Kenyans have beeen complaining kutoka 82?
Ati the cost of living was so high in 82 that Kenyans couldn't afford basic necessities(I like that word with Luo accent)
After that wengi wetu walizaliwa na our(probably whining) parents. Tumeishi na sasa ni sisi tunazaa. We are looking back and complaining that the older days were better. Those days when people were complaining like that. Siku hizi vitu zimekuwa expensive. Haki afadhali kitambo...reminds me of one of my prima GHC teachers telling us that she didn't get it when people complain that money is in short supply. Even in the mzungu days when she was young, she said, people didn't have chums! They were sent many times home coz of fees!!
Halafu unatwambia hizo issues zote zilikuwa ziko. Detention? Section 2a? One party state?
i dont know why people act like they dont know. We have been waiting for things to get better for quite a long time. I think this had been going on since man invented money.
But on another note, do you know how you can check if things are better or worse than before? This is usually the case everywhere , check in the 80's if you had a car, how much would you use to fuel from your salary, pay rent, food and how much would remain for savings.Do the same calculation to day and see things are no better.
I have seen such a comparison hapa majuu when someone says in the 80's i could work 2 hours to buy a litre of petrol and today to buy the same i need to work for 20 minutes . This means things have changed.
Compare that with Kenya.
For those who know, there is the Bigmac (mac donald's) thing used to calculate the economy of a country . They say Macdo does use the economy fundamentals to set the price of a bigmac. sijui kama ni ukweli
