Total lie. The first 100 days of Baks were good. Kenyans were ranked the most optimistic people in the world.

What changes are you expecting after one year? Unajua kwanza dollar itafika 127.

You are confusing the honeymoon phase and the 100 days. Kenyans were optimistic because it was one of the most unanimous elections. But as the appointments came through and a certain person, they shall not be named, who arrived late to the party was edged out, it became toxic.

nothing will change even after 5 years going by the appointments being made. No inspiration at all. Remember those heads are the ones to spear head government policies and changes.
government is being expanded by day yet we expect recurrent expenditure to go down.
State capture is still the norm, and nabii desperate for western embrace after the icc saga, expect more western power producers and now water vendors to join the party.
You mould iron while still hot.

Like a simple thing of dualing nrb-nkr highway should have be done ages ago and shouldn't be a toll road. I expected nkr, kericho, uasin ngishu and other western leaders to push for it since it's a core road for them but hardly any weekend pass without hearing of traffic jams wasting fuel and man hrs.
The voters of 1992, 1997 and 2002 were more wiser than today's age voters.
The optimism of 2002 was from the fact that change was coming. It was a time when citizens would arrest cops for taking bribes. Something that has never happened before.But once wananchi heard of the scandals within Kibaki government, hope was replaced by despair. That's when honey moon phase ended
