Wataenda wapi? They must engage the local community or ship out, hakuna kubembeleza beberu.

Engage in what? They are already being arrested. Hawa wakijazwa viboko mbili tatu, watarudi tuu. Na once Wewe @captain obvious uanze kuhata chai ya asubuhi, you will shift allegiances.

They are profit driven…Not a charity. This is not their sole source of income bro…But it’s their employees’ only source.

The association said the burning of police vehicles, tea plucking machines, and tractors, as injuries to workers and policemen have not only endangered lives but have also hampered business operations of the various companies involved.

Si they just leave basi, ama how hard is it? If a factory no longer benefits the community around it then it’s useless. Choma hio kitu. There are several crops that can replace the tea.

Why didn’t you say so?.. They can generate enough foreign exchange in the $$$ market? :D:D:D

Foreign currency exchanges, called swaps, allow countries to essentially borrow more widely used currencies like the U.S. dollar to plug temporary shortages in foreign reserves. They are intended for liquidity purposes, not to build things, and last for only a few months.
In Kenya, the government has held back paychecks to thousands of civil service workers to save cash to pay foreign loans. The president’s chief economic adviser tweeted last month, “Salaries or default? Take your pick.”
