Kenya: Outrage Over Jubilee's Chinese Made T-Shirts

[Iconoclastes]

My friend. I never defended their corruption. I like sticking to the topic at hand, which in this case was printing T-shirts in China.
And I explained the economics behind that.
Even if we are attacking either side, it is good to be reasonable and realistic. China is not just cheaper than Kenya but for the whole world.
It is only a person who really hates Jubilee that will attack them for cost cutting in their party.

But as much as you say we shouldn't mention Nasa when criticizing the government, the double standards by its supporters make it hard to ignore. Sorry.

Hahahaha.....cost cutting measures.

The reason so many jobs have been lost in this country, the so called " cost cutting measures".

Cost cutting measures indeed!

Hahahs....cost cutting measures, uh?

That is the reason why so many jobs have been lost; these so called cost cutting measures.

Cost cutting measures.

Nobody disagrees with that. So many jobs have also been lost in the US, UK etc. as a result of China's low cost of manufacturing.
These are realities beyond Kenya.

I've asked this before.
I want someone to bring pictures of Nasa printing theirs in Nairobi or anywhere in Kenya.
All campaign T-shirts from both sides are being made and printed in China. It costs 5 times less. That translates to hundreds of millions in savings when you have to print millions of T-shirts.
As I said, not ideal but it's the way it is.

I do agree wit you that all this guys drawn across the political devide (i.e both in Nasa and Jp) are all but numskulls. But kindly its the Gvt that is the big brother here and it should be leading from the front.

Read somewhere that to print 5 million T-shirts in China would save Sh500 million as opposed to printing in Kenya.
This is not pocket change we're talking about.
Outside the political party fund, campaign money should not come from government coffers. It is donations by interested individuals. If there's an opportunity to save Sh500 million and Tuju fails to take it, he would be answerable to many people.
