@MhieNelly If men started demanding a 5-year career projection, financial stability report, and a psychological clearance certificate before the first date, the single market statistics would hit the ceiling. Thank you for speaking for us! 😂

Wilson Sosion says Kenyans cannot keep wearing mitumba forever and that taxes must go up to “promote local factories.”
Sounds patriotic. Sounds logical. But look deeper.
Kenyans buy mitumba because they are surviving, not because they hate local products.
With Ksh1,000, a parent can walk into Gikomba and buy 5–6 clothes for their child.
That same Ksh1,000 can barely buy ONE locally made shirt in some shops.
So when politicians say “tax mitumba to grow local industry,” ask yourself: if they truly wanted to protect local factories, why not lower production costs for local manufacturers first? Why not reduce electricity costs, taxes on raw materials, and rent for factories?
Because that is not the plan.
The plan is simple: squeeze more money from struggling Kenyans.
And here’s the biggest clue: if mitumba was truly “bad” for Kenya, they would BAN it.
But they won’t.
Why? Because banning it stops the taxes they aim to collect.
So instead, they will make it more expensive to harm you but not to stop you from buyingh. The aim is to keep Kenyans buying it anyway, and collect more from your pain. So if 1000 can give you 6 clothes let 1000 give you 4.
This is not about building Kenya.
It’s about taxing poverty.
And poor Kenyans always pay first.
