With soaring inflation, Kenyans deserve more than 'sweet' words

It is difficult to think that we are still in 2022. Wasn't the General Election held a lifetime ago, or is it not over yet? As the end of the year fast approaches, a visitor from Mars would be forgiven for wondering if Kenya is now a parallel universe in which, on the one hand, something is happening, or, on the other, nothing has started. Kenya at the end of 2022 feels unusually unsettled.

On one side, the ruling Kenya Kwanza administration looks like it's still getting to grips with its national leadership task, even though further inquiry suggests that, behind the scenes, they might be getting their ducks in a row on everything from politics to the economy.

On the other, the Azimio side seems increasingly hesitant and unsure of its oversight role in a US presidential-style majority-minority political setting that doesn't quite fit the traditions of a parliamentary opposition.
