Celebrating my 3rd year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

The recent visit by Kuria East Member of Parliament, Hon. Kitayama, to the State House was met with immense anticipation by the residents of Gwitembe and Ang'ata. For a community besieged by a relentless wave of insecurity—characterized by brutal cattle rustling, violent armed robberies, and a palpable fear that stalks the night—this high-level engagement was seen as a golden, perhaps once-in-a-lifetime, opportunity.

It is, therefore, with a profound sense of disappointment, frustration, and utter betrayal that we learned the plight of Gwitembe was conspicuously absent from the MP's agenda.

This was not merely a missed opportunity; it was a catastrophic failure of leadership and a direct snub to the constituents who live in constant fear. The very purpose of an elected representative is to be the voice of the voiceless in the highest corridors of power. When granted an audience with the President and the top security brass at the State House, the primary duty of any leader from an insecure region should be to articulate the suffering of their people and demand immediate, decisive action.

Instead, Hon. Kitayama chose to address other petty issues. The details of what was discussed remain unclear, but the glaring omission of Gwitembe's security crisis speaks volumes. It suggests a prioritization of other, perhaps more politically expedient, matters over the fundamental right of citizens to life, safety, and property.

The message this silence sends is devastating:

· To the residents of Gwitembe: "Your suffering is not important enough to be mentioned before the Commander-in-Chief."
· To the criminals terrorizing the area: "Your actions have no consequence; you may continue with impunity."
· To the entire constituency: "Our representation is selective, and your security is not a top priority."

We are left with agonizing questions: What could possibly be more urgent than the bloodshed and loss of livelihood plaguing our community? How does one secure a meeting at the heart of Kenya's power and forget the single most pressing issue in their own backyard?

This failure is not just a political misstep; it is a deep moral failing. The people of Kuria East deserve a representative who embodies courage and advocacy, not one who remains mute when it matters most. The hope that was kindled by the prospect of this visit has been extinguished, replaced by the cold reality of neglect.

Our disappointment is immeasurable. We expected a champion; we were met with a deafening silence. The community of Gwitembe and Ang'ata continues to bleed, and its representative, when handed the perfect microphone, chose not to speak. For that, we are not just disappointed—we are disillusioned.

STARTING POULTRY FARMING WITH AS LITTLE AS Ksh.50,000
Starting a poultry farming business with KSh. 50,000 in Kenya is possible, but you’ll need to plan carefully to maximize your budget. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you begin:

1. Choose Your Poultry Farming Model
With KSh. 50,000, you can start small with either:
- **Broilers (Meat Production)** – Fast-growing (ready in 6-8 weeks).
- **Layers (Egg Production)** – Takes longer (5-6 months before laying eggs).
- **Kienyeji/Kuroiler (Dual-Purpose)** – More resilient but slower growth.

**Recommended for beginners:** Start with **broilers** (quicker returns) or **50-100 kienyeji chicks** (lower disease risk).

---

2. Breakdown of Costs (Approximate)**
| **Item** | **Estimated Cost (KSh.)** |
|------------------------------|--------------------------|
| **Day-old chicks (50 broilers or 30 layers)** | 5,000 – 8,000 |
| **Feeds (Starter & Grower)** | 15,000 – 20,000 |
| **Vaccines & Medication** | 3,000 – 5,000 |
| **Brooder (Heating Lamp, Charcoal Jiko)** | 2,000 – 5,000 |
| **Feeding & Drinking Equipment** | 2,000 – 3,000 |
| **Housing (Cheap wood & wire mesh)** | 10,000 – 15,000 |
| **Miscellaneous (Labour, Transport, etc.)** | 3,000 – 5,000 |
| **Total** | **~50,000** |

---
3. Key Steps to Start**
A) Housing (KSh. 10,000 – 15,000)**
- Use locally available materials (wood, wire mesh, iron sheets).
- Ensure proper ventilation and protection from rain, wind, and predators.
- Space: 1 sq. ft per broiler, 2 sq. ft per layer.

B) Buying Chicks (KSh. 5,000 – 8,000)**
- Buy from reputable hatcheries (e.g., Kenchic, Muguku, or local trusted suppliers).
- Start with **50 broilers** or **30 layers/kienyeji chicks**.

C) Feeding (KSh. 15,000 – 20,000)**
- Broilers need **starter (0-3 weeks) & grower (4-6 weeks) feeds**.
- Layers need **starter, grower, and layer feeds**.
- Consider buying in bulk to save costs.

D) Vaccination & Medication (KSh. 3,000 – 5,000)**
- Essential vaccines: **Gumboro, Newcastle, Fowl Typhoid**.
- Deworming & antibiotics for disease prevention.

E) Brooding (KSh. 2,000 – 5,000)
- Use a **charcoal jiko or infrared bulb** for warmth (first 2 weeks).
- Maintain **32-35°C** for chicks.

F) Marketing (Minimal Cost)
- Sell to neighbors, local markets, butcheries, or hotels.
- Use social media (Facebook, WhatsApp) for free advertising.

---

4. Expected Returns
- **Broilers (50 birds)
- Cost per bird: ~KSh. 500 (feed + chick + meds).
- Selling price: KSh. 700-900 per bird.
- **Profit: KSh. 10,000 – 20,000 per cycle (6-8 weeks).

- Layers (30 birds):
- Takes 5-6 months before laying.
- Sells eggs at KSh. 10-15 each (~20 eggs/day = KSh. 200-300 daily).

---

5. Tips to Succeed
✔ Start small and scale up gradually.
✔ Keep records of expenses & sales.
✔ Join poultry farming groups for knowledge sharing.
✔ Maintain hygiene to prevent diseases.

---

Final Thought
With KSh. 50,000, you can start a profitable small-scale poultry farm. Broilers are best for quick returns, while layers/kienyeji provide steady income. Reinvest profits to grow your business!

100,000 MSMEs to Get Ksh50,000 Each in World Bank Program - Ruto

President William Ruto has announced that at least 100,000 Micro and Small Enterprises (MSMEs) will receive a total of Ksh50,000 each in grants following the finalisation of a program by the government in collaboration with the World Bank.
The President announced while speaking on Friday, June 27, during the World MSME Day event at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC). According to Ruto, the grants will be awarded through the Hustler Fund ecosystem.
"We are now working with the World Bank and other partners to see how in that Hustler Fund ecosystem we are working on identifying at least 100,000 Micro Entreprises so that we can give each one of them a Ksh50,000 grant each to be able to scale up their businesses," said President Ruto.
The Head of State said that small enterprises are the engines of Kenya's economic growth as they not only drive innovation but also support livelihoods.
"So immense is the sector’s potential that it creates the largest number of jobs and generates earnings for our young people and women. We are, therefore, focused on unlocking its full capacity through modern infrastructure, progressive policies, and access to affordable credit - to accelerate inclusive and sustainable transformation," he added.

TO AVOID EMBARRASSMENT AND UNNECESSARY PRESSURE IN YOUR LIFE...

1. Put your kids in
schools you can afford
because expensive
schools don't
guarantee good
results. Just ensure
they attend a good
affordable school

2. Rent apartments you
can pay for
conveniently. Don’t live
in a house you struggle
to pay yearly.

3. A man whose wife is
pregnant has good 9
months to prepare,
same as the pregnant
woman in question.
They should even plan
for the worse and only
seek help when they
can’t meet up.

4. Some problems in our
lives don’t just pop up,
if you don't own a
home, we knew we
would pay rents...So its
not an emergency.

5. Let’s plan our lives and
live within our means.
Save more and spend
less.

6. Some women buy food
for their children every
morning before going
to school or even for
the whole family, do
you know it’s cheaper
to cook at home?

7. Some people don’t
earn much, but have
DSTV at home, go for
GOTV and upgrade
when your income
upgrades. It’s still the
same CNN anyway!

8. Eat healthy meals and
protect your family
from mosquitoes to
avoid going to the
hospital always.

9. Take advantage of
food and fruits in
season, its cheaper
and you can be
creative to create
amazing meals.

10.Don’t copy your
neighbor’s lifestyle,
she earns well and her
husband is a ‘big
man’

11. Don’t follow trends,
wear clean well-
ironed clothes and
keep your hair neat.
You would still look
good.

12. Keep your circle
small, keep only
friends that have
senses!

13. Above all things, have
the fear of God, have
integrity, don’t be lazy
and be prayerful.

14. Planning is the key, if
you fail to plan, you
plan to FAIL.
