    "content": "I would have loved if the President had good economic advisors because he could have easily increased this tax slowly. That is in bits of 2 per cent every year, thus minimising the shock treatment to the people. As it is, a simple example, the day it was announced that fuel was going up by 16 per cent, the Energy Regulatory Authority shot up the price of fuel by Kshs12. Shortly, thereafter, when it was announced that it will be proposed to be reduced to 8 per cent, the Energy Regulatory Commission reduced the cost of fuel by Kshs2, therefore, dropping it from Kshs12 to Kshs10 which is inconsistent with the reduction from 16 per cent to 8 per cent. This is a burden we are putting on wananchi; the ordinary man, your worker, your maid, everybody including us. These days, we are entirely dependent on mobile money transfer. For every cent you sent, you pay a tax of 12 per cent. If you sent somebody Kshs100, you are going to pay Kshs12. This is heavy and it is going to hurt people who work on mijengo; who go to construction sites and are paid Kshs200 daily. They have left their families in the rural areas of Narok, Kajiado, Bungoma and wherever. Every day when he gets Kshs200 from"
