Kericho MCA's allocated themselves squatters' land,The Governor held a Presser asking for the titles to be revoked and they now want to Impeach him for the 3rd time. I have never seen greedy MCAs like the ones we have in Kericho.

I never got a chance to work at Nation Media Group full time, though I was published there a number of times, under my name and a few pseudonyms(full disclosure). It was the dream company to work for when I was young, aspiring journalist, still in college. I remember after college attending an interview there, with hopes of getting a correspondent at their Kisii Bureau. If that had worked well, the idea was to marry a Nyaboke or a Kerubo, a secondary school teacher, and first born angekuwa 15 years now, almost sitting for the high school exams. I flunked the interview. I don't know who was picked for the role. I somehow ended in South Sudan, Chad and Central African Republic doing all manner of things to survive(including baking bread and starting a newspaper in Juba). Oh man, ujana ni moshi. It wasn't until two years later that I got a chance to work in a newsroom, this time round at the Standard Group, a job I got purely because of my blogging and being a nuisance to the editors. My trick was simple: any editor who dared print my unsolicited article risked receiving a torrent of articles, nonstop. Njaa ni mbaya. I need to say that back then, the economy used to work and you could be paid anything between Sh 5,000-15,000. Then Uhuru Kenyatta took over and another Presidential candidate was put in charge Communication, and the media started to die, before digital media came to bury mainstream media. The Standard Group was a good place for me, and I will always remain grateful for the opportunity, however short-lived it was. I had all the creative freedom with minimal editorial interference. The pieces I used to send to the Nation used to be watered down, all the spicy language stripped down, almost to turgid levels, to meet their rigid editorial standards. Standard paid better than Nation did for staff writers my level(at that particulat time). But Nation carried a certain prestige. Admittedly, more people read the Nation. In my younger freelancing days, when my article appeared on the Nation, I would get so many calls compared to when an article appeared in The Standard. Over time I outgrew the urge to work in Nation, and after that interview after college, I was never quite keen. But I deeply respected Nation Media as a stickler to journalistic standards, superb editorial standards, impartiality and objectivity. They were not a perfect media house. Ownership sometimes demands media house toe the line, more so, in support of the government, or in deed, no media enterprise is above biases. But Nation easily tried their best. Like any old man, we knew the Aga Khan hand did help shield the Nation from the pettiness of rulers in Kenya. Now, we have sunk so low to a point Tanzanians are buying us out. I would have rutoed for a Kenyan to buy it, seeing as Nairobi is the headquarters of their operations but the Tanzanian billionaire has bought it. I don't expect that they will maintain their standards. Most likely, it will become a propaganda tool for some entities, and once they are done with, they will discard it. The Nation Media Group, once iconic building may become stalls full of Chinese knock offs, mitumba, and selling zile perfume za kupima na tuchupa tudogo. That is in mid-2029. Sustaining a media house in a fast-evolving environment where very few media houses across the world are making money requires a lot of wisdom, a lot of patience, a certain trust in professionalism, and a sophisticated owner who understands the delicate balance one has to strike. Media is not a normal business. But a looter with loose billions, may not necessarily look at a media house that is a thorn in his flesh as a profit-making venture. But it can help him a bit with skewing the news and his agenda. But it is such a bad time to buy a media house when all the eye balls have moved to social media relegating the media to a secondary source of news. One thing I hate about growing old, you witness a lot of prestigious stuff go down. Be it Nakumatt. Or Tuskies. Or Totenham Hotspur. Hilton. Grand Regency. Or the way Man U nearly got relegated(at least they have tried, they win a few more games they may end up in the top 10). Nothing Lasts Forever. Tuzidi.

Someone just said that Kericho town is a dying town and I agreed with her. Economy ya Kericho ilikuwa imeshikiliwa na tea pickers, plucking machines sacked 10k plus workers. Saa hii inashikiliwa na probox ya Kapsoit

The death of Ngong Ngeno really traumatized our kipsigis community. Deep down, we are okay, but we are hurting.
