The government is always complaining of high wage rates that the economy can't afford.
The economy is worsening and we are funding part of our budget through foreign borrowing.
The cost of living has gone up due to increased taxes by the government.
We are also losing a lot of public money through the many corruption cases we are having in the country.
The burden of all these is being felt by the common Mwananchi who have to dig deeper into their pockets to fund government projects.
With our economy in such a state, the president should have spared us the by-elections.
They were unnecessary expenses that could have been avoided if he didn't appoint the two elected leaders as cabinet secretaries.
There are many skilled Kenyans who could have made as good choices for the cabinet slots if appointed.
If the president didn't make us go for the two by-elections we could have saved a lot of money which could have been used in other government projects.
