it's going to be tougher but our mps are majorly to blame they passed that law, now no one is even considering revisiting it.

Actually yesterday was deadline for wananchi to submit their views to KRA rejecting this. Many of course didn't know because it wasn't made public on social media with the same energy we use to fight/defend Raila or Ruto
Kenyans are resilient people, tutakuwa sawa if we survived the handshake gavament
The economic problem we are facing now is 90% contributed by jubilee 2013-2017 (uhuruto). If market forces are left to determine prices tutalia.
FX is controlled.
Subsidies here and there.
Loan interest rates were controlled.

We are very poor when it comes to public participation im all manner of law making and policy adoption.
We have been through worse and somehow the country and its people have survived through it all....even now, despite increase in petrol prices there will still be crazy traffic in the coming weeks...even if beer taxes were increased club's will still thrive.

Based on the data above the population seems to be doing better year on year apart from when covid struck which was the worst economic period this country has ever experienced in the recent past, and its seems Kenyans have quickly recovered from it. Even this one I doubt your prediction is right that Kenyans will suffer enmasse
We don't have proper lobby groups. Bribe the heads and they keep quiet. I'm imagining organisations like COTU, COFEK,
Do you want to survive or to thrive?We have been through worse and somehow the country and its people have survived through it all....even now, despite increase in petrol prices there will still be crazy traffic in the coming weeks...even if beer taxes were increased club's will still thrive.

Because even chokoras survive. Even Lebanon, Venezuela, Syria, Zimbabwe people are surviving. Even if KRA triples it's taxes people will still survive.
If yours is about surviving then no need to discuss further.
Kenyans will survive and thrive...there are better days ahead. The glass is half full
Surviving we shall. The thriving part is what you are avoiding to explain. Do you have data projecting people will thrive?
We need to define thrive first, maybe your definition of thriving is people buying more cars? The chart below shows how Kenyans are doing for the last 10 years
Or its in the purchase of new houses? Housing data is hard to come by in the country, but you can look at your circle of friends.
The increase in bodaboda saccos too means that their members are doing OK.
More and more Kenyans seem to be taking holidays in exotic locations going by the thriving local tourism companies, they hardly share their data but business seems to be doing well after the covid manenos
What do you mean by thriving?
A simple definition from google: To survive means to continue to live or exist in spite of danger, whereas to thrive means to grow, develop and prosper.
In terms of businesses, KQ, Eveready, Uchumi etc are surviving. I'm surprised you want me to look at my friends to determine whether the entire population of Kenyans are doing well or not. Isn't that too simplistic?
I didn't understand the chart you put was about what. Do you have data showing Kenya living below poverty line between 2013-2019?
If that is the definition then check the first link it shows growth via a declining poverty rate. Owning a vehicle is a sign of prosperity in kenya thus the second graph. There is no data on housing so the best I can direct you is looking at your circle.
More Kenyans have sunk into poverty, new report reveals
New report shows number of Kenyans living in poverty jumped by 15 percentage points between 2014 and 2018.
