Western Kenya,
Luhya Land is endowed with fertile soils and predictable, sufficient rainfall.
The weather is friendly and supports agricultural activities, both crop farming and livestock keeping.
But you will meet young Luhya men begging for money to buy tomatoes, yet he left an idle 1-acre land at home lying fallow and unattended.
Then, you'll see him at the local market betting and expecting millions of shillings overnight.
He has no hen or goat to his name. He still eats in his mother's house.
He has a Form 4 certificate or even a college certificate, but the only thing he does is ride motorbikes.
The motorbike industry is useless. It builds no economy. It, in fact, drains the microeconomy of the family.
For example, when they get involved in an accident, it is the family that will foot for the medical bills incurred, not the motorcycle.
Young Luhya men have massive masculine energy, which should be expended on building, constructing, or farming.
When this energy is not used, it becomes negative energy that can be misused for political thuggery, violence, or crime.
These young Luhya men sit at the local market, wasting their man-hours in the name of boda boda.
By the end of the day, if you ask them what they achieved, they have nothing to show for the time they spent riding these bikes.
The following day, they have no coin in their pocket, and the cycle repeats.
By the end of their riding career, they will be poorer than they were before engaging in this non-productive industry.
Western Kenya has the potential to feed the entire country, but it is now becoming a beggar's region.
70% of the fresh food sold in the local markets is from Uganda or Tanzania.
When politicians of a community are fat, docile, effeminate and alcoholic, a whole community loses direction.
It is shameful!
Luhya Men,
LISTEN,
CHANGE OR PERISH

@justinawamae Presidential petitions strengthen our institutions including the IEBC and Judiciary. Whatever the outcome will be democracy should take it's course
This is the day TANGATANGA MPs LED BY ADEN DUALE passed the current TAXES. They RIGGED the VOTE LIVE on TV. But they are now crying with you on social media, CASTIGATING the government and like a fool, you fall for their hypocrisy. This video is vintage. Know your true enemies
