Kenya Constitution "Paves the Way for Massive Capital Accumulation"

[Proletarian Ultra]

Last week, Kenyan voters passed a new constitution, promoted heavily by the Obama administration and the internationally-oriented bourgeoisie, but opposed by landlords, the churches, and reactionary groups in the United States.

What does it mean?

Professionals to lead way in the new order

The new constitutional order will pave way for massive capital accumulation, a Cabinet minister has said.

Public Service Minister Dalmas Otieno made the remarks while opening the 14th annual conference of the Institute of Public Certified Secretaries of Kenya (ICPSK) at Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa in Mombasa, yesterday.

"With the new constitutional dispensation, we are entering an era of total respect for human rights and individual freedoms."

Path to growth

Underscoring the need for re-orienting organisations in the new order, Dalmas said it will be incumbent upon professionals to lead the way in the culture of change.

"Key professional bodies like ICPSK will remain instrumental in helping Kenya re-establish itself on the path to growth," he said.

"We are in for a massive attitude change because only attitude and leadership will make a difference."

"Both the public and private sectors will require re-orienting and re-training, leadership development and general behavioural changes to take advantage of the new impetus to growth provided by the now ratified constitution," Dalmas said.

well, if capital accumulates into the hands of the Kenyan national bourgeoisie, theres a good chance of a strong proletariat also developing and thus maybe end the struggle for sovereignty over capital in kenya and start the struggle of labor against owner.

thats just a quick thought though. i dont know much else about the control of productive capital in Africa. im assuming much of it is still owned/controlled by companies founded in imperialist countries.

coke for example.

if this ends in IMF supported growth in capital concentration, most of the productive forces would be useless to Kenyans other than providing meager pay. Nothing would be produced specifically for them, it would mostly just be exported. sure the proletariat would grow, but since the national bourgeoisie would be subjugated to international bourgeoisie whats being produced isnt even for kenyans.

can anyone clarify who will be getting control over all of this potential capital in Kenya?

What country produces things only for it's own people?

What country produces things only for it's own people?
what i was talking about is how the productive forces are used. if it is controlled by some foreign company, whats produced will be primarily for export.
if its controlled locally, the chances of it being produced for consumption in the country are much higher.
most capital is brought into these kinds of countries to escape high wages, labor laws and tariffs. the market for most of the products turned out in these factories is the west.

no country produces things only for its own people. even the most isolationist country exports and imports goods.
