    "content": "Kshs60,000. This is more profitable because Kenyans would want to produce for themselves. They are not used to handouts. Those are the kind of areas that we have missed especially for us politicians. We have this tendency of promising roads and water and other kind of infrastructure to the extent the Government has ended up borrowing all the money from the banks. There is even no money for private sector investment which would draw these kinds of economic activities. If Isaac Mwaura, for example, has an idea, he would go to a bank then borrow so that the idea becomes marketable earning himself, his family and the people he will employ an income. It is a paradigm shift and we in the “Hustler Nation” do promise that we will take a third of our development budget towards economic regeneration. That is what we need to do so that you put money where people are producing. That is better that than waiting for handouts in terms of bursaries and roads built at inflated costs. They are crowding out any form of investment while reallocating wealth to the most privileged people who can make government decisions in lofty air-conditioned offices."
