 Bigambo
 warned
 that
 President
 Ruto's
 popularity
 could
 take
 a
 big
 hit.

"It
 will
 depend
 on
 how
 many
 other
 things
 he
 does
 right.
 If
 the
 decisions
 will
 not
 lower
 the
 cost
 of
 living
 within
 the
 next
 six
 to
 eight
 months
 then
 t h e j o y o f t h e o r d i n a r y
 citizens
 will
 not
 last
 long,"
 he
 said.
