Kenyans, if you are a chicken farmer, especially for broilers and layers, you should worry VERY MUCH about the STIP agreement between Kenya and the USA, which will allow the import of poultry products to Kenya.
Yes, the USA exports poultry products to over 150 countries, and Angola is their largest market in Africa. So, what happens if that clause in the agreement is actualized?
The National Chicken Council's might will reign in Kenya, and due to its capacity, it will be able to supply all eateries and supermarkets in Kenya. "The National Chicken Council supports a policy of working toward free and fair trade agreements with foreign countries, marketplaces free of protectionism and working against artificial trade barriers."
This policy allows them to control big markets in Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Taiwan, Angola, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guatemala, Colombia and the Philippines. I am not sure whether the GoK mandarins in the Kenyan Government and those involved in the negotiations on the Kenyan side understand how much Kenyan farmers have to lose when this policy comes into effect.
This policy will not only affect Kenyans, it is going to affect Ugandans who depend on the Kenyan market. Our neighbors are loosing big in this! Americans never do business in a loss-making environment, and Kenyans will pay for the extremely high freight charges and their production costs!
The Kenyan government is going to destroy and decimate poultry farmers in Kenya, and it is not funny or interesting. The USA lobby is powerful, probably more powerful than a whole government, ask the South Africans, ask the Mexicans, ask all the over 150 countries it exports poultry and poultry products to; WE ARE IN DEEP SHIT!

Another one I liked, the link between affordable housing and WEF 15 minute cities agenda
While kenyans are arguing Raila this, Uhuru that, Ruto this the country is slowly being sold, and people won't realize until it's too late like the case of the boiling frog.
These are the important discussions that need to be happening.
If Kenyan youth were smart they would reject all these old leaders that are legacy of previous corrupt regimes and elect younger educated leaders who are able to comprehend issues of the 21st century
