On Saturday, I attended a public debate whose theme was Hali Ya Uchumi and was hosted by Mathare Social Justice Centre. Its goal was to discuss the state of our economy. What was impressive was that the panelists David Ndii and Kwame Owino, two leading economists, were the ones driving this public discussion about the mismanagement of our economy deep in Mathare slum.
If one would like to feel the country’s pulse, public barazas provide that avenue and this was clearly witnessed during the meeting between farmers and Senators in Uasin Gishu last week. Majority of Kenyans are convinced that economic management is on its deathbed.
