My take: I hope you middle class realize that the roadblocks last night had little to do with the virus and a lot to do with putting you in your place. You guys have the mistaken belief that because you have a 'connection' higher up, you're insulated from govt injustices. 1/

Government housing is a social policy. It does not work in a capitalist government. All it will do is use public money to subsidize private landlords. So this levy isn't about provision of housing. It's about liquidity. Kenya Kwanza needs money. The housing is an excuse. twitter.com/geraldbitok/st…

FYI:

's Agricultural Sector Survey conducted between May 9 and 12 and released last Friday show that prices of major food commodities will remain high in June and will be the main drivers of inflation during the month.

Instead of actually fixing the public health systemic issues, lawmakers now want to make it extremely difficult to access healthcare, because if this bill passes, private hospitals will definitely demand upfront payment before admission.

Electricity costs soar by 67pc in President Ruto's first nine months in office

67 percent inflation on electricity costs alone. Fuel inflation is at 21%, the recent rise in sugar prices has pushed food inflation by 12% in one month. Patriotism starts with us, and we are completing the journey completely and utterly.
