ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi has decried the desperate levels reached by Kenyans in an effort to survive in an economy where many are struggling to put food on their table.
Mudavadi is now urging professional bodies in the country to intervene in key policy areas that concern the Kenyan economy.
Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi says professional bodies have a role to play in ensuring that Kenya’s economy improves for the better.
Mudavadi says government programs such as afforestation are now under threat after treasury introduced taxes on basic household items.
“As we talk about the economy, your voices and interventions in key areas where you can influence policy should not be allowed to pass. You could come in and help,” said Mudavadi.
