At one time, he said that the consumers who are in the low income bracket were not affected. I would like him to specify what he exactly means by “low income bracket”. In Mathioya, we were affected by the same and most of the people he is talking about live below a dollar a day. Most of the increases were over 250 per cent; that is from Kshs200 to Kshs500. We would like to know what he exactly means by “low income bracket” and why there was that increase of 250 per cent."}
