IT IS NYAMAKIMA AND KAMUKUNJI TRADERS WHO DELIVERED THEIR CUSTOMERS TO CHINA SQUARE.

 Cheng Lei of China square and Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders embarked on a journey to visit a certain village deep inside Ukambani. When they arrived there , they found a dusty and beaten villagers. Hungry and emaciated and they had no shoes. Barefoot!!!! Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders saw poor people who cannot afford shoes because they are poor. If they can't afford food , how can they afford to buy shoes. So , they wrote off this villagers and retreated back to Nairobi. Cheng Lei on the other hand saw am opportunity. Instead of writing them off , he decided to bring cheaper shoes from her motherland China. The first batch of shoes she brought in that village, villagers swept them all. Cheng Lei made a serious business to people Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders sneered and disparaged. 

This is the analogy that is currently happening at China square. This mall was making million of shillings everyday. It offered many consumers a shoulder to lean on after being abused , misused and re-used. For a long time , the Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders have been taking advantage of by exorbitantly selling goods for them at higher prices yet the goods sold are grade 6 from china. This is equivalent to counterfeits in China but in Kenya, the innocent Kenyan snaking him/herself in this trading centres will be presented to them as if they are original products. Savage!!I wonder why should Anti-counterfeit Authority (ARA) raid China square and confiscate goods worth sh 50 Million them within a span of 24 hours, they release the goods and give them a clean bill of health. Why should they do that when they know where counterfeits are found? They are held by those who closed their shops and went to demonstrate but they have been accusing the opposition of planning to hold demonstrations. Laughable!!!!



The irony is , the Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders who spent the whole day demonstrating and engaging the anti riot police in running battles imports their goods from Guangzhou and Shanghai in China. They combine to import a container since majority of them are small scale traders who can't afford to fill a whole container on their own. Now , it is in this backdrop that Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) have decided to wreak havoc on them. Instead of demonstrating and get reprieve, the government drove the last nail in the coffin of their miseries. Will they hold another demo this time to demonstrate against KRA and not Cheng Lei? The doors in China square has opened wide open. Kenyans have thronged there in monumental proportions and I think Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders have seen it. Customers look for both price and quality but not necessarily quantity. Taste and preference is what drives customers to where they will pitch tent. But wait , did we experience any demonstrations in Eastleigh? No. Why?

There is nothing special Cheng Lei is giving his customers. Nothing special. Is he giving them goods for free ? No. Has he complied with all the legal requirements to operate business in Kenya as a foreigner? Absolutely. But what is that which is doing to his customers that have made them to be attracted like a powerful horse shoe magnet? It is simple, giving  consumers value for their money. You can't see a product at exorbitant prices yet the goods are equivalent to counterfeits. China square is selling half the price of goods soldier in Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders. Kenya being a free market economy where the government has very little say in dictating the prices of goods and services. What I am trying to say is , the Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders should try to be honest with their customers and their dealings. Consumers realized where their monies is being respected.

In the nutshell , the consumer is the the one who is benefiting here and even big. China square have come to offer reprieve. Prices of goods and even the authenticity of this goods sold both at China square and those sold at Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders. So , it is the latter who chased away their customers and the former saw that lacuna and exploited it to his advantage. Cheng Lei didn't do any miracle. He didn't use magic spell but just by being honest and giving consumers what they deserve is all that which is different. For Nyamakima and Kamukunji traders to elope back their customers, they only need to sell original products and in a reasonable prices. Simple!!!!

RIGATHI GACHAGUA ; THE TONGUE RASHING RUNNING MATE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD

Image
Rigathi Gachagua is one individual who , when he puts his tongue into motion , he leaves the hearts of many soiled , both who support Ruto and those who doesn't support him. Is it the time William Ruto should realize he made a very fatal political mistake by picking Rigathi Gachagua? I know he looked his deep pockets , his mobilization skills , his braveness in hurling scathing attacks and disparaging remarks towards the President and his family and to some extent , Kenyatta's close associates. He forgot that , with a microphone , Rigathi is worse than an ISIS militia holding an Rocket Propelled Grenade ( RPG). There is disquiet in UDA and the whole Kenya Kwanza Alliance family. They are angry by the recent Gachagua's outbursts. They are making their work more difficult , extremely very difficult. For every 50 votes they marshall in Ruto's favour , once Gachagua opens his mouth , 40 votes vanish because they don't resonate and agree with his outbursts. Is Ruto telli...

NO NEED OF THREATS; KENYANS ARE JUST MAKING A COMMUNIQUE TO THEIR GOVERNMENT AND LEADERS.

Image
T his afternoon , I have seen a video clip of Uasin Gishu County commissioner Dr Edison Nyale threatening chiefs and their assistant chiefs for not working hard in mobilizing residents in their respective locations and sub locations to attend the Jamhuri Day celebrations that took place yesterday at Kapsoya secondary school ground. From that video , the County Commissioner looks and sounds someone who is agitated, irritated and bitter. Wananchi waliususia mkutano wa Mtemi Bokono. Hivyo basi , Mtemi hakufurahishwa na Jambo Hilo hata kidogo. At the same time , the Governor of Uasin Gishu Hon Jonathan Bii aka Koti moja was present and from his end , he accused the ward co-ordinators for failing to mobilize residents to attend those celebration. It is hilarious to see , the administrative and political wings are blaming people who ought not to be blamed.  Days are gone when the Chiefs act was being used effectively in this Country. We in the new century and generation. You cannot apply...

WHY THE CHURCH HAS LOST IT ALL?

Image
  T he church of late has found itself in the receiving end. It has auctioned the pulpit it should be protecting it , they have offered it to the political elites. Today , it is very difficult to know , which shepherd is genuinely leading the sheep to the light and the one leading them to the dark. Money laundering has now become rampant in churches. Those who have been in the front to propagate that vice is the clergy and a section of political elites. They organise for fictious projects and tag the cost too high. Since they know their congregants aren't in a position to raise it , their pastors/ vicars/ reverends/ Fathers organise for a church fundraise and invite leading politicians who inturn bring the monies in liquid form and not through cheque. If the real cost of the project is sh 2.5 Million , they will ensure that fundraise gets more than that amount. The church will take its share and the other , they give back to the politicians to engage in another business like that. ...
