We exhibit brain dead syndrome by letting investors like Nigeria's Dangote or the French Lafarge to exploit our natural resources, where Kenyans too have the capacity to benefit 100% from the same. That is economic sabotage by another name.
One of the argument here is that those who supposedly have the capacity do not put down tender documents that meet the minimum requirements. Although there could be arguments that the process could not have been open and fair, there are other mechanisms to resolve that. The issue of foreigners investing in a country, if well managed, will always lead to economic growth. The exploitation of the natural resources in Kenya, if well managed, will lead to economic growth. --James
