The Kenyan economy is taking a hit – President Uhuru concerned

President Uhuru Kenyatta has raised concern over the current political stalemate in the country saying it is affecting the economy.

“Things are slowing down. The economy is starting to take a hit. There is anxiety and uncertainty in the air. We are all feeling it, whether you are from the north, south, east or west of the country. The Kenyan economy is one economy. When Kenya slows down, it slows down for everyone,” said President Uhuru in a penned letter to the Kenyan media.

Uhuru says, the only way out is ‘to get back to work’ and by people voting on the scheduled repeat presidential elections on Oct 26.

“To do this, we need to exercise our democratic right without fear. Because when you vote, peace wins. When you vote progress wins. When you vote, Kenya wins.”
