After the Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich finished reading the budget yesterday, the majority of Kenyans were not satisfied with it. Today Kenyans went on the social Media giving out their views. It is really embarrassing that everything the Jubilee government is trying to do is posed for elections now instead for the benefit of the ordinary Kenyan.
According to the CS speech yesterday, the new price of Unga will take effect this week and it will last for four Months. People did not stop criticizing the budget in a negative way. Here are some of the posts of the views people posted.
U can even build railways in air,on oceans, or underground but a country that can’t feed its people is a failed state. #BudgetKE2017— El-Gringo (@davitorreto) March 30, 2017

Jubilee fulfilled promises
2013 “Price of unga will be ksh.50”
2017 – ksh.140
And they say economy is doing well.

The extra Ksh 21.4 billion to us by CS Rotich is not enough to ensure a free & fair election. GoK interference must be minimal#BudgetKE2017— IEBC (@IEBCKenya_1) March 30, 2017
