[kictanet] Bitange for President? Xenophobia

Wed Aug 17 07:19:21 EAT 2011

 From what i was taught and is true, an entrepreneur creates an institution and a businessman looks for money. An institution takes care of the several stakeholders in the ecosystem, but a businessman does not have any stakeholder.  He/she can create something today get the money and leave tomorrow. 

- Why are there no Tilapia in Lake Victoria from where I come from?

I am not a marine expert but i have gone out fishing on a number of occasions, i understand the ecosystem.  We have the fishing gear for catching all types of fish in a sustainable manner, when one uses a wrong gear it interferes with the ecosystem.  All fish will be caught young, old and the eggs laid.  In short you will not have Tilapia and all other fish.  The businessman does not care to return to the water the young fish and the eggs.

The businessmen in the lake have introduced a lot of dynamics that needs to be brought out, today it is the fish when that is depleted the businessmen will go for something else.

Dr Ndemo et al:

This is a discussion that needs to continue.  And being part of the media, which this list has of late tended to disparage, I need two clarifications:

- Why are there no Tilapia in Lake Victoria from where I come from?

- Like Dr Ndemo has said in this post, are the Somali businessmen or "investors" silensing local  politicians and what's the eveidence?

Please let the experts in matters fisheries or marine come out and clear the air.

>Harry,
>Examine Robert's logic through his metaphor of how long a cow takes to die out of hunger.  If he meant that we should have seen it
 coming then he is a master of contradiction.

>What is happening around Lake Victoria must be stopped.  If indeed this were businessmen, then they need not spend money to silencing politicians. Infact some politicians speak like Robert.  "Our people are lazy".   This is a grave matter.  We cannot fight poverty by telling our people to compete in a 200 meter race when the vistors are starting at 100 meter spot (Capital unlimited) and we cannot vouch on the sources of their immense financial strength.

>The impact of excess liquidity in the market affects everyone through inflation and inflated property prices as well as rent.  You do not need an economist to tell you this.

>I do not blame Robert's puritanical reaction.  This is typical of us when we fail to look at a global picture.  If it wasn't the fact that the official "campaign" is over I would have spent more time on the economic implications of
 the issue at hand.
