@sani

this is just fake news.propaganda. this means nobody can afford to buy anything in juba, and the economy would have collapsed long time ago. if judges were paid that amount even affording clothing would be a problem, as the amount is too small to even buy food. mharo article

What I thought… Kama street beggers hapa nyairofi get an average of ksh. 5000 per day…

If you are old in Nairobi you must have realized that the population of South Sudanese that used to hang around Hurlingham, Western Unions and the Stanley Hotel has reduced significantly.

These guys were well off. But the effects of the war, falling crude oil prices and devaluation of their local currency turned overnight millionaires into paupers. If you had 1 million pounds in December 2015, that was equivalent to Ksh 40 million. The same 1 million pounds is now equivalent to half a million kenya shillings. The salaries of civil servants have not been raised ever. So people who used to earn 6,000 pounds (around Ksh 180k) in 2015 still earn the same now but the amount is equivalent to Ksh 3,500.

The country is experiencing hyperinflation and their inflation is #2 in the world after Venezuela.
