The NASA Resist Team called For The Boycott of some Locals Products and Economic Sabotage |
By now we know that three giants are dying, namely; Safaricom-Kenya's mobile phone and money transfer service giant, Bidco Oil Refineries Limited and Brookside Dairy processing firm-- owned by the first family.
Okay,
Some of you are very happy because you are part of this 'new kid in town', economic sabotage which, if it bears fruits, will bring down Uhuru Kenyatta's government.
But even RAO can make mistakes; he is not that saintly you know!
In a few months time, those companies that are now enjoying the reign in the free market will be forced to hike the prices of their products since the demand will be higher than the supply.
Of course, they will try their best to quench the thirst of every Kenyan. However, their production rate is lower than how the Giants do by now. So, the only way to limit shortage of their products in the market is by increasing the prices. By then, only those with money to spare will afford some. I'm not talking about telecommunication services here, I'm basing my argument on simple milk packets on the shelves.
Now let's talk about the owners of the businesses whose products are being boycotted.
I guess by now, the owners of the boycotted products are weighing the market to see how they would survive the economic Tsunami. What do you expect them to do?
First, they will fire a few individuals basing their final decision on the political affiliations.
Secondly, they will just switch the names of their companies into something so unrelated to the big names behind them. Here, they will swim through the boycott like a kid who just invented a new lollipop.
Thirdly, they could just relocate their firms to other countries and continue with their rate of production. And yes! Export the end products to Kenyan Market by another name.
Oops, they would just sit back and do the damage to Kenya's natural resources to compensate for the losses incurred through NASA's boycott.

As a reminder, poachers do not just wake up and start killing our elephants and rhinos for their horns and tusks. They are funded by big business persons-- who know how to evade detection and knows where to sell animal products without raising an alarm.
So, who will be the biggest loser here?
To be realistic, Kenya will lose a lot. However, Kenya is you and me. Meaning, we are in for a big show than how it looks like from the outer sphere.
Continue boycotting the giant's offers but be ready to face economic meltdown. In this case, you will dig ever deeper into your pockets for something that is easily accessible now.
Our elephants and rhinos will feel the wrath an angry person who just lost everything.
Many people will lose their jobs and that automatically invites more trouble in the society.
With little or no income, how do you expect the children to access a learning environment?
And yes! Another Eurobond is being finalized. You know where the money will go? Your guess is as good as mine. So sad that you and I will pay for it later.
Damn! Even RAO can be wrong sometimes.
