Kenyans, brace for a bumpy economic journey in the run-up to 2027 elections

With each passing week, it is easy to surmise that the current Ruto administration, now broad-based government (BBG), floats around in a parallel universe of its own where every major “happening” seems to be a distraction from a different “happening” which is itself a diversion from yet another “happening”. 

Long forgotten is that this administration — as Kenya Kwanza — assumed office on the back of “The Plan”; specifically the ambitious Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (Beta).  In our current “twilight zone,” the regime is only half-way through its term, but the public lens is already trained on 2027 General Election.
