The country is going through a rough patch and the economy is heaving with perspiration and almost getting to boiling point. Businesses, both big and small, are clearly experiencing a sense of desperation with some resorting to desperate measures of reductions, layoffs, cutoffs and even shut-downs.
Unfortunately, governments, especially self-respecting ones like the Kenyan government, do not enjoy the luxury of resorting to such measures that are enjoyed by private organisations and corporations.
