Naked people

As usual I have a misleading title. I'm not going to complain about the fact that a large number of my fellow women have been gradually developing an allergy to clothes (though it IS very rant-worthy). Today, its about the government's secret plan to make us naked. The reasons for this are not quite clear to me yet but conspiracy theorists(not really.Just me) think the government intends to make the most of prostitution before it becomes legal i.e. make all women look like whores so we can get arrested and fined for prostitution thus increasing the amount of money available for our leaders to take their mistresses on holiday, build mansions and buy gigantic T.V's to watch the rest of us die of starvation in HD. I digress. The topic is nudity. So last night on the news I saw that they're levying taxes on mitumba clothes. As an average Kenyan citizen of average means I was appalled. I don't like to use a lot of money on ANYTHING!(Mostly because I rarely have any but that's not the point) Mitumba provides an alternative source of affordable but fashion forward clothing for Kenyans who don't like going into a store and seeing one t-shirt reproduced 30 times and more importantly for those who can't afford the things in those stores whose target is the middle and upper class Kenyan who makes up less than half the population. Why are they taxing them?? People are already taxed for everything. Its not as if there's no money. We can see the money going to buy the M.P's chairs costing 200,000 bob and buying expensive cars and hiring foreign lawyers to represent them for crimes they committed against the very people who chose them to lead...ANYWAY, I digress again. So yes. They are imposing taxes so that we cant afford clothes leaving us with no choice but to wear fewer items of clothing, making us look like ladies of the night so we can get arrested and fined for prostitution. Yeah. I said it.
