When will we eradicate poverty?

Years are passing by, and still no signs of a poverty free community as we always dream of. Life to the bigger percentage of Kenyans remains unbearable due to low income generations and heavy burden of tax imposed by the government to the citizens.

Many youths suffer in the streets just to get something to fill their empty stomachs as a result of high poverty levels. One was not able to acquire education so as to secure a job in the very competitive society.

Crime has not been left behind as the youth’s use any possible means to earn themselves their daily bread. Car hijacking, mugging and drug trafficking all have been in the lime light.

Too much blood around, Young men losing their lives at the ages when even the nation needs them to build a reliable society. There is need for a change in our systems so that we are able to come up with a solution to protect the youths for them to defend the nation in the future.

Families keep on mourning not from only gunned down people but also other small issues which are affecting only the poor. Illicit brews have been another hindering issue for many decades now. Many have lost their lives and others sight.

 Thanks to the legislature for passing the alcohol control bill which if signed to law; will have saved many as the brews will have to go through standardization.

It’s so ironical after all this deep worries and problems in Kenyans hearts, some even going  without food and clean water for domestic use. Our leaders have turned a blind eye to all these problems to an extent of increasing their salaries yet they are the among the highest paid across the world.

These generous salaries are nothing but just another distress to Kenyans as the cost of living is getting higher and higher each and every day and for the first time in history this government is run by forty four cabinet ministers who are unable to come up with a solution ailing the poor.
