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 ...

Faith Without Actions is Dead

In Raila Odinga’s , popularly known as RAO National Super Alliance (NASA) flag bearer exclusive interview by Citizen’s TV’s Hussein Mohammed on 4 th May , he mentioned that if he wins as President in the August 8 th election he will change a couple of things in his first 90days in office. Among them are food prices being subsidized and rent being lowered. We have had verbal promises from politicians over the years and once they get into office they just do shoddy jobs just to blind people, then bag cash and expand their territories then remember ‘wananchi’ when the 5 year term is almost elapsing. Then is when they creep back and humble themselves pretending to be nice and then campaign for the next election votes. If politicians think that will be the same song this time round, they better think twice. People are always enlightened with time and those people that voted in 2013 are not the same that will vote in 2017.Literally they are but their perceptions towards politician...

Pain of a Deteriorating Economy

Image
So today as I buy some bananas at a kiosk near my residence,I pluck the bananas I needed and give the shopkeeper 40Ksh.The shopkeeper could not believe I had given him the exact cash for the bananas I had plucked from the bunch he had outside his shop.One banana goes for ten shillings,I took four bananas hence I owed him 40Ksh.  The guy just had to pull out his head of the shop's window and see exactly how many bananas i had taken in order to give me the paper-bag to carry the bananas with.What if i took more bananas and gave the shopkeeper less money?Wouldn't i have taken the shopkeeper to a loss?Especially in such times of everything being expensive,he would have not forgiven me for denying him what he deserves. It looked funny seeing him refuse with the paper-bag but in essence that's the reality we are in right now as Kenyans.The Kenyan economy has just deteriorated.Things are not as they used to be.The economy is no longer stable.Everything all over sudden is expe...

#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, ...
