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 ...

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 postgraduate studies some even to the doctorate stage ,only hoping that would open up a door to them securing a job.
The government really needs to work on getting the youth out of their misery of poverty simply because they cant be shortlisted or employed out of lack of experience.
The recent 10,000 applications for 800  Tuskys internship positions points to the gloomy job market. Only 1700 were shortlisted for interviews and more than 20 applicants had masters degrees.
