Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot has chastised Infotrak over the latest opinion poll.

In an Update via Twitter on Tuesday, February 28, the Kericho Senator accused Infotrak of doctoring the report.

“Infotrak, the crooks who couldn't even correctly predict an MCA race have showered and come back to the market like they never left. I am sure they believe there are folks who will give a bother to their ever-doctored findings. Such gutsy chaps,” Cheruiyot stated.

Infotrak earlier released a survey indicating that most Kenyans believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction due to the high cost of living, high taxation, and poor governance.

“73 percent of the Kenyans mentioned the high cost of living, followed by high taxation at 5 percent, unemployment at 5 percent, poor governance at 4 percent, bad politics at 3 percent, and drought, poverty rampant corruption and unequal distribution of jobs all at 1 percent,” Infotrak stated.

The report also stated that most Kenyans want the Ruto government to bring down the high cost of living while others pointed out unemployment and the quality of education.

“The 2,149 Kenyans want the cost of living to be addressed as a matter of priority, unemployment was mentioned by 30 percent, quality of education, 19 percent want agriculture to be addressed insecurity and poverty reduction tied at 14 percent then access to clean water was mentioned by 13 percent.

“Cost of doing business 12 percent, transport and infrastructure 12 percent. Another two that had a double-digit of 11 percent each was access to health care services and corruption,” the report added.
