TALK LESS, ACT MORE!

Doanh Chau, Vietnam Gas boss has expressed his dissatisfaction in President William Ruto's talks and administration, terming them as polished speeches with zero execution.

After meeting with President Ruto and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, Chau noted that his hosts were really competent in words but no strategic actions to flesh the words.

“I met with Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and President William Ruto in Nairobi. They spoke with energy about Kenya’s future investment, infrastructure, and public housing. But behind the polished language was a painful truth: there is no serious execution culture."

He further roasted the leaders, accusing them of settling for short-term gratification instead of using the available talents and money to set a long term vision , that would relevantly impact the Kenyan economic environment.

“Kenya’s real problem is not a lack of money or talent. It’s the absence of long-term vision and the dominance of short-term gain. Leaders talk big, but systems don’t move. They wait for outsiders to bring business, rather than build an environment for it,” Chau added.

The Vietnamese mogul continued , highlighting that energy is the corner stone of economic development . In stating this, he noted an unstable power supply with flickering lights ,in Kenya compared to Vietnam's reliable power generation.

“This is not a side issue, it’s the foundation of economic development. No investor will build a factory where the lights flicker every day. Vietnam knew this. It built power generation before free trade zones, and now it’s a global export hub."

He furthered questioning the government's capacity to build an expressway from Nairobi to Mombasa yet it has failed to address the essential utilities of its citizens.

“In Kenya, basic energy supply is unstable. And yet, the government built a fancy expressway from Nairobi to Mombasa without an export industry to support it. Meanwhile, millions live in slums and huts, with no access to reliable utilities,” Chau remarked.

On top of that, he expressed his disappointment in Kenya's unplanned tourism schedules .

“Safari bookings require 90-minute check-ins at park gates, even with reservations. After 9:00 PM, everything closes. There’s nothing for visitors to experience or spend on beyond a Masai market that’s essentially a souvenir stand."

Moreover, he didn't leave out Ruto's affordable housing project terming it as corrupt and unreasonable.
“There are no credible incentives, no serious risk guarantees. In short, no real initiative to make it happen,” the energy president added.
