#Cynicaldea @IEAKwame and @LeoKemboi aserts that an indispensable requirement for every coalition should do as opposed to the fancy stories it can tell.
In the language of conventional economics thinking, @IEAKwame & @LeoKemboi make the uncontroversial claim that political coalitions should compete on how they can provide public goods as a start & pursue policies that expand the production possibilities frontier for Kenya.

The inequalities are evident not only in the registration and formalisation of enterprises but also in the firmsโ€™ operations and management.

#KEBudget2022_23
Policy measures for economic recovery in #KEBudget2022_23 should have a keen focus on revenue growth and building of economic resilience due to increased risk exposures from external debt
Theme for #KEBudget2022_23 is "Accelerating Economic Recovery for Improved Livelihood", contextually apt but will it walk the talk??
