NAIROBI, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) Kenya should increase budgetary allocation towards programs that aim to cushion disadvantaged groups from negative impacts of COVID-19 pandemic, campaigners said Thursday.
Antonia Musunga, national coordinator of Kenya Fight Inequality Alliance, said that an overhaul of economic policies was urgent to ensure growth trickles down to the low-income segment of the population bearing the brunt of the pandemic. The levels of inequality have spiralled during the pandemic and now is the time to make structural changes to the economy to ensure the recovery from the pandemic supercharges the fight against inequality, Musunga said in a statement issued in Nairobi.
