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 ...

Kenyans Fury Over Fuel Prices Hike

 
Fuel prices have hit a notch higher in Kenya after a series of the prices continually hiking. This move has caused a lot of reactions from Kenyans of all classes, the rich, middle class, and the poor. The price of fuel going up has worsened the state of the economy in Kenya such that those in the public service vehicle (PSV) industry or 'matatu' industry as it is well known are forced to increase commuter prices for the distances they cover. It is such moves that will hard-hit people and give them a hard time living and providing for their families on a day-to-day basis. Motorists and boda boda riders are also having a hard time because they have to dig deeper into their pockets in order to fuel their vehicles and motorbikes.

 Kenyans have hence reacted to the situation by having a standstill on roads as a way to protest the pain felt after the fuel prices rose. People who board matatus daily to make their way to and from their workplaces and businesses also protested by failing to board matatus and walking. This was especially because they could afford to give out more money to matatu operators than they used to prior as this went beyond their budgets. It is a plea from Kenyans that the government should restore the prices of fuel to normal to avoid bringing a greater burden to people who are already hard-pressed by the COVID-19 pandemic and regulations inflicted on them such as curfew.
