Kenya is a
nation of peasants and poor folk whose true potential has been wasted by
dynastic governments, where corruption as an income opportunity is criminalized
among the poor but allowed for the wealthy. Our Kenya Kwanza government will
open the floodgates of corruption to all hustlers.
The reality of
Kenya today is that of an increasing wealth divide with the rich growing richer
and the poor growing poorer, a scenario of a few dynastic powers earning
through corruption while the poor are prohibited. With our slogan “kazi ni
kazi”, we believe that tenderpreneuring, profiteering, tax evasion, brokerage,
among other hustles should be recognized. Every hustle matters, including those
which the dynastic powers today term as “illegal”.
The trickle down
economic model of previous administrations has failed to realize the true
economic potential of Kenya. That is why the Kenya Kwanza Alliance has chosen
to instead work on and implement the bottom-up economic approach to jump start
the economy and see more opportunities reach the hustlers. We will redistribute
eating opportunities to all economic classes in this country. Instead of eating
happening from top to bottom, we will invert the pyramid and ensure eating
opportunities are accessed from the bottom-up.
The bottom-up
economic model will focus on opening up tenders to mama mboga and watu wa
bodaboda in four key areas of national development namely
(i) Universal
Health Care,
(ii)
Manufacturing,
(iii) Food
Security and
(iv) Affordable
Housing.
Opening up deal-making
to hustlers in these critical sectors and their adjacent fields such as
innovation, finance and banking and education will enable the hustler nation to
realize its full potential and earn a good living from the government, the same
way dynastic powers have been doing since independence. It is integral to our
philosophy as Hustler Nation that all Kenyans should have access to the eating
opportunities the dynastic regimes have always enjoyed with their families and
friends.
