Good morning,
Today marks the end of the first week for the month of December and perhaps a looming good weekend for many employed people who have received their salaries.
We can’t wish you anything short of a happy festive season as we caution you of Njaanuary ahead. And on that note, have you wondered what bedevilled this country Kenya specifically on the current state of affairs?
With the skyrocketing cases of unemployment, the dwindling economy and the ballooning debt, does the future look promising from your end?
Perhaps it is time that David Ndii’s idea of secession to materialise.
The government is not able to meet its day to day operation costs, IMF is pessimistic on the country’s debt management ability, key parastatals have to be merged with some employees laid off, students fees reportedly tripled, no jobs, the Kenyan shilling decreasing every day, the list is endless.
As a patriotic Kenyan, my optimism abandons me. To be told that BBI will solve the aforementioned predicaments is a fat lie.
With reported addition of extra-parliamentary seats, Kenyans will not be able to shoulder the burden.
Lets tone down the political noise in the country, let the referendum debate be shelved. We need to refocus our energy in building our economy because the future isn’t promising.
That aside, here are our top stories today:
