SEEMING < BEING

Golden record Kenya is synonymous with athletics records especially in long distance racing. I am currently in Narok and I happened to forget to carry my guzzlers fuel connection, that is my smartphones charger. I haven't had of any smartphone battery that lasts long, someone should break that record in that field. Okay in Kenya I believe the most displaced community is the Maasai. Most towns in Kenya have Maasai names meaning they lived there, Molo, Nairobi, Olenguruone among  many others. There is one popular YouTube video that shows Maasai men taking meat from a pride of lions, I just wonder how the same fierce guys have been so displaced in this country. However SEEMING < BEING Narok town is said to have developed over a very short period of time. I don't know much about the town but am told politics hindered the growth of the town for a long time but now the alleged enemy of development was trounced by development conscious leaders. That said the Maasai commu...

GOLDen STONE

GOLDen STONE  THAT'S A STONE THROW away in Nakuru there is a lot of development.   To mention but a few • Umash (good or bad) you decide • Drive in • Hotel Cathay • Nakumatt West Side  • Ereto's expansion(inclusion of hotel)  •  Countless number of Colleges and universities. • Continuous growth of Tuskys • Naivas • Re-branded Menengai • Hotels and storey buildings around pipeline area. • Prince loo sevens among many other development.    So an English investigative news feature by John Allan Namu and a Swahili one by Mohammed Ali showed how the government might be sidelining the Muslim community. A mix of complaining and politics I just don't like.  Proverbs 15:13   A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

Safe gas Huduma Kenya portal Faiba Kakamega ad A few of the ads that are • Animated • Hilarious The huduma portal's main message is serious that is to give people online government service while still advertising the other physical centers where people can get the government services. Have to commend people behind the Trust™ advertisement they have managed to send the message without being explicit, they might be safer than many other products. Kudos. Reminds me of some liquid cooking oil that had some VERY SUGGESTIVE scenes I say VERY SUGGESTIVE, had some dude undressing and on and on any on, difficult to explain. That was not the greatest problem, the main problem was as is with many other liquid cooking oils, they solidify after a several times of use. There is a Swahili saying that assets that good things sell themselves, if you happen to buy their commodity and they disappoint you most definitely you will go for the trusted brands. During the weekend I happened...

Golden ideas in Molo my problem since I cleared my undergraduate degree at JKUAT in 2012 has been how to add value to agricultural products from Molo. In my walk around Molo I have come around Keringet Seed Foundation an organization seeking to add value to potatoes. Don't know much about them but their primary purpose was to provide quality potato seeds to farmers a very viable product in this sides of Kenya. What they have also ventured into is adding value to potatoes. I am a technology guy however agriculture is the sector that provides most employment. And as rural urban migration increases there is also increased demand for agricultural products. A bag of potatoes is currently going for ksh 1000 from the farm, that translates to little or no return to the farmer. Maybe for the same reason infrastructure in these areas is in almost deplorable condition yet this is the food basket of Kenya and even other East African countries to as far as Rwanda. But there in light in t...

GOLDen PROG

Golden program is in Channel Next I have been for sometimes now been a regular viewer of channel Next. Channel next is one found when you press the Next Program button. However some local productions are coming to our rescue. Hapa Kule News Real Housewives of Kawangware Churchill Live Some coastal soaps might be too slow for the rest of us. Not in a bad way but coastal people are currently known for BAD things that tourism is at a serious LOW almost an all time LOW. I seriously hope that Hapa Kule News, Real House Wives of Kawangware and other local hilarious productions will be here for long to tickle us more. That just brings me to another point where laughter doesn't always reflect internal jot. Comedians only make people laugh but can't give joy. In such parts of the world people idolize Hollywood actors and actresses however the actors and actresses seem not to have the sense of contentment and seek fulfilment from DRUGS. SAD several have now died thank God so...

Dollars 4 gold(cont..)

So in Salgaa as the road kills many and the ladies continue with their trade 'the oldest profession', 'thought agriculture was' on one side of the town we have Rongai town. What about Rongai?? Rongai has the large (understatement) transport company called just that Rongai, there are large(again understated)  farms growing wheat and maize, others having green houses. Also in Rongai, a great girls school of the calibre of Starehe Boys School, mmh! So some rat tells me that's the problem, the gap between the rich and the poor. NO!! Remember Singapore? A small land that is very rich. Earl Nightingale says in his recording of the greatest secret says that the things we should value are the things we receive for free e.g. our brains. The Nakuru -Nairobi highway is rumored to have high rates of corruption from men in blue what I assume to be of people being in the wrong career. Money saved is money earned, a lot is lost through corruption. Singapore had to put tha...

GOLDen Today at 10 am at Greenland Resource Center, can't wait. Salgaa, I am shocked this town is not in the dictionary. Still in Molo, Salgaa is a town almost synonymous with grisly road accidents. I play my part small it might be, I pray, religious leaders I think more on those direction. Salgaa and it's environs has hit the headlines maaany times mainly because of accidents. The town is also infamous because of prostitution which is rampant along most highway towns in Kenya. Some believe that the cause of the accidents is sexual immorality. I believe the important part is as Jesus said we ought to love one another as we love ourselves. I have a problem with single parenthood especially where both parents are alive, I mean why get children you can't be therefore. As it is said children spell love as T I M E, most of these girls on the highway I believe is mainly due to lack of love when they were young. Busy world people running to and fro mostly in what is calle...
