From GRACE to grass: The fall of a Mumias Empire.

In 2007, after I voted in my village, I boarded a vehicle through Mumias, and at around 3 PM on election day, chaos had already started.

Rowdy youths had barricaded the Mumias bus terminus, burning tyres and ballot boxes.

Then, ballot boxes were black in colour and concealed.

The boxes with ballot papers were strewn in the terminus.

The rowdy youths were chanting,

"Thiro must go!"

"Gathe must go!"

Mumias town, unbeknownst to many, was the first place that ignited the 2007 violence.

Thiro was a businessman in Mumias. He owned a popular Supermarket called "Jamii Yako", and Gathe owned a chain of wholesale shops, including shoe and soda depots.

Thiro and Gathe were tycoons with immense political and business influence in Mumias town.

So, when word went round that Kibaki's premarked ballot papers were hidden in Thiro's supermarket, the youths stormed the shop, looted it, carried away the ballot boxes and burned the supermarket, including Gathe's shops.

They didn't stop there.

They went to their palatial homes, which were sitting beside each other in Lukoye estate, just opposite Lukoye mosque, and burned them.

Next to these houses was a church affiliated with Thiro or Gathe. The church was also razed down.

This was happening on election day.

Then, when tension escalated, Thiro, Gathe, their families, friends and relatives fled to Bungoma, which was a PNU zone.

That is how Thiro found himself in Bungoma.

In Mumias, Thiro was a peacock who strutted in the town with so much pomposity, a cigarette between his fingers, money in his pocket and thriving businesses including lorries and PSV matatus.

The Wangas alleged that because of his promiscuous lifestyle, he was living with HIV and had infected a lot of women in Mumias town, Shibale and Mumias Sugar Estate.

His other problem was his disgruntled wife, who was always moody at the Supermarket's cashier desk.

She was a fat, tired woman, always angry with Thiro, customers and staff. It was also alleged that she was moving around with younger men from Mjini and Shibale, Mumias.

When Thiro arrived in Bungoma in 2008, he couldn't restart.

Newer, young and energetic Kikuyu men had taken the competition a notch higher. The ground was level in Bungoma, and therefore, Thiro had no choice but to compete.

He couldn't.

He lost hope.

He lost the fight.

He lost the glamour.

He sank into alcoholism, promiscuity, diabetes, hypertension and depression.

His social media antics were a camouflage to escape the pit he had dug for himself.

He lost his empire.

He fell.

From grace to grass.

What a tragedy!

Top 10 CV Revamping Tips

📌 1. Customize Your CV
Each job is unique, and your CV should be too! Tailor it to fit the specific job description and requirements.

📌 2. Start with Action Verbs
Use verbs like "initiated," "executed," or "enhanced" to showcase your achievements. This highlights your initiative and makes your CV stand out.

📌 3. Consistent Formatting is Key
Keep your formatting clean and organized. Avoid clutter, maintain consistent font sizes, and ensure bullet points are aligned.

📌 4. Highlight Certificates
Showcase any relevant certifications or professional qualifications. These enhance your credibility and demonstrate your commitment to learning.

📌 5. Proofread Thoroughly
Don't let small mistakes tarnish your image. Double-check your CV and ask someone else to review it for any errors.

📌 6. Don’t Ignore Keywords
Use keywords from the job description to pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Focus on industry terms and role-specific jargon.

📌 7. Quantify Your Results
Show the impact of your work with numbers! Instead of vague claims, say things like "reduced costs by 15%."

📌 8. Prioritize Recent Experience
Hiring managers care most about your latest roles. Focus on recent positions and keep older experiences brief.
