A poll released by Infotrak on Saturday, December 31, captured issues Kenyans want President William Ruto’s government to tackle in 2023.
52 per cent of Kenyans want the government to tackle high cost of living explaining it was a major concern to them.
The cost of living has been rising steadily in the last three years and prices of basic commodities like fuel, electricity and consumable goods are poised to rise in 2023 after the government cut on subsidies.
Kenyans are also concerned with high cost of living with 42 per cent urging the government to fix it.
Ruto had promised in his campaign manifesto to create 4 million jobs for the youth.
"It is only by changing the economy that we will be able to employ more youth, and empower small businesses," the president promised during presidential campaign in the run up to August 9, general election.
Access to healthcare is another concern for many Kenyans with 30 per cent wanting the government to improve on that.
The survey coincides with Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) report that Ministry of Health is the second most corrupt public institution in Kenya.
24 per cent of Kenyans want Ruto’s government to tackle challenges facing the quality of education in the country.
Kenyans also reported that they would want to see improvement in Transport, Infrastructure and Roads.
Most Kenyans did not seem concerned with corruption prevalence in the country with only 15 per cent of Kenyans remarking that they want the government to tackle corruption.
Kenyans also feel that the country is in a good frame politically with only 3 per cent of Kenyans asking the government to tackle bad politics.
