"content": "The economy is growing, but lives have not yet changed. The poverty index in this country is higher than it was when the Jubilee Government came in. As a sympathizer of the Jubilee Government, I still have some doubts that this Government has done what we promised the people of this country. And as one of its sympathizers, I can say without doubt that we have failed this nation because the living standards of our people are not the way we found them as the Jubilee Government. We need to address the common needs of our people in this country. We have people out there who do not know how people at the grassroots suffer. We need to see how we can bring down the high cost of living in this country to the level that every Kenyan can afford. We need to empower people economically and let everybody have money so that they can have economic purchasing power. At the moment, only few people have purchasing power. The majority, especially the pastoralists of this country, suffer. So, when we talk about the economy growing, it is on paper. Lives of people have not yet changed."
