Even as the court suspends the Housing Levy that was supposed to be in force starting this end month, Kenyan have already decided that enough is enough.
A social movement made up of people in the social media space have started a campaign to have Kenyans hit the streets to protest the housing levy, rising cost of living amid tax increase, and above all mismanagement and corruption by the government.
A hashtag on Twitter #KenyansUnitedFront, started by blogger Abraham Mutai, seeks to get the thoughts of wananchi on that.
Suggestions range from boycotting payment of taxes, conducting sit ins, in various places to disrupt government business.
No other time have Kenyans been more united in a course, that has no political party representation than in this idea which is being now mooted.
The anger has been growing over time and it is only a matter of time before moves against the regime are made.The Jubilee regime seem unable to confront the ills of this country, to make maters worse they were joined by opposition and this has left a gap in who keeps the government in check.
The new Kenyans United Front if it succeeds then, it would truly be a movement of the people.
This idea has been well as a good number of Kenyans pledge their support;
No. 2 my brother is the answer… We all saw Algeria then came Sudan. Time has come for #WeNeedToRise
