Eric Omondi was spotted pushing a cart with a sign that read “State House Express CV’s” while donning his signature black vest. This move comes after a series of protests by the Azimio La Umoja coalition, which led to blame games and the invasion of private property. The ODM Party Chairman, Hon. Raila Odinga, has announced that the demonstrations will be held twice a week until the government meets their demands. Meanwhile, Eric Omondi plans to visit State House to seek an audience with President Ruto on the same matter.
Despite Kenya’s significant economic growth in recent years, the high cost of living remains a significant challenge for many citizens. Several factors contribute to this, including high inflation rates, increased taxes on essential goods and services such as fuel, and corruption, which inflates the cost of contracts and infrastructure projects.
According to Eric Omondi and other politicians, the government must address corruption, reduce taxes on essential goods and services, and support small businesses to create more opportunities for citizens to improve their standard of living. Additionally, the Hustler Fund aims to bridge the gap by providing credit access to individuals and businesses.
The issue of high living standards is a global challenge facing many countries and governments. However, with effective policies and measures, it is possible to mitigate the effects and improve the quality of life for citizens.
