According to Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, the economy has stabilized and the price of UNGA has dropped from Ksh 250 to Ksh 100.
The DP lauded the efforts made by President William Ruto for stabilizing the dollar and managing debt.
Microeconomics of the President has yielded fruits in managing the situation in the country, according to the deputy president, Prof. Kithure Kindiki.
Kindiki added that the inflation has come down to 2.7%, the lowest in the last 17 years.
The DP said, “Bei ya Vyakula Muhimu kama Unga imeshuka. Ulikuwa unanunua unga kwa paketi moja kwa Ksh250, lakini kupitia juhudi ya wale wanasaidia raisi, imetoka kutoka Ksh250 mpaka Ksh100.”
“The inflation has come down for the first time; it is at 2.7 percent, the lowest in 17 years. The President has better advisors, and his efforts in stabilizing the country are yielding fruits.”
Kenyans online were compelled to respond to his statements.
“Kenyans don’t have money to buy unga at 50 bob. The KK government has robbed them of their hard-earned money in the name of housing levy 1.5%, SHIF at 2.75%, NSSF at 6%, VAT 16%, income tax at 30%, and others at 2%, totaling 59%. How do you want them to afford Unga at 50??” Geoffrey Mutua said.
“There are so many issues to be addressed, but you keep on telling us, Be ya unga ime shuka. Which is always a problem created by politicians. You realize “bei ya unga” always goes up before elections only to come down after elections?” another one responded on X.
“A whole government gauging itself on the price of unga is a big, big shame. They should be telling us how many roads and schools they’ve built.”
