The Truth About Kenya's Economy They Don't Teach You - with Christopher Legilisho

Why does the economy keep growing but life still feels harder? Do you feel like the economy is working for you or against you? In this episode of Wall Street Mtaani, we take real opinions from everyday Kenyans and sit down with Christopher Legilisho, a leading economist, to unpack one of the biggest questions today: How do economic policies actually affect your life? Why is the economy growing yet many Kenyans feel left behind? From fuel prices and taxes to interest rates and business activity, this conversation connects the dots between what’s happening at the top and what you feel on the ground. Because while the economy has grown significantly over the past decade, many people still feel like they’ve been left behind. In this episode, we explore: • Why rising taxes and fuel prices hit harder than expected • How government policies are created, and why many people feel excluded • The real impact of interest rates on loans, businesses, and everyday spending • Why economic growth doesn’t always translate to better living standards • The role of governance, accountability, and public participation • Whether a “fair” economic system is possible, and what it would look like This episode blends real voices from the street with expert insight, giving you both the lived experience and the explanation behind it.
