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 ...

Matiba was a Great Kenyan who deserves Great Commemoration

I may have not been born in the era when Kenneth Matiba was politically active but for sure its a name even in the generation to come that will remain relevant.

Seeing his state of health in the past recent years is proof that he was really tortured and ruined. No one should face such just because he is doing what he feels is right for him and his country.

Matiba fought for multiparty democracy and intended to rule this great country of Kenya at one point.Perhaps those that tortured him feared his victory over their's but why want to be on the better side of life while your fellow competitor is languishing in a terrible state of health.

Now is when the statement " Health is your wealth" really makes sense.Matiba was a wealthy man with investments front,right and center but how will you be happy if you are robbed of your health.

The Bible clearly states in Matthew 7:12 that " So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets". I know for sure that the people that led him to get the stroke that he has been suffering with for more than 20 years now, always have some guilt conscious disturbing them in their minds and especially now that Matiba's story has been revived in Kenya following his demise.

Matiba's death should be a wake up to all Kenyans as a country and also at an individual's level to always appreciate those who are around us,those we love,hate, those we've hurt in the past when they are alive.

Now is when the country and those that know of Matiba's story are thinking of giving him praise by ' Naming one of the streets after him, having his statue somehere in the Nairobi central business district.But why now should be our question? 

Matiba died at 85 years old ? Thats a long period of living having started his political career at age 31.Despite all that, he will forever be in Kenya's political history.

No one is ever  going to live forever,this earth is just but a passing cloud.
Lets do good when we always can ,it will never hurt and it does feel great anyway.Rest in Peace Kenneth Matiba.

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, ...
