Kenyan Civic Class Exposes Corruption's Grip on Cost of Living

Kenyan Civic Class Highlights Corruption, Tribalism's Impact on Cost of Living Mukuru Kwa Reuben, Kenya – A recent civic education class in Mukuru Kwa Reuben shed light on the significant challenges facing Kenyans in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections. The class, led by a passionate instructor, focused on the interconnectedness of corruption, tribalism, and the rising cost of living. "The price of maize flour is a perfect example," the instructor explained. "The price goes up, not because of shortages, but because of corruption and tribal favoritism in government spending and resource allocation." The instructor further illustrated his point by discussing how government funds intended for infrastructure projects often end up in the pockets of a select few, leaving the majority of Kenyans to bear the brunt of inflation. One participant commented, "It's frustrating to see our money wasted while we struggle to afford basic necessities." The class concluded with a call for greater transparency and accountability in government, and a plea for Kenyans to make informed decisions during the upcoming elections. The event serves as a powerful reminder of the need for civic engagement and the importance of holding leaders accountable. The instructor's passionate teaching and the women's attentive participation underscore the desire for change and the potential for a brighter future.
