TIFA Survey Shows Three in Four Kenyans Believe Country Heading Wrong Direction - June 2026

A recent TIFA survey reveals widespread pessimism among Kenyans regarding the nation's direction and their personal economic circumstances, with three out of every four Kenyans believing the country is heading in the wrong direction. A decline in public trust towards government announcements is highlighted, noting a past where citizens would at least give official statements the benefit of the doubt, a practice seemingly absent today. Meanwhile, the 2026-2027 Finance Bill is being characterized as the worst in Kenya's history due to heavy taxation increases.
