Mwananchi ajitolee, aamke 5am, akae kwa jam mpaka afike job 7:30am. Then apige 8-5 yake. Alipe 30% tax. Alafu bado aswim akienda home while fighting for his life.
Aren't we angry enough Kenyans?
In the few years that I been paying my own bills, I have made some observation through experience: poverty punishes you heavily. This happens in three main ways.
1. You eat the same ugali as someone in a higher tax bracket, but the cost takes up a much larger portion of your income compared to the richer person. Same product, same cost, different impact.
2. You buy one 2kg packet of ugali, while someone with a higher income can afford a bale (12 × 2kg) from a wholesale shop. Or they buy a 13kg LPG cylinder at once, while you buy 6kg or the daily Koko refills. This is called the kadogo economy, and it is very expensive. Or you buy a car on loan, while the rich can buy in cash or access lower interest rates. This makes their cost per unit lower, while yours is higher. This is poverty charging you interest.
3. Na pia usisahau mental cost. If you are in a lower tax bracket, you spend a lot of time thinking about small things like food, school fees or rent. At higher income levels, these things require little thought or sacrifice. That constant worrying is a cost on its own.
