Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Kenyans are currently calling on their government and president Kenyatta Uhuru to lower food prices in Kenya. (Read More Here).
According to information, food prices have skyrocketed in Kenya, since President Kenyatta Uhuru resumed office. Some prices of food in Kenya: 2kgs Sugar- Ksh. 285,
Cooking oil 5L-Ksh 1350,
Rice a kilo-Ksh. 200, 400 grams of Bread @ Ksh. 60, etc.
Food has become what 80% of the Kenyan population can't afford, hence, leading to the large increase of theft in different districts in Kenya. Children, mothers, fathers and farmers are currently feeling the pains of the high cost of living, which includes: food, house rents and many more.
From the outrage amongst Kenyans, a few of them are calling for a live protest on the streets and roads in different districts in Kenya to make the government meet their demands by lowering food prices in the country.

Good morning Kenyans, even as we advocate for #lowerfoodprice let us remember a presidential candidate in the name of

wants to continue with the current way of doing things/legacy/status quo.

Should we be advocating for lower food prices or tackle the issues facing agriculture in Kenya? #lowerfoodprice #LondonwardNakuru.

When basic commodities are affordable, living standard improves, everyone enjoys being a Kenyan irregardless of the political divide. What happened to this times, why is the government not common my mwananchi, it's time we reconsider as a nation.

The 12th Parliament has failed this country and we must acknowledge that the goonism and bribery is why we are where we are today as a country! Maybe reason enough to send most of these MPs home! #lowerfoodprice.

Kenyans are suffering due to the high cost of living. Instead of focusing on #lowerfoodprice & bringing unity, the president is keen on putting a clown at his seat. It won't happen.

*Root cause of this, is high expenditure by the government which relies heavy on debts.

We have to conduct a Countrywide Protest! Twitter trend isn't enough. we can't be buying sugar 1kg ksh250 and cooking oil 1L at ksh290 bana. This exploitation! Is Kenya even a country?
There is no equality in this country. The poor are starving.
TVET FOR YOUTHS.

Politicians have it in their power to bring food prices down. But doing so will require ending the bias against big commercial farms and genetically modified crops and doing away with damaging subsidies—the giants of populism, bolstered by both illusion and greed.#lowerfoodprice.
