      like what is "INCLUSIVE" growth? "INCLUDING" WHOM? since IMPERIALISM has been INCLUDED by force of COLONIZATION from the day they COLONIZED the CONTINENT?!....ITURI-(aka "Afrika/aner")
      KENYA was NOT POVERTY stricken, says ALL those who GREW UP in the 70s and 80s exchanging the 20pounds to 20shillings to ONE POUND! it was GROWING FAST in the 70s and 80s till the SAP were IMPOSED by IMPERIALISM.
      KENYA does NOT WANT to be A SINGAPORE or CHINA which are ecnomically OWNED by FOREIGN MONOPOLY comapnies! WHEN these STATE CONTROLLED MONOPOLIES in RUSSIA LEFT RUSSIA basically COLLAPSED! SO KENYA is NOT LOOKING for IMPERIALISTIC "investment" but TO BECOME A MANUFACTURING HUB not a SOCIALIST SOCIAL WELFARE STATE invested by FOREIGNERS!....when this FOREIGN Mpesa LEAVES and returns to VODACOM its mother FINTECH, KENYAN FINTECH will just COLLAPSE!!...so WHAT good is THAT? in the LONG TERM?....

    Great assessment. One thing to note is that Kenya never gave importance to minerals and oil in the past and has risen mostly due to its human resources. But such interest has picked up over the years. In January 2024, the country announced the discovery of significant coltan deposits. The Constitution already has mechanisms to prevent challenges bedeviling other African countries, which include the classification of certain minerals to be of strategic imperative (such as coltan) and, hence, requiring a nationalized mining approach, rather than concessions to foreign companies. A geological survey revealed that the country may have over 900 different types of minerals. Therefore, besides adopting the Singapore model, the country can also leverage minerals to augment the strengths it currently enjoys.

      @@rosam674 It's not just "depend". We do nothing with the minerals we have. Can you imagine, the majority of mineral exploitation going on is artisanal. It is the locals sitting there in the sun and hitting rocks with nyundos, they sell very cheaply, and then the government celebrates that and they say they are improving our lives by supporting artisanal mining. Instead of establishing state mining companies and doing something serious.
      Even heard that people have been selling coltan for years in Embu to business people from Rwanda. Smart Rwandans surveyed the region with their intelligence services, and found out about Coltan in Kenya before the Kenyan government did.
