Summary
In Kenya, although the CBK has its issues, our failure in public finances in the national and county governments is the phenomenal elephant in the room. It will hurt generations to come.
Covid-19 has not just hardened the fundamentals but also unveiled new highs in venality.
An intellectual colleague at the CBK once compared our reliance on people with little in knowledge-based policy-making reputations to leaving your root canals to amateurs and risking consequential pain, even death.
If we reprise economic recovery with the same poor competences as in the past, we’ll ditch the country.
