The coronavirus pandemic has devastated lives and economies globally. And since the outbreak was reported in Kenya in March, over 87,249 positive case have been recorded with 1,506 fatalities as of yesterday. The coronavirus has seen dozens of companies and businesses shut down and nearly 2 million Kenyans pushed deeper into poverty.
The economy has taken a beating and tough times lay ahead for all Kenyans as we head into the festive period and then welcome the New Year. The economic projections do not look inspiring especially now that the tax relief given a few months ago will be taken away from January next year.
