Kenya can have democracy or neocolonial extraction, but not both – because democracy means addressing the demands of the Kenyan people for jobs, healthcare, education, housing, transportation and basic social protections under a fair and equitable fiscal regime, while colonial extraction means the destruction of economic and monetary sovereignty, austerity for the poor, extravagant lifestyles for the elites, corruption, injustice and socioeconomic exclusion under a fiscal regime that accelerates the engines of economic entrapment. One cannot democratize a system that hasn’t been structurally and economically decolonized yet. Despite Kenya’s democratic institutions, transparent elections, independent judiciary, freedom of speech and vibrant civil society spaces, its elected governments systematically undermine the social and economic demands of Kenya’s population – less because those governments wish to ignore the mandate given to them by the electorate, but because they face financial pressures from abroad that force them to prioritize external debt service and the financial needs of creditors and foreign investors. In 2019, Kenya used 19% of its export revenues to service external debt; today that number has jumped up to nearly 50%. When a country uses half of its export revenues to pay interest on its external debt instead of investing in the basic pillars of development and prosperity, it is not surprising to see the kind of revolt that we have seen in Nairobi against the 2024 finance bill. This makes Kenya a classic case of an economy steered from abroad, by colonial design rather than by accident. The fact that Kenya is in a debt trap after decades of following IMF policy prescriptions means that either the IMF is incompetent or it is engaging in intentional economic entrapment. I believe it’s the latter. It is time to end the entrapment and to decolonize the Kenyan economy.

When William Ruto was sworn in as Kenya’s fifth president in September 2022, he used his inauguration speech to demand an end to humanity’s “addiction to fossil fuels” and reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to reach 100% clean energy by 2030. Kenya is not far off this target today.

In 2021, 81% of Kenya’s electricity generation came from the low carbon sources of geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar power. Over half of this low carbon electricity came from geothermal energy, which Kenya has in abundance. So much in fact, that excess geothermal energy is released during the night when electricity demand is low. Installed geothermal capacity in Kenya could be increased by at least eightfold, which could open opportunities for scaling up green manufacturing capacity or exporting excess electricity to neighbouring countries. 

Renewable rollouts have substantially improved energy access. In 2013, around 28% of Kenyans had access to electricity. By 2020, this had risen to over 71%. This was achieved as the population grew by over seven million over the same period, while the rate of urbanisation continued to gather pace. According to the World Bank, barely one million Kenyans had electricity in 1990 [which, back then, was approximately just 5% of the population]. 

Ruto’s words, and Kenya’s actions, are timely due to the backdrop they are made against. Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the vacuum created in global energy markets, European leaders and multinational fossil fuel firms have launched a ‘dash for gas’ across Africa, where a raft of new oil and gas projects, as well as old ones, are being given the green light. At COP27, Ruto kicked back against the dash for gas, stating that “we [Kenya] have taken a position that as a country we are going green and we are well on course.”

Headcanon Time: Kevin’s Family, the Wainauki Family💙🌊💙🌊

Wainauki comes from a few things I thought of, Wai being the Hawaiian word for water, as well as Njoki and Naki(Njoki is Kenyan name that means “precious” or “beautiful” while Naki is a term meaning “pure” or “without”

-The family is the third biggest when it comes to influence, with Shiba being the first and the Watanabe being in second.

-Like the other families, they deal in exports and other business that has been going on for centuries. Such as aquatic studies, port trades and even swimming affairs worldwide.

-Despite claims of the Shiba Clan uniting the allying the other families together against the nighlok, the Wainauki family was the first to discover their Symbol Power give or take 800 to 1200 years before due to their understanding of nature and water.

-Members of the family can breathe underwater for longer periods and even have slicker skin near their legs to swim faster, this is due to their adept training with the ocean but also has gandered the legends of mermaids being within the family.

-Kevin himself is the oldest of five other siblings. He has two brothers and three sisters with two of the sisters being twins. The youngest child, being a sister, is said to be a visionary who connects to water with her cognitive abilities. (Name wise Brother One-Kain, Brother Two-Caspian, Twin Sister One-Hali, Twin Sister Two-Ria, Youngest Sibling/Sister-Amaya)

-He also has three cousins who annoy him, which is why he tends to stay near the team to get his own privacy

-Fashion-wise, the family has a lot of blue and related colors within their wardrobe, some tend to wear cream white with their outfits while others have cool aquatic-style clothes with gill-like features and patterns. Another staple in their fashion is the usage of sea shells and pearls that are mainly placed in their hair or as jewelry.

-The Wainauki house is set into a few homes but there are three main buildings around the globe, the first said to be in the Caribbean, the second being in a seaside city within West Africa, and the main house said to be an underwater kingdom like city that can travel throughout the ocean.

-Kevin’s relationship with the Shiba Clan is mixed due to some individuals in his family not aligning with them while others tend to look up to them due to the centuries-old alliance. He questions their aid due to their elements being opposites but also has a soft spot for Jayden mainly because he may have picked up the idea that Jayden might’ve had Lauren as a sibling and with him having to take all the responsibility as family representative…years ago one fateful night, Kevin lost his mother and nearly lost his siblings when he forgot to watch a gap to the Netherworld forming in one of their houses and a banshee-like nighlok attacked the family. He took charge and killed it but has a lot of resentment for letting his mind slip, sometimes he feels his father blaming him for what occurred and it’s just best for Kevin to not allow any more tragedy to befall the people around him.

-He will shoot his hydro bow at any siblings and cousins that try to imply he has a thing for Mike or Jayden, of course, they’re too fast to hit but Kevin hates the implication(despite finding himself staring at Mike from time to time…).

-Like the Shiba Clan, the other families have a set of ultimate techniques. The Wainauki family has three, the first being based on Ryūgū-jō(The sea palace of the water dragon god Ryujin), the second said to be a song that calls upon the “wrath” of all mermaids and nereids, and the third being unknown as half of the script for the symbol power has been lost over 700 years but it was said to be powerful enough to cast an entire island or country into the ocean.

UGANDAN SISTER CHIDES PRO-ISRAEL AFRICANS This Ugandan sister has a message for Africans supporting Israel as it continues what has been called a genocide in Palestine. African Stream’s position is Israel is not Africa’s friend. For decades, the Zionist state has supported regressive movements on the continent and is, overall, a destabilising force. The affinity Africans have for Israel is rooted in a warped version of the beautiful religion of Christianity, as many wrongly conflate modern Israel with the Biblical one. Meanwhile, modern Israel is involved in looting Congo’s minerals, training repressive regimes and interfering in African disputes, such as recognising Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in contravention of the African Union’s position. In addition to exporting tear gas used on Kenyan protesters, Israeli companies are now in on green colonialism. That is a term used to describe how colonial powers use environmental concerns to keep a grip on poorer states. The Israeli embassy in Kenya has partnered with the office of the First Lady to create a carbon credit mine. For many in Africa, this appears to justify displacing local communities, so multinational companies can keep polluting. Plus, in Israel, widespread anti-African racism has been used to justify deportations of refugees and sterilisations of Ethiopian Jews. Since 7 October, Israel has killed more than 18,400 people in Gaza, an enclave with half its population being children. So, we pose a question to some of our African Christian brethren who support Israel: What part of Israeli actions in Palestine are in line with Biblical teachings? #Africans #Uganda #Genocide #Palestine #Israel #Kenya #Colonialism #ProPalestine

[...] Del Monte’s 80 sq km plantation sits on the border of Murang’a and Kiambu counties, about 40 kilometres northeast of Nairobi, in a landscape marked with lush green vegetation and rich red soil. The area is also blighted by poverty, unemployment and drug use. This deprivation is despite the money generated by Del Monte, whose pineapple exports earned the country’s economy more than $100m in foreign exchange in 2018. This financial firepower has provided the company with political clout. Among local villagers, the vast farm is often described as kwa guuka, meaning “our grandfather’s”. It is a bitter reference to the fact that many families were forcefully evicted from the land when it was first acquired by the company’s predecessor several decades ago.

The farm is the single largest exporter of Kenyan produce to the world. This huge global operation means that, although countless pineapples are grown in the area every year, virtually the only ones sold locally are those that have been stolen from the farm. “The boys around don't have anything much to do, and they need money for their survival. So the easiest way is to go and raid the farm, get the pineapples and sell to the public,” says Joel. “Mostly it's driven by peer pressure and poverty.” These conditions stand in stark contrast with the lifestyle enjoyed by the 237 guards employed by Del Monte at the farm, who have fully serviced schools, hospitals and sports grounds on company premises.

Oh! There It Is!

Of Course The MSM Like Google Maps & Wikipedia Don't Show It! Just In Case This Get's Taken Down Here's The Whole Article!

The existence or non-existence of a place called “Hawaii, Kenya” is an interesting geographic question that many people may have wondered about before.

At first glance, it may seem unlikely that such a place exists, since Hawaii and Kenya are separated by thousands of miles of ocean. However, a deeper dive reveals that there is in fact a locale in Kenya with the unusual name of “Hawaii”. Keep reading to learn all about this uniquely named village in the Kenyan countryside.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick answer: There is indeed a small village called Hawaii located in Kenya’s Rift Valley province. It was given this name due to its physical resemblance to the Hawaiian islands.

The Origins of Hawaii, Kenya How the Village Got Its Name The name “Hawaii” may bring to mind images of beautiful beaches and tropical paradise, but did you know that there is also a village named Hawaii in Kenya? The origins of the name can be traced back to the early colonial era when British settlers arrived in the area.

The village was named after the Hawaiian Islands, which were gaining popularity at the time due to their exotic appeal.

The settlers were inspired by the natural beauty and cultural richness of Hawaii, and they wanted to bring a touch of that enchantment to their new home in Kenya. Thus, the village of Hawaii was born.

Strategic Recommendations for Agribusiness Firms and Cooperatives in Developing Countries: Unlocking Value through Crop Transformation and Export Success 

Agricultural exports are a cornerstone of economic development in low- and middle-income countries, offering pathways to poverty reduction, job creation, and foreign exchange earnings. However, unlocking this potential requires navigating complex challenges, including stringent international standards, market fragmentation, and underdeveloped infrastructure. For instance, developing countries account for 80% of the global population but only 40% of export values, with the least developed nations contributing just 1% of global agricultural exports. Meanwhile, value-added products like organic goods or specialty crops present untapped opportunities: the global organic market is valued at $17.5 billion, comparable to the coffee industry, yet certification costs and fragmented standards often hinder smallholders. 

This article synthesizes actionable strategies for agribusinesses and cooperatives, drawing on successful case studies from Chile, Ethiopia, Pakistan, and others. By integrating lessons on technology adoption, value chain collaboration, and market readiness, firms can overcome barriers and capitalize on global demand. 

Key Recommendations with Real-World Export Experiences 

1. Invest in Adaptive Technologies and Farmer Education 

Example (Chile): Small horticultural producers in Chile increased competitiveness by adopting drip irrigation and crop-improvement practices. Education levels and access to technical programs like PRODESAL, which combined training with socioeconomic support, were critical drivers of adoption. Farmers with higher education were 30% more likely to implement advanced technologies, boosting yields and market access. 

Lesson: Pair scalable technologies (e.g., mobile-based disease detection tools) with farmer education programs to ensure sustained adoption. 

2. Leverage Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) for Market Access 

Example (Pakistan): The USAID Pakistan Regional Economic Integration Activity (PREIA) streamlined trade processes by launching the Pakistan Single Window, reducing customs clearance time by 50% and digitizing 91% of payments. This initiative aligned local regulations with international standards, enabling exporters to meet sanitary requirements for perishable goods. 

Lesson: Advocate for PPPs to address macro-level barriers (e.g., certification bottlenecks, infrastructure gaps) and align products with global standards. 

3. Target Niche Markets with Certified and Branded Products 

Example (Ethiopia): Ethiopian coffee farmers faced stagnant growth in washed coffee exports despite international premiums. Constraints included lower labor productivity for wet mill processing and farmers’ reliance on dried cherries as a savings instrument due to negative real deposit rates. Smaller, "impatient" farmers adopted washing methods, but systemic barriers limited scalability. 

Example (Kenya): The Kenyan Plant Health Inspectorate improved compliance with EU organic standards, enabling access to premium markets. Similarly, fair trade certifications (e.g., Max Havelaar Switzerland) have opened channels for ethically sourced products. 

Lesson: Prioritize certifications (e.g., Fair Trade, organic) and branding to differentiate products. Address adoption barriers through financial incentives and savings alternatives. 

4. Build Regional Export Networks Before Scaling Globally 

Example (Georgia): The USAID INVEST program focused on regional exports to Europe, preparing 40 Georgian companies for international trade. By partnering with Enterprise Georgia, the initiative created a $5 million deal pipeline, emphasizing indirect exports (e.g., SMEs supplying anchor firms). 

Example (Vietnam): As an "Asian Tiger," Vietnam prioritized regional markets before expanding globally, reducing logistical risks and building competitive resilience. 

Lesson: Start with geographically closer or culturally familiar markets to build capacity and mitigate risks. 

5. Embed Circular Economy Practices to Enhance Sustainability 

Example (India): Fish waste recycling initiatives transformed by-products into leather and biofertilizers, reducing waste and diversifying revenue streams. 

Example (Sub-Saharan Africa): Mobile-based payment systems and blockchain tools improved supply chain transparency, reducing post-harvest losses by 15%. 

Lesson: Integrate circular models (e.g., agro-waste upcycling) to meet sustainability demands and access premium markets. 

Conclusion 

Agribusinesses in developing countries can thrive in global markets by adopting context-specific strategies that balance innovation with inclusiveness. Success stories from Chile’s PRODESAL program to Pakistan’s Single Window system demonstrate that overcoming export barriers requires a blend of technology, collaboration, and market intelligence.

Key priorities include: 

1. Farmer-centric education to bridge technology gaps. 

2. Strategic PPPs to align policies with global standards. 

3. Niche market targeting through certifications and branding. 

4. Regional market prioritization to build scalable export pipelines. 

5. Sustainability integration to future-proof value chains. 

By learning from these experiences, firms can transform challenges into opportunities—ensuring that value addition benefits both producers and global consumers. As Ethiopia’s coffee sector illustrates, even high-potential industries require systemic reforms (e.g., financial inclusion) to fully capitalize on global demand. The path to export success lies not in isolated interventions but in holistic, adaptive strategies that empower farmers, streamline trade, and elevate quality. 

Footnote 

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been a cornerstone of agricultural transformation in developing nations, driving innovations such as the Green Revolution, which tripled staple crop yields, and supporting land tenure reforms that empowered smallholder farmers to invest in sustainable practices. Through programs like Feed the Future, USAID fostered climate-resilient farming, strengthened value chains, and expanded access to global markets—evidenced by Egypt’s horticultural export growth from $150 million to $1 billion annually under its technical and policy guidance. Collaborative initiatives, including the $1.4 billion investment in CGIAR research partnerships, lifted food production in developing countries by 7–8%. 

Regrettably, the Trump administration’s 2025 shutdown of USAID has jeopardized these gains. Critical programs—such as Nigeria’s $2.3 million malaria tablet procurement and South Africa’s PEPFAR-funded HIV/AIDS response, which covered 20% of the nation’s treatment costs—face abrupt termination. The dissolution of agricultural projects, including Kenya’s dairy and horticulture value chains, underscores the void left by USAID’s absence. This decision not only halts decades of progress but also undermines global food security and the livelihoods of millions reliant on USAID’s technical, financial, and institutional support. 

The agency’s legacy remains a testament to the power of sustained, collaborative development, a model now at risk without its guiding hand.

Kenyan tea pickers are destroying machines brought in to replace them during violent protests that highlight the challenge faced by low-skilled workers as more agribusiness companies rely on automation to cut costs. At least 10 tea-plucking machines have been torched in multiple flashpoints in the past year, according to local media reports. Recent demonstrations have left one protester dead and several injured, including 23 police officers and farm workers. The Kenya Tea Growers Association (KTGA) estimated the cost of damaged machinery at $1.2 million (170 million Kenyan shillings) after nine machines belonging to Ekaterra, makers of the top-selling tea brand Lipton, were destroyed in May. In March, a local government taskforce recommended that tea companies in Kericho, the country’s largest tea-growing town, adopt a new 60:40 ratio of mechanized tea harvesting to hand-plucking. The taskforce also wants legislation passed to limit importation of tea harvesting machines. Nicholas Kirui, a member of the taskforce and former CEO of KTGA, told Semafor Africa 30,000 jobs had been lost to mechanization in Kericho county alone over the past decade. "We did public participation in all the wards and with all the different groups, and the overwhelming sentiment we were hearing was that the machines should go," Kirui said. In 2021, Kenya exported tea worth $1.2 billion, making it the third-largest tea exporter globally, behind China and Sri Lanka. Multinationals including Browns Investments, George Williamson and Ekaterra — which was sold by Unilever to a private equity firm in July 2022 —  plant on an estimated 200,000 acres in Kericho and have all adopted mechanized harvesting. Some machines can reportedly replace 100 workers. Ekaterra's corporate affairs director in Kenya, Sammy Kirui, told Semafor Africa that mechanization was “critical” to the company’s operations and the global competitiveness of Kenyan tea. As the government taskforce established, one machine can bring the cost of harvesting tea down to 3 cents (4 Kenyan shillings) per kilogram from 11 cents (15.32 shillings) per kilogram with hand-plucking. Analysts partly attribute Kenya's unemployment rate — the highest in East Africa — to automation in industries, including banking and insurance. Some 13.9% of working age Kenyans (over 16) were out of work or long term unemployed in the final quarter of 2022.

HOW THE IMF KEEPS AFRICANS POOR

Financial rights activist Alex Gladstein dissects the IMF’s African operations in this video. Drawing on the case of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), he reveals a pattern of the IMF appointing its own officials to oversee African treasuries, fostering export-led economies, devaluing local currencies and striking deals with dictators.

This is the same playbook allegedly at work in Kenya. Protesters accuse the government of destroying the country’s future by selling out to the IMF’s neocolonialist agenda. Kenya’s tech-savvy and well-educated Gen Z is leading the charge against financial imperialism - coming out en masse repeatedly to denounce proposed tax hikes that the IMF is urging President William Ruto to adopt.

Their resistance to the so-called Finance Bill - basically, the country’s draft 2024 budget - has seen it already watered down in parliament. Now, the protests have evolved into a call for the US-leaning Ruto to drastically change direction and curb wasteful spending by the government.

Regardless of political, social, and religious differences, Kenyan citizens have united in rejecting the treasury’s budget. They point the finger at the IMF for the significant tax hikes. The international lender has injected a substantial $3.5 billion in loans into the East African nation, but these funds come with strings attached. Some US Congress members were even in Kenya’s parliament, monitoring progress on the Finance Bill.

Could the determined efforts of Kenya’s Gen Z mark the beginning of the end of their country’s economic exploitation?
