The #COVID19KE pandemic started as a health crisis, but evolved to affect all sectors, including the economy. The damage to the country is likely to last for long, because of the state of our economy - @IEAKwame

#WIMKe

@IEAKwame

@IEAKwame - Government's economic stimulus should have come earlier to prevent businesses from completely shutting down. When you have an economy that has suffered from supply shocks, the government needs to provide a cushion in all sectors, including economic & social.

#WIMKe

@IEAKwame

@IEAKwame - It is critical to keep businesses close to their workers. To prepare for a rebound, we need to cushion businesses to keep them afloat. The crisis has shown us the importance of a healthy economy, since you can expand debt easily without having a heavy burden.
