NAKURU BLANKETS manufactured wool garments & fabrics like blankets, yarn, and sweaters.
The raw material came from Merino sheep in Molo.
NAKURU was a bubbling industrial town that directly and indirectly employed 300,000 people.
Merino sheep farming in Molo sustained 2,000 farmers.
Pyrethrum farming in Nakuru sustained 3,000 farmers.
Boomers found our industries sustaining our economy, but instead of protecting and incentivizing them, they promoted tribal politics, violence, and corruption, which crippled our local manufacturing industries.
Other industries in Nakuru that collapsed are:
• Pyrethrum Industry
• Kenya Farmers
• Eveready Batteries
• Unga Limited
Nakuru had the most spectacular Agriculture Society of Kenya (ASK) show, only compared to Nairobi.
Nowadays, the Nakuru ASK show is just a pale and hollow shadow of its past.
Politicians have destroyed our dreams, aspirations, and future.
Kenya needs a new breed of politicians.
All these senile boomers, together with their docile X-generation buffoons, must go.

Between 1987 and 1996,
KENYA was the leading exporter of PYRETHRUM. - WORLDWIDE!
30% of the world's Pyrethrum products were from Kenya's Pyrethrum.
Do you know what that meant for Kenya's GDP?
Pyrethrum is used to manufacture repellents, insecticides, and air sprays.
Self-centred politicians vandalized our pyrethrum industry by
• Enacting policies that promoted massive importation of foreign products
• Enacting policies that disincentivized and discouraged the growth of our cash crops.
Locally manufactured sprays and aerosols are heavily taxed, while imported products are given tax exemption.
Senile boomers and X-generation buffoons have killed our dreams, aspirations, and future.
They should all go.

Kenya's state corporations that would have been high-value global brands:
• Uchumi: Kenya's Walmart
• Posta: Kenya's Amazon
• KENATCO: Kenya's Uber
• Nyayo Bus: Kenya's Metro
•Telkom: Kenya's Huawei
• Changamwe Refinery: Kenya's ExxonMobil
• Kenya Literature Bureau: Kenya's Library of Congress
• Kenya Railway: Kenya's Union Pacific
• Post Bank: Kenya's JP Morgan
• National Youth Service: Kenya's G4S
All have been looted.
The people who looted them sit comfortably in the current government as senior officials, while others are governors, senators, and MPs.
How do you expect them to transform Kenya?

Kisumu Cotton Mills (KICOMI) and Rift Valley Textiles (RIVATEX) were Kenya's trailblazers in manufacturing cotton textiles and fabrics.
KICOMI made Kisumu an essential hub for school uniforms. Indians had massive textile godowns like Impala Garments and Nyanza Garments, which made the micro-economy of Kisumu vibrant.
KICOMI sustained the lives of cotton farmers in Siaya and Kisumu.
It is KICOMI that inspired the Luo nation to be skilled tailors.
RIVATEX supported thousands of cotton farmers in Kerio Valley, Baringo, and Pokot.
Eldoret, apart from Kisumu, was the other hub of school uniforms serving the North Rift region.
KICOMI and RIVATEX produced high-quality Kenyan fabrics that reflected our spirit and values as a nation. (See the pictures below.)
RIVATEX even had a football club called Rivatex FC, which was the pride of Eldoret people.
Rivatex FC was the first football club outside Nairobi to win the Moi Golden Cup in 1990.
But today, KICOMI and RIVATEX collapsed. RIVATEX is currently under receivership after being looted by Moi University leadership.
Families who relied on these industries, eg, tailors, sellers, farmers, and fashion designers, were all rendered destitutes.
When these politicians tell you to design a national dress, ask them why our textile industries are dead.
Senile boomers and X-generation buffoons have killed our dreams, aspirations, and future.
They must all go.
Siasa Mbaya, Maisha Mbaya.
