Where’s the public backlash against soaring cost of food and basic goods?

It is inordinately strange that the cost of living is not the campaign agenda for any of the formations in the upcoming national elections. To the best of my recollections, not a single political leader has come out forcefully to articulate the menace of high cost of basic goods and services ravaging households from within. This is unlike the unga revolution clarion call that had threatened to tear apart the TNA/URP administration, forcing them to act swiftly by allowing duty free maize and capping the price of a 2kg packet of maize floor at Sh90.
