President Kibaki...too little too late

I feel that I wasted a good vote. But after what happened, who does not. I had hoped President Kibaki would wield a big stick and take to task the oil companies as well. Its not enough to ask for a review of electricity tariffs - that helps the manufacturers carry on and make margins, processing already costly raw materials thanks to high transport (high fuel costs). To that slum dweller, who can get by with a kerosene lamp/jiko, lower power tariffs mean nothing. He still has to buy jogoo for more than two times what it cost eight months ago (meanwhile earning the same salary). He also has to pay higher fare. No Mr President, you are not dealing with the problem. I'm no economist but it could be done differently to help the working man and woman to keep the wolf from the door.
