what Neo-colonial homegaurds dont want you to know

The days of British Companies having contracts-for-life with the Kenyan government and the U.K’s economic-colonisation are over.

The Great Hypocrisy is that the West through their Aid conditions have been forcing the government to use a tender system for procurement. But when that is done, and U.K companies that had previously been awarded no-bid contracts-for-life since independence lose out, the U.K High Commissioner goes berserk. Why do you think the U.K still tries to keep strong links with their so called “Commonwealth”. It is precisely because it is that “Common” and “Wealth” meaning that despite all the countries being independent it is the U.K’s national (“common”) interests to keep these countries in their sphere of influence. Obviously not for historical reasons, because as we all know the British were kicked out of most of the countries, but for trade with British Companies which generates “wealth” for the U.K. Ever wonder why we have Wimpy’s and not MacDonalds or Burger King.

Since the fall of the British Empire, the Commonwealth countries have been and still are major trading partners with the U.K. They are main way the British companies have been able to continue growing though trade with these former British colonies. This is not exclusive to the British because the French, Portuguese and others have also done this too. The U.S on there other hand as the New Empire it currently expanding its sphere of influence which has traditionally been South America. Why do you think George Bush attacked Iraq ? It is simply to increase its sphere of influence in the Middle East. It already has Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Egypt and Israel in their pockets so they had to go for the big prize which is Iraq. With U.S companies running the oil wells, providing water, electricity, and telecommunications etc even if the U.S forces leave or are kicked out, it will be impossible for any Iraq government by then to get rid of the already established U.S companies which are providing all essential services.This is exactly what the British did in all its colonies when they were given independence. British companies continued with their no bid contracts-for-life the same as the De la Rue, JS Franklin, Leyland, Land Rover contracts and others in Kenya. The other way U.K has continued its economic-colonisation is the financial system best illustrated by the prominence in Kenya of U.K banks such Barclays and Standard Chartered.

The fact that you will find these banks is almost all former British colonies is not a coincidence, it is just one more way the British can continue milking their former colonies even after they have given them political independence.Aid has been a major was the U.K has kept its sphere of influence .The U.K has for a long time been the largest donor for Aid to Kenya. But before you jump up and sing praise for their generosity, keep in mind that most of the Aid they give us are loans to be paid back sometimes at 2-3 times the initial loan amount. The fact that most loans are paid over 25-30 years just increases the U.K’s ability to maintain their economic-colonisation even despite changes in government. The hypocrisy is that the universal norm as a condition for giving Aid, is that only companies from the donor country get to be given the contracts. Therefore, the money ends back from where it came from and creates employment, raises the GDP etc in the donor country. So in the end all it amounts to is a just another way of giving their own companies business while pretending to be only helping poor countries, which of course have ended up with huge unmanageable debts.
