye idadi ya maskini, Ethiopia na Tanzania zina asilimia kubwa zaidi ya Kenya kwa watu wanaoishi chini ya $2 kwa siku.

Kaka Ethiopia ndio ya pili Afrika kwa wingi wa watu, nilikose hapo awali, inakisiwa kuwa na watu milioni 106 ambapo kwa hawa, kuna milioni 37 ambao ni maskini hohe hahe, yaani hiyo kitakwimu ni karibia idadi ya Wakenya wote. Halafu unakosea aidha kwa makusudi au kwa kutokujua kwamba eti Ethipia wanategemea uchumi wa huduma, fahamu hawa ukulima kwao ni asilimia 50% ya GDP halafu wana madini kupita maelezo, Wachina wametiririka huko balaa.

Literacy rate yao ni 49% sasa utawezaje kuwaweka kwenye ushindani wa service sector na Wakenya ambao literacy rate yetu inachezea kwenye 80% pia ukizingatia yenu ni kwenye 70%
Angalia hata kwenye HDI, sisi tunachezea kwenye Medium Human Development wakati wao Ethiopia na nyie Tanzania huchezea kwenye Low Human Development

HDI ya 0.53 na 0.55 siyo tofauti kubwa ya kuweza kusema maisha ya nchi Fulani ni ya hali ya juu kuliko nchi Fulani. They are all at the cut-out. Kenya is at the bottom of the middle class as is Tanzania is at the top of the lower class. So I think these things are just being overblown here. The economies are the same, both three economies. the difference is not life altering.

Kenya food prices among the highest in the world – researcher
May. 26, 2017, 12:45 am
BY AGATHA NGOTHO @AgathaNgotho

Food prices in Kenya are among the highest in the world, a researcher has said.

Dr Timothy Njagi, a researcher from Tegemeo Institute, said maize prices in Kenya are three times higher than the global market price.

“In Kenya, a tonne of maize in the local market is selling at Sh50,000 ($500 ) compared to the global market price of Sh15,000 ($150 ). A tonne of sugar in Kenya is selling at Sh120,000 and Sh40,000 globally,” he said.

According to the Regional Agricultural Trade Intelligence Network by the Eastern Africa Grain Council, a tonne of maize in Kenya is selling at between Sh56,045 and Sh85,068 in the wholesale and retail market, respectively. In Uganda, the same quantity is retailing at between Sh56,761 and Sh51,085. While in Tanzania, traders are selling it at between Sh55,097 and Sh68,871.

Interim head of Sugar Directorate Solomon Odera yesterday said imported sugar is selling at Sh6,300 per 50 kilogramme bag, while local sugar is retailing at between sh6,800 and Sh7,200, for the same quantity.

He said the current food prices are the highest the country has experienced in five year.

“The price of basic commodities such as maize and milk has increased significantly due to drought-related factors. However, the 2011 drought situation was more severe than this year, but the food prices did not escalate this much,” he said.


Agriculture PS Richard Lesiyampe had earlier said that after every five years, the country struggles with extreme weather conditions, which has a huge impact on the food balance sheet.

“The effects of climate change are real and in every four-five years cycle, we have to face an extreme drought. The rising temperature coupled with new crop diseases and pests will to a large extent restrain food production, leading to famine,” he said.

Njagi said the interaction between drought, policy and markets has been the major cause of high commodity prices in Kenya.

“In the next one year, the purchasing power of consumers will be interrupted as the cost of production is expected to remain high, while food productivity will be low,” he said.

Njagi said the country’s food production trend has been declining in the last two years, owing to numerous gaps along the value chain. The 2016-17 production year has been characterised by the prolonged drought, which has led to low food production.

“Wheat dropped by seven per cent to 222,000 metric tonnes, rice by 12 per cent to 102,000 metric tonnes and maize decreased by 14 per cent to 37 million bags. Equally, milk production to processors fell from 560,000 litres to 360,000 litres in the same period,” he said.

Kenya remains largely a net importer of key food – maize, wheat and rice. On average, the country imports more than 50 per cent of its demand for rice and wheat and seven-10 per cent of maize

In the world! Achanga!

Numbeo sio blog uchwara, ni website inayotumiwa na maexpatriates kucompare the cost of living in different countries, kwanza hawa ndio hucontrobute kwa hiyo blog.

Sasa ni vipi the cost od vyakula Kenya viwe among tge most costly in the world? Siasa nini?

Kabla ya drought, si bei ya unga ilikuwa sh 60 kwa kilo, bei ikapanda hadi sijui 200. Lakini bado sidhani it the costliest in the world, hizo ni porojo.

Bei ya vyakula Tanzania ni nafuu kuliko Kenya, bei ya viwanja vya kujengea nyumba Tanzania ni ndogo kuliko Kenya, bei ya saruji Tanzania ni ndogo kuliko Kenya, gharama ya usafiri Tanzania ni ndogo kuliko Kenya, kodi ya pango Tanzania ni ndogo kuliko Kenya n.k. Wewe unaujua ukweli ila unaleta unazi humu.

Hata miji mingine ya Tanzania ni nafuu kuliko miji mingine ya Kenya, ndio ukweli huo.

Ni miji michache ambayo ina maisha ghali na kadri ya upeo wangu ,dar na arusha ndo zina cost kubwa za maisha halafu kumbuka CPI inahitaji busket of goods ambazo ni essential na huwa consumed na part kubwa ya population kama chakula ambacho kwa Tanzania ni bei rahisi...

Ndio maana huwa nawaonesha ndugu zanguni wakenya kuwa tuna tofauti kubwa sana ya kiuchumi baina yetu ambapo comparisons za kwenye makaratasi zinaweza zisiakisi hali halisi... Kenyans mna large retail business ukilinganisha nasi lakini haimaanishi kuwa mna maisha bora kutokana na ukweli kuwa lifestyles zetu ni tofauti
