Esther Akoth famously known as Akothee who is known for her hard work has also echoed her sentiments on the high cost of living in Kenya.
Akothee, through her Facebook page, posted that she doesn’t know how the price of milk and sugar is retailing, saying all she knows is that nowadays when she goes to the supermarket for even five items it’s nothing less than ten thousand.
She went ahead and said that whenever she goes out shopping, she shops for a whole month she spends more than one hundred thousand.
“If I shop for a whole month it’s nothing less than 100k for dry foods toiletries etc Mimi pia niliamua tu kuishi ,I know my car would consume 8k for a full tank it lasts 4 days,,siku hizi inatandika 12k for a full tank for 3 days”
She said that now she decided to survive since her car used to consume eight thousand for a full tank which would go for four days but now it consumes twelve thousand for only three days.
Akothee was left wondering how people who are earning 20k per month are surviving with children, rented houses, hospital bills, and daily life. He concluded by praying to God on their behalf asking God to come through their life.
“I just wonder how people earning 20k per month are living with children, rented houses, hospital bills, and daily life . Wee MUNGU AWAONEKANIE WATU WANGU. NAWAOMBEA “. she concluded.
