Traditional hotspots za election violence will be peaceful. Eldoret, Kuresoi, Turbo, molo, nakuru etc all will be well. Where weâre sure will burn are Kondele, kibira, mathare valley, chemelil, kilifi and maybe cherengany. But itâs important to note that it wouldnât be burning as such but will be more of venting after a loss. Police will easily handle the chaos

PEV 2008 a chick from Huruma a former colleague in college came to seek shelter in our home. Their parents had divided their children to their kin around Central.

I wouldnât like another Pev to happen though

Sameer Africa Ltd, the makers of Yana tyres, is shutting down its Nairobi plant and sending home hundreds of workers. The manufacturer will from September 30 stop production of Yana brand tyres and allied products at the Sameer Africa factory in Nairobi in what is a big blow to Kenyaâs efforts to boost its under-performing manufacturing sector.
Cheap imported tyres from China and India have heavily eaten into Yana tyresâ market share, leaving it will with little option but close shop. The manufacture will instead shift its production base to China and India as it seeks to navigate the countryâs high cost of production.

New Delhi: Heavy debt and high energy costs have forced the worldâs second-largest soda ash maker Tata Chemicals Ltd (TCL) to mothball its loss-making premium soda ash plant at Magadi in Kenya. This will lead to 200 employees being laid off, the company said in a recent analyst call.
Mothballing refers to the preservation of a facility without using it for production, for possible restoration when conditions improve. Production at the standard ash plant in Magadi, though, will continue.

Milk prices hit a new high this week with a half-litre pouch retailing at Sh70, raising new concerns of super profits by processors.
A top retailer says processors are earning twice as much as farmers in April when prices were lower.
Two of the biggest processing firms have blamed the price hike on short supply, a claim bitterly contested by dairy farmers.
âThese companies are benefiting at the expense of farmers and consumers,â said Joshua Bungei, the chief executive of a network of farmers known as Lelbren.[/I]

By Gerald Andae
Maize flour (unga) prices are unlikely to come down until July when the stock of grain available locally is expected to meet the countryâs needs, millers said, setting up consumers for two and half more months of pain at the shop.
Industry lobby, the Cereal Millers Association (CMA), said in a statement that the steep rise in the stapleâs prices is the result of a severe scarcity that is unlikely to be resolved until enough imported stocks land in the country.
The CMA said the consignment of maize expected to land in Mombasa today is not sufficient to stop ongoing price inflation.

[SIZE=6]Traders in Kenya feel the pinch as commodity prices rise[/SIZE]
April 7, 2017 Agri-Economics, Finance, Latest News
Kenyan traders are feeling the pinch of rising commodity prices as consumers keep off a number of basic goods, which are slowly becoming a luxury.
From food to clothes to fuel, prices of most basic items have hit an all-time high pushing thousands of families to the edge.
The cost of maize flour, for instance, stands at a record high of 1.5 U.S. dollars for a 2kg pack, the highest ever in the history of the produce in the country.
On the other hand, a 500ml packet of milk is currently going for 0.6 dollars, a 6 percent rise from a similar period last year.
The price of kerosene has risen by 21 percent to 0.68 dollars a litre, coriander 60 percent to 1.1 dollars for a kilo, sugar 17 percent, potatoes 30 percent, dry maize 30 percent and spinach 30 percent, among others.
Kenyans are very encouraged by such happenings, they are lining up to kiss your leadersâ feet.

So in your opinion all this happened in the course of the last 4.5yrs? Like really? These are the problems the jubilee administration has been trying to solve.
Why havenât you mentioned the reviving of the webuye paper mills?, the kenyan made automobile, the bringing in of VW and pugot vehicle assembly plants, the effort in reducing the cost of energy by supplementing/adding of new power generating plantsâŚthe expansion of the ports.
Your negativity towards Kenya makes you blind to the lovely things that are happening right infront of your eyes!
