POLITICS OF POVERTY, PRODUCTS BOYCOTT AND THE FAT LIE THAT COMPANIES WILL COLLAPSE

Who else is seeing the ridicule in the Brookside, Kimbo Ilara products Boycott?

OK, I don't know if it is my reasoning that is misleading me or I just don't get it. Mmmh OK let me put it the way I see it- the NASA mass products boycott is ludicrous, absurd for lack of a better word and this is why. 

To me the majority of people boycotting the products are consumers, most of them are at the end of the distribution chain and therefore by boycotting a product they chose to either starve or identify other inferior substitutes. The question here is, who loses?The manufacturer, the Distributor or the consumer? 

A politician when reached for a comment on how people will cop after closing their businesses which are related to the products they are boycotting said that when resisting there is no luxury.

I don't want to get into the luxury part because whatever luxury one gets from buying Kimbo ya Shilingi Kumi compared to the kind of life politicians live is just preposterous. 

Back to my main point, Consumers vs Manufacturers and why the one community boycott won't lead to a collapse of companies. Maybe I'm wrong but to my understanding, Bidco  refineries do Kenya as the market for their products, kuna Bidco Uganda, Bidco Tanzania and for one to imagine that Bidco will collapse just because Consumers have decided not to use their products is laughable. 

To me, a more serious threat to the existence of the company is when those supplying raw materials to them decides to pull-out. For example, Muhoroni Sugar Company will collapse if  Cane farmers decide not to take their Cane to the factory. 

To me the decision to boycott products just because the Companies producing the products or offering services are is linked to Jubilee Government is the worst decision ever, it is not only ridiculous but also ironical.The worst of all this is the dishonest by people who have been entrusted with leadership. 

Because honestly If John took a loan and opened a business say he MPESA or Mike is the main distributor for Molo Milk isn't the boycott meant to make John and Mike poor people?

What will happen to the people Mike and John Employed? 

It is not Jubilee you are punishing, it, not Safaricom you are teaching a lesson. It is Poverty you are advancing to your people.
