I work for a magazine thats looking for a good humour writer. Real original humour writing like (or better than) what Whispers used to do. You know since his death,no paper has an humour column. We want to fill this gap. Anyone here who can,or you can refer me to someone you know. Good payment awaits the candidate..

No one should read this,sorry if you have read it already,you can unread it...

@Chemos
Njung'e can narrate the story to someone else as he zooms his truck through the Kericho tea plantations...and this someone else can do the writing,alafu they share the spoils later. BTW,Njung'e 'might' have the humour without writing skills..and he may also have the hidden skills..you never know! hehe

I also vouch for Njunge...and if that fails (i.e. if he surmises driving a lorry is more lucrative) could you provide an email address? I know someone who had a humour column in the Sunday Standard for a while and has freelanced in Nation/Standard on a wide range of topics....

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

If interested drop me an email and at least one piece (max 450 words) on amunga17@yahoo.com. Someone recommended 2us Sunday Nation's Mwalimu Andrew but we are looking for someone original,with fresh new humour that appeals to ppl of all ages - and pls,no tribal stereotypes.

@Waria Mwalimu rocks yeah,but me opinion is he's humour can only be understood and related to by people of a certain age,wale either wamegrow-ia gichagi or know rural life the likes ya kina guka,Wendz (i guess) etal,sasa mtu amezaliwa nakuru town gishagi ni ongata rongai,one has to imagine and paint the village he is talking about.

BTW i read his articles alot n i love 'em.
