That sucks.
Time to cut govt spending to match the revenue lost.
Cutting taxes will rejuvenate economy.

2024 and 2025 it's going to be very tough economically. All indicators are pointing to government defaulting. Ndii has done the best he can v but I don't see any more wiggle room.

Besides raising taxes what else has Ndii done? He refused to acknowledge that unless he can convince ruto to deal with the corruption, none of his ivory tower theoretical principles will work.

Would be stupid to default when Kenya has big assets like KPA , Safaricom KAA etc .
Furthermore Kenyas debt went into pockets of individuals easy to get that money back ofcourse not by Ruto as he is an interested part like Kenyattas etc
