collection of sitting allowances from poor tax payers and nothing is being done to alleviate the situation. At the end of this interrogation we will be back to the same postion if not worse.

Kenya is getting poorer and poorer, yet these so called 'big people' DO NOT realise all these poor decisions they make will bring Kenya down. Investors are already running away. The domino effect has just began.

Petrol, gas, electricity, food, water; I mean seriously how is a developing country supposed to develop without constant electricity?

my goodness, and i though since we have alot of religious people in the country i would have thought more of them would be bussiness men with morals and conscience.These guys would sell their mothers for more money, and are comfortable with kenyans paying ridiculous prices for food, as long as they themselves can afford it.I think the bussinessmen in kenya will satisfied once people actually have to be rich to live a "reasonable" life.

Sugar is not good for your health anyway. It is a New World evil.

Nice pictures at 2:37 where it is not a surprise that we have an artificial shortage of sugar shortly before 2012. The price of sugar at more than KSH 200 per kilogram is too high even by European standards where it costs less than one Euro. The biggest thieves and manipulators of sugar production figures are at Mumias and apology or no apology, Kidero must say why the ratio of cane to processed sugar has drastically dropped and whether this is related to his ambition to be Governor of Nairobi.

but remember sugar in the UK is heavily subsidised by CAP. And they produce beetsugar that is way more expensive than cane sugar from the west indies.
