A greater percentage of Kenya's population lives a hard life in the country while the remaining live a lavish life. "Hard living" is a song by Wailing Souls but among those in the streets of Kibra in Nairobi, Obunga in Kisumu, and Old Town in Mombasa, among other slums, it is an epitome of their livelihood. It is this reality, that those in the top ladder are satirizing. The remarks by Treasury Cabinet Secretary, Honourable John Mbadi on the majority of Kenyans consuming soda signifying the reduction in the high cost of living is unpalatable and apathetic.   Politicians in their cadres assume citizens subscribe to their ideologies only to later realize that the majority of Kenyans are awake.  The same speed and agility they have while speaking only makes Kenyan image to degenerate lest other countries alter their perception of what is Kenya.

The survey has it right until politics comes in as the enemy with politicians as the conduit through which division, hate, violence and tension gets in.  Eight months remain for campaigns to officially begin yet politicians are organizing rallies across the nation to show how influential they are, how mammoth followers are after them but behind every rally casualties are evidenced.  Injuries, deaths, tear gassing, mars various rallies organized by the Kenya's politicians.  In Homa Bay, during the Linda Mwananchi rally, two people were pronounced dead while dozens sustained injuries as goons and the Linda Mwananchi brigades were deeply engaged in a scuffle.  Whereas Nyanza region and by extension Western Kenya b...
