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 ...

Same Old Story Should Come to an End

Image
 Kenya is nearing another electioneering year, 2022 where its citizen gets to choose new leaders for the next 5 years. Some political spirants especially those g arne ring for the top seat of the President of the Republic of Kenya began looking for votes and strategizing on how to win Kenyans to their side as early as 2017. That was the year, the last elections were held.  It is sad because the same people in the elected positions or per se in power in one way or another are the same ones who want to get votes , come the year 2022. Do they ever get work to work? Are the promises they made in 2017 fully accomplished? Until when will Kenyans be taken for granted? Don't we ever get tired f hearing the same story or receiving the same kind of promises from these politicians?  I am happy that a select few Kenyans are getting angry at the system and coming up with movements that speak to these politicians of the reality in the ground. This includes the strugglers ...

Pain of Deteriorating Economy

 I remember this happening during 2017, before the previous general elections.  I happened to buy some bananas at a kiosk near my residence, I plucked the bananas I needed and give the shopkeeper Ksh 40. 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...

#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, ...
