He is a successful politician who has been a Member of Parliament, an assistant minister, and the immediate Governor of Laikipia County. In all levels of service, he delivered admirable development and economic achievements.
On Ghetto Radio’s morning show #Brekko, he gave his informed opinion about the Kenyan Economy currently and its opportunities for growth.
He rated the economic performance at 35%, and with reasons.
The highlights of the podcast are on the definition of a government, economic prioritization of government expenditure, the impact of the dollar on the economy, the budget 2023/24 and how to survive the high cost of living on the household level.
He also expresses concern over investor confidence in Kenya as a big risk on the economy, siting the Nairobi Stock Exchange performance.
“The strength of the shilling against the dollar affects all of us. Ngano tunanua Russia, Ukraine… Bei ya dollar ikienda juu pia Bei ya unga inapanda,” added Muriithi.
Comparing to the Kibaki’s government, he advises that prioritization of expenditure will be key to stabilizing the economy and reducing our debts.
