Many families would risk going hungry as the government increases taxation on basic food and nonfood comodities that every family would depend on to put food on the table. The finance bill this year has proposed several draconian taxations that would real;ly affacet the ordinray kenyans and put the families in the very bad states in terms of getting the daily bread.
With the increases on these levies the most vulnarable in our communities here in kenya will feel it greatly and would be unable to sustain theior family basic needs. Most commodities prices have risen tremendiuosly in the mast few monts putting the already vulnerable children and families in a very awkward situation. The packet of maize floor which is the besic household commoditi now retails at Ksh 240/= up from the initial Ksh 150/= and this is repeated in many of the basic household food products across the nation hence we have so many families going without food for days and they do not have any formal employement to take care of these basic nees and hence needs inbtervantion as starvation amongst these families is real and cannnot be downplayed at all.
Its our humble appeal that we continue coussioning these famileies as they strrugle to make eneds meet for their children and the strrugle is reral hence we need to intervene. The inetervations will go along way to make these families to survive during this hurse moments in life.
