Whoever came up with the phrase cheap is expensive certainly never fueled at Astrol Petrol Station.
1. It is 100% Kenyan, founded in 2000 by the late Thayu Kamal Kabugi and is now run by the son, James Mwangi.
2. They not only own the land their stations are built on to cut costs but also manage their stations directly rather than franchising.
3. Their fuel contains a high 91 PON rating, which is higher than the premium fuels around, including V-Power.
4. They are not only 2 - 7 shillings cheaper but also never hoard fuel whenever there are shortages.
We don’t appreciate such companies enough
A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it in the hallway.
The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon.
Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon, At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it.
Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon. The teacher said to the students, "These balloons arelike happiness.
We will never find it if everyone is
looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."
May your day be filled with happiness!🎉

Change is something that we give birth to, all of us. And in calling for that change, while it is important that we criticise our leaders, we have to equally get the courage to look inwards and challenge our own tendencies as a people.
Onduko Rosasi: A broad-based government is where everybody is heard, a broad-based government is where anyone who is willing to work hard can be rewarded. The quality of governance is constrained by the quality of its leaders. I think the President has not been truthful and considerate to think about people, service delivery and just to get the job right #CitizenMondayReport @TrevorOmbija
