Kenya Kwanza has given in to IMF orders in a scary manner

Why this deafening silence from the regime on the economic woes of the people?

It is because this regime has outsourced the policy-making and management of our economy. It has handed over the task of managing our economy to the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The IMF demanded abolition of subsidies, particularly of petrol.

This is while the dominant members of IMF themselves maintain sophisticated subsidies in key sectors like petrol, generic medicines, agricultural production and, for example, pig production. By breaking their own rules, they help their own people, but prohibit Kenya (and other countries on the continent) from using any type of subsidies to help their people. Yet they have compelled the regime to force the Finance Bill through.
