My point of view is that, the economy does not play part in the elections, not because it is not important, but because growth of the same only benefits a handful.

if bread hit 500 bob it would not be of concern to many, since they can not even afford bread at 50bob.

Even in zimbabwe, the majority did not feel the pinch of the economic collapse, well, they had to carry around big bunch of notes but to the majority the lifestyle was not affected much.

William Muriuki eeeeeeh. These people. Kalonzo was right on Muriithi.

Is Zimbabwe a good example? A head to head comparison in the context of debt repayment puts Zimbabwe in a better position in terms of effects on the common citizen.

Experiencing inflation isn't the same as being bankrupt, is it?

You will be forgiven to think that Kenya as a country is already in dogs. Far from it if you ask me.
Let us rewind the clock back to 1993. The dollar jumped from ksh 54 to ksh 120 to a dollar. The inflation averaged something close 20%. The lending rates from the banks averaged around 35%. Maize floor, sugar and other common mwananchi foods were not in stock (i remember buying a kilogram of sugar @ksh 200 while the actual cost was supposed to be kshs 40). Salaries, OMG, a whole engineer earning kshs 5000. The previous year 1992 the government had printed money for dishing out and financing the elections (jirongo and ruto did very well in utilising the printed cash)
I am just laughing at your uncalled for worries. Compare the current economic parameters with those of 1993 and you might have a mind change.
Something else, way back in 1984, the worst drought and famine hit Kenya. People generally had money, but there was no food to buy! Despite that, we are still here!

The middle class syndrome.
