In an interview, Shahid Bolsen, founder of Middle Nation and a political commentator on global Muslim affairs, discusses how countries’ leaders and governments are not managing their economies.

Using Kenya as an example due to the recent protests over tax hikes, he stated that President William Ruto is just a face. The actual decision-makers are lenders, like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), who aim to secure the profits of Western multinational corporations, such as Coca-Cola, Barclays Bank, Nestlé, and others.
