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 ...

Happy International Youth Day

Image
The world marks Happy International Youth Day on 12th August 2020.  Kenya is a country of the youth according to the 2019 Population and Census results which shows that 75% of the 47.6 million population is under the age of 35. The population aged below 35 years was 35,700,787 (75.1 per cent) in 2019 compared to 30,237,255 (78.3 per cent) in 2009. While the population of 35 years and below population has increased by 5,463,532 from 2009, its proportional share has dropped by 3 percent.  These were the results of the census conducted in August 2019. It is then clear that the majority of Kenyan residents are young people. Most of the young people are unemployed too, with the trading economic website citing that  Unemployment Rate in Kenya remained unchanged at 4.90 percent in the first quarter of 2020 from 4.90 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019.   In Kenya, the unemployment rate measures the number of people actively looking for a job as a percentage of t...

What Leads One To Resign

With the resignation of Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Beatrice Elachi, it brings up the question of what drives one to want to resign. With all the money packages a job comes with. Assured money at the end of the month, allowances, a special treat that comes through a voucher maybe at the end of the year, you can’t just leave a job. Something must have made you hand in that resignation letter. It could be positive or negative. Positive in terms of a better job having come your way, which we commonly term as greener pastures. On the negative side, your work environment might not be pleasing and hence you just want to move away from it. It might be too toxic for you, a lot of disagreements, no harmony and such aspects. It is important to follow your heart though.  For others, the work might be too loaded, you hardly get time for yourself, your school work or family life. After all, life should be balanced.  It is important to do that which makes you happy. You should smile and...

#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, ...
