Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has taken on economist and Chair of the Presidential Council of Economic Advisors David Ndii over his recent remarks on Kenya’s economic struggles.
This is after Ndii issued a statement faulting the previous regime for plunging the country into debt and being the cause of the current economic struggles the country is facing.
“When I told you that Jubilee’s debt binge was going to end in premium tears, who did you think was going to shed the tears? When you were posting Prados here calling it a tenderpreneur starter kit how did you think that was going to end? Sit down” Ndii said via his official X account.
But in a response today, Senator Ledama chided Ndii telling him to quit the act and give solutions without dwelling on the former regime’s governance.
He went on to state that Ndii should advise President William Ruto to stop borrowing money from the World Bank and IMF and eliminate taxes on agricultural inputs and machinery.
The vocal senator also advised Ndii to advise Ruto to seek measures such as waving taxes for investors so as to create a conducive working environment for them to return to Kenya.
“David Ndii stop your drama! Give solutions and stop dwelling on the past! Uhuru is not president Now advise your friend William Ruto to stop borrowing money from the World Bank Africa and IMFAfrica and eliminate all taxes on agricultural inputs, machinery and wave taxes for investors to return to Kenya. Investors need incentives, not crocodile tears …” he wrote on his official X account.
