The Hunger-Driven Revolution in Kenya

Who will stop the hunger driven revolution which is slowly crimping into Kenya? Today, the prize of one kilogram of sugar in Kenya costs Sh. 41.80 more than one kilogram of sugar in the USA. One kilogram of sugar in USA costs $1.10, an equivalent of Ksh. 88.20, while one kilogram of sugar in Kenya costs Ksh. 130. In USA, one loaf of bread costs 99c. an equivalent of Ksh. 79.35, while a loaf of bread in Kenya costs Ksh. 50. In USA, one kilogram of baking flour costs $1.10, an equivalent of Ksh. 88.20 and one kilogram of baking four in Kenya costs Ksh 59. The prizes of most of the essential commodities in Kenya are almost the same prize as those similar items in USA. The salaries of the legislatures in both countries are almost the same.

The minimum wage in USA is $7/hour, an equivalent of Ksh. 560/hour, while the minimum wage in Kenya is about Ksh. 50/hour an equivalent of $0.625/hour. The economic situation in Kenya is not comparable to that of USA. or to any other nation in the western world. Really Do Kenyans deserve this suffering? What have Kenyans done to warrant this kind of agony? Who will help Kenyans? Who will help the situation and who will stop the hunger revolution?

The prizes of the essential commodities in Kenya, continue to climb up despite the unbearable situation on the ground. The common Kenyan has continued to suffer and die from poverty emanating from corruption perpetuated by their own leaders. Loans and grants have all ended in the pockets of a few Kenyans, hence overburdening the poor Kenyans with the repayment of those looted loans.

Presidential aspirants in Kenya, have set aside billions of Kshs. for campaign while the Kenyans in the IDP camps continue to die day by day and the unemployment continue to rise. An end to the suffering and agony of Kenyans is around the corner and about to end. No one will stop this end, not even the wealthy or the politically experienced.

The HUNGER DRIVEN REVOLUTION will be unstoppable, when the poor hungry Kenyan say, “enough is enough to man made suffering in Kenya“.
