Small scale farmers
For two weeks i have been trying to get ferlizer from the Nakuru(Kenya) NCPB Depo without success. But finally a friend called me and gave me a bag to start planting as i await my bag to be processed. Rumours among frustrated farmers who have been camping at the yard for over two weeks told me that a nominated MP from Rift Valley allied to ODM has been allocated 200 thousand bags allegendly to woo voters. But what is striking is the resilience of small scale farmers and especially those from Njoro who ishared a day with during this planting season. and though they have not stolen from anybody there the one's suffering from the MPs actions of impunity and forced to buy an expensive brand from Mea Ltd, another member of fertilzer cartel in Kenya which distributes at almost double the amount a bag costs at an NCPB depo. Which brings me to the question why Kenyans get emotional with their so called leaders who dont reciprocate these emotions.For am planning to get a nice nyahunyo and wait at the parliament gate and go the ghetto radio way nyahunyo nyahu nyahu, because i dont think i placard is enough.
