Was it all a LIE?

Image
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 ...

Be prompt before someone gets their hopes up

I happened to process for my mum her national insurance health fund (NHIF) benefits for some procedures she underwent during this week. She was admitted in the high dependency unit (H.D.U) for three days and later for one day in the ward.In her stay in hospital she underwent several tests which were expensive given that were performed within Nairobi hospital's labs -among the tests were a Coronary arteriogram, echocardiogram, ultrasound-bilateral doppler and CT pulmonary angiogram. Thing is the NHIF office at Nairobi office told me to start off the process of her being paid for some amount before even checking through the status of her card.I had to go her doctor's clinic and get a report of her medical situation,filled a report and walk to the NHIF offices to and from twice.It was such a tasking process but i was ready to undertake if at all mum's bill would be lessened by NHIF paying some of it. Then to my surprise on my second visit to NHIF headquarters on 6th floor ...

Internships should be easily accessible now with the county governments

I am in full support of Governor Mandago's  move to have the 600 youths from Uasin Ngishu county go through internship to equip them with experience so they are ready for the job market. It is true that that most job requirements ask for 3-5 years experience yet the person applying for the job is just straight from the university. It is quite depressing seeing that one cant get a job simply because they lack experience for the said job. Let the challenge go to the other counties so that the Kenyan can use up the skills they have acquired in school and again as the saying goes " the future belongs to the them".  The retirement age stands at 60years hence many experienced people are still holding onto their jobs as the young linger in desperation of looking for livelihood.The struggle is real though,tarmacking ain't that easy.Many young Kenyans are getting tired of finding jobs after graduating with their first degree and go back to school for their postgraduat...

God Answers Prayers

Image
And it finally happened God came through for me.I am sure there are a lot of Kenyan youth out there who are tarmacking,day in day out applying for a job.It is disheartening especially when someone is so hopeful of something only to see that they did not make it to the shortlisted lot or when they receive a regret email.I know that feeling trust. Just imagine God is thinking about yo,yes He has you in His thoughts ,yes you.Don't give up,keep applying,keep praying,PUSH is the word-Pray Until Something Happens.When it happens ,trust me you will see God really has great plans  for you.In Jeremiah 29:11,the Bible tells us "For I know the thoughts i think toward you,saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil,to give you an expected end " -Holy Bible NIV version.My my just what a wonderful God we have,isn't he a God of promises and His promises are true and Amen. Surprisingly today's sermon in my church was 'God's promise of the Redeemer ' .God i...

#SomeoneTellFoxNews

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

Image
  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, ...
