If uhuru was to attempt to stop hustler revolution - Srilanka will likely happen

In short, it is not organic farming that messed them,  but misplaning. I think there is a big difference here.

Yes, the president did a stupid thing by banning all chemical fertilizers which farmers had used for years and forced them into organic farming which they knew nothing about. This led to food shortages because the farmers stopped planting and chemical fertilizers had been subsidized for years. So, without the subsidies and no knowledge of organic farming, what did the president expect?

Sri Lanka seems to have similarities to Kenya: High Chinese Debt; High inflation (there's food on the shelf unlike venezuela, but people can't afford it) fuel shortages because with a shortage of dollars they can't buy oil or gas (CBK is denying there is a shortage of dollars in kenya) but with economics, the truth always comes out because the math doesn't align.

Exactly  but hey don't let inconvenient facts get in the way of cheap politicking.

If you were to try organic farming in the dead soils of Uasin Gishu, maize yields would similarly plummet. You have to revive the soil biology first.

In case of a similar situation in Kenya like now in Sri Lanka, will Weston Hotel be spared?

Yes, most Kenyans from age 0 to 99 fear mighty Kalenjins. You touch Weston even cattle rustlers in Taiaty and Pokot will abandon their trade and come straight to put pullets, arrows and spears in people's buttocks!

Most Kenyans do not even know Kalejins. The ones they know are usually not the brightest policemen in town. Anyway, keep on dreaming that most Kenyans fear Kalejin wrath. You will be surprised how apart from those Mt Kenya folks in RV the rest of Kenya does not even bother one second thinking of RV warriors.

They quietly do. Luos in Sondu, for example tells their kids about warrior stories to keep them quiet, scared, and sleep!

If Ruto had violence blood like Ojinga, Kenya would be burning right now. Ruto runs to God, Handwork, and church instead, when things get tough. Whoever wins the next election must prepare for hard economic times for the first or second year. Uhuru diverted all the borrowed to BBI, politics, project Ojinga, and Kenyatta empire. The 200 Billion used for Kisumu and environs after handcheck, 25 billion went to development while a whooping 175B went to pockets of people...

The real reason why organic farming was forced onto the farmers in Sri Lanka.
A ban on imported fertiliser, to save dol lars, was dressed up as a boost to organic farming—but had to be scrapped when crop yields plunged, threatening a further de cline in exports.

In April 2021, Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa announced a ban on the import of agrochemicals. The move was meant to save Sri Lanka around $300 – $400 million in foreign exchange, which the country spends each year importing agrochemicals.

In order to reduce its foreign exchange outlays last year, the Sri Lankan government took on preventive measures to ban the import of essential goods, including food items.

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, Sri Lanka’s economy has plummeted because one of the country’s most important sources of income, tourism, has been completely shattered. This has led to an unprecedented drop in the country’s foreign exchange reserves, from over $7.5 billion in 2019 to merely $2.8 billion in July 2021. The government’s colossal payments to buy the foreign exchange needed to import essential goods has sunk the Sri Lankan rupee. This foreign exchange crisis has been so bad that in 2020, in a bid to save foreign exchange, the government banned the import of vehicles, edible oils, and turmeric, an essential spice in local cooking.

Pundit's problem is he does no research before posting on this forum.

As for now Sri Lanka has $50 million on foreign reserves. So any $ that can be saved would be a big relief for the governement.

How now - we talked about this issues - an year or two ago?
Nya wa Kisumo was supporting organic farming.
Sri Lanka was okay then.

Stick to RV politics. You have no idea what organic farming is at all. Organic farming is a process and not just farming without agrochemicals. If you beleive local farmers in Sri Lanka can stop using fertilizers today and tomorrow they are doing organic farming, then you live in your own world.

Sri Lanka's current problems have nothig to do with organic farming.
