My wife used to tell me how so upset with the state of our country. And every time I tell her you just never give up.
Of late, I doubt I have the strength to defend it...
Am I the only one having this bad feeling?
1. wheat vs bread,
2. maize vs maize flour
3. police vs bribes,
4. fuel vs cost of production
5. You name it etc
Just accept and move on...
It could be worse....... drinking that concoction found in nyahururu where guys were making milk from formalin and Urea...
@chemos it my look far fetched but the concoction story was a business manipulation. Think this way,
To increase mkt share for the packed milk introduce the scare tactic that hawked milk is not real milk but chemical.
As every Wanjiku tries to be a budding farmer who has one dairy cow which produces excess milk for her consumption and has to sell the rest. Mkt share for Tuzo/KCC shrinks.
Tell Odhiambo, Wanjiku's milk is purely chemicals hence don't touch thus increased demand for Tuzo/KCC leading to price elasticity and viola milk price increases and a monopolist created as wanjiku has to sell her excess milk to a company at a throw away price and who in turn has got a ready demanding market.
All i am saying this is manipulation for the benefit of one business entity.
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence
