Monday, February 21, 2022 – With less than 6 months to the August 9th General Elections, politicians seem to be leaving nothing to chance by doing what they must to outdo their opponents, even if it is to lie.
For instance, Deputy President William Ruto and his camp are now blaming ODM Leader Raila Odinga for the harsh economic times even though Baba holds no portfolio in government.
Speaking on Monday, former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama said Raila is to blame for the skyrocketing food prices in the country.
According to Muthama, who is also the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) chairman, the prices of items went through the roof immediately after the former prime minister shook hands with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“The prices of items skyrocketed immediately after handshake to a point where common mwananchi could not subsist.”
“We can’t continue having a country where a small group of people lives in comfort while the majority can’t afford to feed themselves,” Muthama said in a Tweet.
While Muthama is busy blaming Raila for the skyrocketing food prices, economists have different opinions.
They have blamed the lingering pandemic economy, with its supply chain delays and labor shortages as some of the factors driving up costs for transportation, agricultural commodities, packaging which in turn make the prices go up.
