Was it all a LIE?

I call my mum as usual before I sleep on 21st June 2022 and gives me the news that they received their annual bonus earlier than expected. But why Munya? Over the year CS Munya has promised tea farmers of better pay but alas they receive their bonus In June when it is supposed to be released in October as the norm. Is the national elections leading to all of this changes. But why the reduction in the bonus payment.   The dollar seems to rise and as tea is exported, they expected a rise in their payments because the pay is supposedly higher. I really hope the presidential candidates this year are keen on seen this drastic drop in tea farmers bonuses. The current president uhuru Kenyatta should also comment on why the change of the prices, why the bonus came earlier than expected and why the promise from the promise from the government on getting a higher bonus rate was not fulfilled. This is such a bad feeling for all the tea farmers especially now that it is coming ...

Wow its been long

Long long time since I wrote,I went back to school to further my studies at postgraduate level in January so when classes begin,I don't know why I forgot all about my blog.

Now am back and come what may I will be finding time to write.Masters ain't a joke.Alot of work there,assignment,research,term papers,reading ahead of class so you don't feel  odd when people are participating in class,its just alot.But I thank God it has been well and it is possible to do that which you thought is hard or possible.As the scripture says in Phillipians 4:13-"All things are possible through  Christ who strengthens me."

When I was choosing the units I would tackle this semester,I had the freight of one"Statistics for Communication Research"with the mention of Statistics i knew it would involve mathematics which i detested In my high school days.I had the attitude of I know I can't pass in mathematics then and consequently I didn't do well in it like i did in languages hence my choice of "Communications" as a course in campus.So all through i knew I would never again come across mathematics.Shocker on me when I got to apply for my masters,it was mentioned during Orientation time that if you never did a unit on "Statistics" in your undergraduate level then you had to do it as a zero credit hour course so as to graduate with a masters degree at Daystar University where I am pursuing my masters.

So during the first class of Statistics on a Saturday 23rd January 2016,the lecturer teaching us just had a way of talking that made me love the course however much I imagined doing mathematics and failing.She mentioned that for you to pass the course you will just need a positive mind towards it.

Since that day i have always looked forward to the classes.I have such a positive mind towards it until i find nothing quite hard.That is the kind of attitude pupils and students should be brought up with towards life.A lot things seem impossible but if only you had a positive mind towards them then all would work out well.How I wish high school mathematics teachers would have encouraging conversations to lift pupils and students hopes towards the subject.That it is possible to pass,if only you believed,put up your effort,revised,then why would you fail?

If i had such an encouragment at high school as i had from my masters lecturer,i think i would have done better.I just wish this will be applied to the coming generations,then failure wouldn't be anyone's portion.That's my lesson to my readers today.

According to Fox News,The Pope visits War -Torn Africa.Yes we know a few countries in Africa have had war or violence in the past but it doesn't mean we still face it. For instance in Kenya it  started from world war 1 & 2 then came the post election violence,it was tough but we overcame it.There is this thing I don't know why but Africa seems bushy and like we do not live well.I remember my sister mentioning when she had gone to visit the U.K with her hubby that people there thought they live on trees, can u just that?funny huh,I know. I am just guessing that comes in because of our darkskins so our appearance still looks like its for those who live in the forest.But anyway that doesn't matter,it still remains 'Black is Beauty'. Africa is full of potential in fact,with the pope's coming -his garments being tailor made right here in Kenya,the plans that were made by Kenyans plus the creativity forms the pictorials in pope's coming.It just doesn't ...

Kenya should borrow a Leaf from Westernized countries

  Just look at the additional jobs last month in the U.S, while we still wailing over the unemployment menace in Kenya...are our leaders ever curious about how to get here? Will we ever get here? Guess that remains a rhetorical question as to where we stand. Last night was AFCON final game Then Kenya ’s former Gor Mahia’s coach, Ghost Mulee can’t be maintained, It has become a trend now that our football teams keep changing local coaches with coaches coming from Westernized countries. Who even decides on this? Now that Kenya is an election year and the next leaders will take their seats come August 2022, it is a challenge for the upcoming leaders to work on seeing another sport bring Kenya to the Limelight in Africa let alone in the world, or should we just stick to Athletics? Senegal's WIN on 6th February 2022 was just epic. Young people want to be empowered, they need to see things brought to action and not empty promises every election year. People are tired of handouts, ...
