They could still be alive! Think of the Turkey earthquakes. The government was recovering living people and animals even a week later. He is now focused of using force against citizens in other areas rather than using the military/police to recover fellow Kenyans. He probably didn't get many votes from the Mai Mahiu area so he doesn't care.

What happens at 12:01 P.M. the same day, 1:00 P.M. of the same day, 11:59 P.M. of the same day and then, May 2nd, third, fifth ..e.t.c.? The whole point is to mobilise resources OPTIMALLY whether a national disaster has been declared or not.

Food prices came down and especially maize flour. That is a fact. Fuel also came down and is on a downward trend. He did al lthat without useless subsidies unlike his predecessor who brought subsidies and in the process, tax payers money was stolen. Most of the subsidies were political. They were for the sole purpose of electing the kitendawili man.

Sorry, but taxing everyone so that a few can enjoy congested apartments is not the way to self dependency. If you have to rely on the government to take money from others, you are, in fact, DEPENDENT on the government and others.
