THE REAL GOVERNMENT IS IN OPPOSITION: Dear Mr. President, REF: WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO WRITE HOME ABOUT? Truth be told,our GDP is collapsing at an alarming rate.The Jubilee government apart from being a failure from the Onset after March 4th has undoubtedly failed to provide formidable economic solutions . We not only spend more than we generate,we simply overdo it. In my opinion, deriving at friendly tax rates which is a recognition that the quality of growth generated by the private sector is better than what public sector outlays might deliver is a bitter pill to swallow by the Uhuruto led government. The illusion that payments to certain interest groups yield optimal economic growth was punctured long ago.When plunder has become a way of life for a group of men especially the haves living together in a society,they create themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. Uhuru must stop thinking that he can use this financial crisis as a pretext to promulgate unrealistic and unrelated social reforms. Utopia is not an alternative to revolution . Let him remember that the best kind of economic recovery comes when producers want to produce,not when consumers want to shop. So stop going around to shop for baseless China investments . An increase in the capital- gains tax rate has slowed revenue from the levy for a long time.I propose what I term as ‘a huge tax windfall for millionaires like Uhuru Kenyatta and two bits for the common mwananchi.In classical economies the proper role of governments is to permit and protect an environment that allows industrious people to thrive and keep a aprepondent share of the rewards of their labour for purposes of their own choice. They typically wish to safely reinvest part of those earnings in projects that contribute not only to their own prosperity but also that of the broader economy.The totalitarian enactment of economic policies simply dictates against this approach. As a result mothers of all strikes demonstrations,embezzlement of public funds will be dorminant ,perfect recipe for a failing state such as ours. A sound national currency and tax policies devoted exclusively to raising revenues for necessary government functions,national security being most important is what you should have first thought of instead of making a personalcourt case a national issue. How much public money have you spent on this case? Only limited use of government regulatory power,mainly to preserve order and lucidity in a capitalist system where individuals have freedom to make economic choices and responsibility for accepting the consequences of those choices. Supply-side economics was a rebellion against the neo-Keynesianism notions promoted by socialists ,corporatists, and statists who claim government can successfully micromanage economic growth and development by exercising its police powers to regulate and by manipulating the currency and the tax system. It was basically a battle pitting defenders of private initiative against advocates of government occupation of the ‘commanding heights of the economy,a Marxist dream that became a nightmare in Cuba today. Ask your Chinese friends Mr. president,they experimented it.I just pity the next president after 2017,you will hand over a more tattered Kenya to him.Propaganda of politics cannot apply in all aspects of leadership.The likes of Miguna Miguna who only show up to massage your ego and lie to you when elections are around cannot even craft a way out of this. Leadership surely comes from God. More the reason why God allowed King saul take charge of Israelites,to teach them a fundamental lesson.Its uncouth to jubilate about fairytale laptops and fairytale railways yet what we really need is achievable progress. King David is just but coming faster than we anticipated.The have nots as expected always have their say while the haves have their way.This time its different. The haves nots have the wounded haves on their side.I pray for you every day because of the foolish mistakes you make. Within your conscience lies the truth no one wants to openly admit.The fact that the root cause of this problems we are having is because the ideal government is in opposition while the ideal opposition is in government. A mistake we ought to correct come 2017.
