Traffic snarl-up in Nairobi [Elvis Ogina]

Kenya is currently going through stormy waters. Our ship is being buffeted by winds from all corners. Covid-19 has haemorrhaged hundreds of thousands of jobs, which has in turn depressed the economy. Schools have been shut for most of the year. Our hospitals continue to strain under the weight of understaffing, low wages for medical practitioners and inadequate medical equipment.

Political headwinds continue to gather ominously with some politicians spewing venom instead of solutions.
