POLITICS: OUR CURSE?

Last evening as I shuffled through channels seeking business news, I noted that there seem to be a silent agreement between the NSE and the media houses not to accelerate the panic at the bourse with one just glossing over the days performance and another not even bothering to report on the days activity. However one station, which seems to relish on negatives news very much, gave a detailed report of the continuing massacre. The News anchor either out of ignorance or sadistic malice gleefully reported on the slide in a manner, such that, if one entered into the room midway, one would be forgiven to think that she was reporting about a massive bull run. Digressing, outside their pretty faces[depending on the eyes of the beholder], what other criteria do those who employ them consider for employment because in my honest opinion, some of them, fit the African version of the stereotype blond.

While there are many reasons as to why most exchanges in the world are bearish, Ours is also compounded by our politics. I wish there was a way where we could round up all these politicians, lock them up and throw away the key. Whether its the buffoon dully elected president, who lately, even junior civil servants seem to have very little respect for, the clownish right honorable Prime Minister, or the dwarfish president wannabe, the politics they played have put us in the current mess. And what is their loss? none!!!! They continue getting their obscene perks and continue to have have influence to even get more affluent even as, us ordinary mortals, continue fighting one another over them, as inflation continue to strangle us and our value continues getting eroded as the NSE slides, interest rates rises and property like homes keep getting out of our reach.

What is our curse that we allow these bunch of users to continue raping us. Exit the Duly elected, enters another bunch of clowns. One has the temerity to aspire to rule us after his Father grabbed with impunity all the land that ordinary folks died fighting for while another shamelessly embarks on political campaigns even when wounds caused by similar activities last year, have not had bandages removed.

Who, pray, shall lock lock up this crowd for us?

The NTV recap has no correlation with the main NSE moves of the day, if that's the one you have in mind. And are the KTN anchors who don't own shares the ones who delight in teh down market?

JK-come come.

I expected to read the denunciation of the grand coalition elsewhere but here!

We are in a mess largely of our own making.

NSE reporting in Kenya is some way behind. Still even here in the UK, you get guys losing when things get technical. Most just shout, going down! without understanding
