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 ...

Inflation Boom a terrible pain to every Kenyan

Kenya has become a living hell for many Kenyan residents.Costs of almost everything is raising and life is becoming unbearable.I enter into a supermarket to buy the usual packets of long life milk particularly Lato brand and they happen to be selling at Ksh.47 for one pack of 500ml.

The last time i bought they retailed for Ksh. 42 a pack ,Ksh.5 on top in one month yet its Carrefour,the supermarket with cheaper goods as per now according to me .Lets go to the tissue section ,the same hike applies some go up to Ksh.40 hike and its the same story to very shelf one goes to pick an item.So where should we head too if we earn the same amount of cash and have to spend on the same for our livelihoods.Quite a sad state of economy that we are facing.A shopping bag of Ksh.1000 now holds very little goods as opposed to some years bag when one's shopping bag was weightier.

At some point my dad would purchase a land of 10 acres for as little as Ksh.10,000 now but then that was a lot of money,that land for sure was damn expensive.Now for 10 acres of land,one needs millions of cash,even for one to purchase a decent 2 bed-roomed house ,you got to have invested quite a lot.So the generation after me probably will have to work really hard to live a decent life.

But the irony is i got the academic papers,a job is hard to come across,so is an internship,as Lupita said,yes 'My dreams are valid' but should i always have to rely on another human being so as to get there.
The so called 'godfathers' are they necessary? Why is that that many youths apply for jobs and they hardly get shortlisted or if shortlisted they are hardly given the job.Not forgetting i did everything right,gave up cash for all the clearance certificates required,i have the degree and masters required and yes i applied for the entry job that doesnt require little or no experience at all but got nothing in return, *sobs*.

So now all one can do is get armed with the education but on the side have some ideas because the job doesn't have to go through.Its that hard getting to earn Ksh.30,000 even after getting a masters.Well only those who have applied and gotten the many regrets and several failed interviews can relate to this.

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, ...
