Kenyan-Canadian lawyer Dr. Miguna Miguna has urged President William Ruto to take action by arresting four high-ranking government officials who served in the previous administration under Uhuru Kenyatta.
Miguna addressed the issue of the declining economy and proposed solutions during his statement. He advised Ruto to focus on solving Kenya's economic doldrums and avoid overtaxing them.
He went ahead and adviced Ruto to rdo this by educing taxes, minimizing borrowing rates, and abandoning the privatization program, which he believed would not address the current economic challenges. Miguna further recommended pursuing former government officials involved in corruption, recovering embezzled funds from government institutions to support the country's financial needs.
