Ledama Olekina, a senator from Narok, has expressed her opinion that President William Ruto's policies are causing the country to regress to antiquated social class divisions.
He believes that the reprehensible tax policies that President Ruto has imposed over the past year will eliminate middle-class Kenyans and produce a clear division between the country's rich and poor.
In an interview with Citizen TV on Monday, the lawmaker stated that the country's current economic crisis will only worsen if Ruto doesn't propose a cure for the ailment.
"You might think that by raising taxes you'll collect more money but what will happen is that people will lay off employees, people will close off businesses," argued Olekina.

"Kibaki brought up the middle class. That's when you saw people driving vehicles and having mortgages, and what Ruto is doing is taking back to the time when it was the poor versus the rich."
The Senator blamed the Kenyan MPs, claiming they had abandoned their oversight duties and been rendered less manly by the Executive.
He maintained that several officials, obsessed with stealing public funds and engaging in graft, have compromised the government.
"The current administration has managed to muscle its way through the legislative arm of government. None of the Kenya Kwanza MPs read the legislative proposals. They just come to say "tunapitisha," and when it is passed into law, they complain of increased taxes," he said.
"We have an incompetent administration which is coupled by the fact that greed for personal wealth such that people are not looking at the people who elected them."
