It's abit more complex that that. When fuel went up the first time most may guys took a hit
Sai they have no wiggle room
Example
Mat YA 33 seater does 6kml
Going to kite is 40kml coz of traffic kosokoso the car can do 4 so on average it needs 10ltrs for that trip
Which is 2500
Now the real math
A mat carries 33 people .at 100 Bob 25 seats will go to fuel
Then the rest crew .
Owner haoni kitu
Bado Kuna service,insurance,Sacco,semiconductors,repairs et all.150 translates to 4950sh -half of this goes to fuel which is still bad .
Parts of Wajir County have been experiencing flash floods in the last couple of days.
These flooding rains were predicted by the models as early as Feb this year
The peak of the MAM rainy season in #Kenya normally occurs in the last two weeks of April.
As we enter the second half of the month, medium range weather forecasting models output graphics depict heavy to very heavy rains in most Counties of #Kenya within the two weeks ending 02/05.
GFS ECMWF and the US-AI are in concurrence that heavy rains (up to 350mm in some places) may fall in Western, Nyanza and parts of Central Rift valley within the forecast period. This points to a high likelihood of disruptive rainstorms in these areas.
Central, #Nairobi, Mt Kenya massif, North Eastern, the Coast and Ukambani regions receive moderate to heavy rains in the same period.
Things about to get really interesting for physical scientists. Eastleigh has a land subsidence rate of 30mm per year. Water level deepening of 2-3m per year. Boreholes density is 20m apart at some locations. Depths to 450m. 30 floors is doubling the pop density & unit load.
We are witnessing the rise of a generation of women who struggle with the most fundamental aspects of home management—women who, even after months or years of living with a man, cannot decide what will be eaten in their own home.
Our mothers planned meals with precision, sometimes weeks or even months in advance. They understood the art of preparation, the discipline of foresight. A goat bought in February was not just a purchase—it was a long-term plan, a future delicacy that would be served with pride in December. Food was never an afterthought; it was a structured, intentional decision.
But today? Hawa, hata kujua supper ya leo ni shida. You come home after a long day—after hustling, paying bills, securing a future—only to be met with a blank stare and the dreaded question: “Tunakula nini?” And mind you, they have money. It’s not about lack; it’s about an absence of responsibility, an erosion of initiative.
Beyond the kitchen, the situation worsens. Cleanliness—once a basic expectation—is now a debatable topic. Many of the same women who curate perfect aesthetics for social media live in spaces that would shock you. Unmade beds, piled-up dishes, cluttered rooms—yet they’ll still post about “soft life.” And the most alarming part? If you dare to point it out, even gently, you’re met with hostility. Conversations that should lead to self-improvement turn into arguments. Something as simple as cleaning a home, washing clothes, or tidying up is now framed as oppression. Then, when things fall apart, they wonder why they are being left.
It’s a contradiction of expectations. They want men who provide, protect, and lead, just like our fathers did. But they themselves are nowhere close to the women our mothers were. And when you highlight this, they recoil in offense, claiming, “We are not our mothers.” But I can’t help but ask—are you not proud of your mothers? Because if you can compare men to their fathers, why do you resist being measured against the women who raised you?
We now have a generation that has lost even the most basic instinct to make a decision and stand by it. A generation that confuses convenience with progress, that believes avoidance is the same as independence. And in the end, homes are crumbling—not because of external pressures, but because the foundational roles that once held them together are now treated as outdated burdens instead of responsibilities worth embracing.
