Kenyans are drowning under weight of economic hardships

Once upon a time, older folk rarely skipped an opportunity to go on and on, reminiscing how life used to be better and cheaper during their days, while bemoaning what it has become. 

This is not their preserve anymore. Life is getting scarily pricier and, consequently, tougher by the day. In a span of just a few short weeks, prices of basic commodities nowadays seem to go up significantly. One no longer needs to be from a past generation to whine about the expensive cost of living. The changes are a lot more drastic and palpable nowadays.
