Dairy Farmers In Kenya Cry Foul As President Uhuru Giant Milk Company Lowers Prices of Raw Milk

10013931-1472535642959166.jpg Farmers are crying foul as milk prices have been drastically reduced to Kshs.32 a litre. Meanwhile the price of processed milk retails at a whopping Kshs.90 per litre which means that Uhuru's company makes a profit of at least Kshs.40 a litre. Uhuru a shrewd businessperson surely knows how to milk the citizenry. He first began this scheme to milk the people by buying up all the giant milk production companies. As of today, Uhuru and his Brookside company which swallowed up Molo Milk, Delamere dairies among others controls 60% of all the milk products in Kenya. Farmers will soon be meeting at various centres to determine the next step and have vowed not to continue enriching the Kenyatta family.

And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him.
