Let’s spread message of hope for better days as we celebrate Easter

Clouds seem to be gathering over the country, but they are not bringing good tidings. They are dark clouds of misery over the head of every Kenyan for whom life seems to have turned for the worse. The economic outlook is bleak. Farmers are holding their breath every day hoping that each dawn will bring with it the much waited for long rains. The Meteorological Department has already said the rains will not be sufficient.

The cost of food is on a sharp rise. Power and fuel costs are burning holes in the pockets of the few who can still afford the two basic commodities. Indeed, they are increasingly looking like luxuries. The Jubilee administration appears fixated on a magic trick only they find funny. Pulling mundane taxes every now and then from their bags of tricks with little regard to the already burdened citizens.
