@abuyamasta@Osama_otero I don’t agree, just passing all costs to consumers won’t work. If wages stay the same, people will just find cheaper alternatives, like shared transport or other solutions. We need a more balanced approach.
Senior government officials are currently busy trying to bribe some matatu owners to call off the strike. Unfortunately, some may have taken the money and could hold a presser in the next few hours, saying they have accepted the 10 bob reduction in diesel prices for now, and are calling off the strike until Monday to give the government more time to work on other interventions. Lakini hiyo itakuwa tu kipindi ya kupanga watu.
Why use public money to bribe and silence people instead of fixing the problem? When will this administration stop using shortcuts and actually address the issues Kenyans are lamenting about?
@paulinenjoroge Why are they trying to put a band-aid on it when you know very well the wound is too deep and it'll just rip out? Why can't they actually fix the problem?
@gpdkaluma I disagree with the original statement. Fuel prices are global, but telling people to just walk or ride ignores their real hardships. We need real solutions so people can keep earning and supporting their families.
@therealantoh Freedom of speech is vital, but we shouldn't present personal views as universal facts. Not everyone can pay more, and bills shouldn't keep rising while pay stays the same.
