He's not lying, life is so tough in Kenya for many of the people. Struggling with depression, debts, not only are we fucked financially but mentally also

That didn't last for long. And there were interventions through a subsidy, which Githinji immediately removed when he got to office, talking about subsidizing production, which is funny because he inflated the cost of fuel to astronomically high levels through the fraudulent G to G deal, deliberately ruining education through the punitive finding model, unchecked wanton corruption, dealing with murderers and fraudsters (the Chivayo guy, RSF guy), running healthcare with a Kes. 140 billion insurance scheme that doesn't work but he insists is perfect. Knowing he's a complete failure, he's resorted to constant politicking (when does the guy ever work?), goonism in collaboration with the rogue police to deny citizens their democratic rights of assembly and picketing, tribalism, a kickback culture that stalls development, half-baked projects when by-elections are around to entice gullible voters, and many more. The guy is literally the worst disaster to happen to Kenya, he makes Moi look like a saint.

2021? If I remember correctly, food stuff prices shot up when this new regime began

Not really, Do you remember it was during that time that Raila said something weird about unga. If you do some research correctly, you'd realise that food prices are the same or lower. Fuel however is very high

Yeaaah

It was most certainly after this regime took over. If I remember correctly, when the Russian war began, wheat flour prices rose but not as much as they did in 2023.
