Here’s a simple, practical way to redistribute wealth effortlessly - straight from your pocket back to your own people:
If you’re working in the city but your roots are in the village where family or neighbors still keep cows and till the land, stop buying Brookside milk. Period.
Start buying milk from your own cows (or your uncle’s, cousin’s, or neighbor’s cows) back home. Over a year it will always be cheaper than the packaged stuff, even after transport.
Get a decent fridge, buy cheap tamper-proof plastic bottles (they’re everywhere), have someone back home bottle the milk properly, then send it to you the same way Jiji or Kilimall sellers ship goods - by bus, matatu parcel services, or boda boda networks that already exist.
Do the same with groceries. That idle shamba back home? Put it to work. Get the relatives or neighbors who are “just sitting” in the village to grow maize, beans, sukuma wiki, tomatoes, onions, potatoes - whatever you usually buy from the supermarket. You finance the seeds and inputs if needed, they do the farming, you become their guaranteed buyer at a fair price. Ship the produce to the city using the same cheap transport networks.
Every month you’re no longer enriching shareholders and venture capitalists. You’re paying your own people directly. Their income rises, your cost of living drops, and the village economy gets oxygen.
Break the supermarket spell. Your money should go home first.
@HonMoses_Kuria Most Mt. Kenya elected representatives are tugeges........ You're right MK..... enterprise is in their DNA and those heading GoK know it....... They're bought to pass bills in the legislative house!
@HonMoses_Kuria All schools have their gazetted heads.........the so called ghost schools are known! Why haven't we seen some "heads" get arrested?? Hizi zote ni drama. If the SHA heads are the ones who own ghost hospitals, who do you expect are the owners of those ghost schools?
@hon_wamuchomba Some idlers are here criticizing Hon. Wwmuchomba, yet they're proponents of the ongoing "empowerment" by Ruto and Kindiki.........who have mud classrooms in their backyard.
This is money that's being put into good use.
