Due to the pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to raise more revenue, the government has increased taxes on everyday household goods such as cooking gas, fuel, and food

For instance, the price of a liter of cooking oil is now three times more expensive than that of petrol. From 160 shillings to 360 shillings, which is a rise of 125 percent.

Many people have shared their shopping lists, complaining of how the sharp spike in prices of basic food items like milk, bread, sugar, and maize flour in recent months, has made it difficult for them to afford three meals a day.

The issue of price rises has for some time dominated the political sphere in the country and is bound to play a big role in August’s general elections, especially now that every politician is using it as a building block campaign strategy to show how much they care about the citizens.
