The bitter part of SGR

       THE BITTER PART OF SGR

We all expected SGR to bring a lot of changes in the economy of our county but what happened to the ones who depended on trucks? Now that most of the goods are transported by trains the ones who depended on trucks do not have what to do. They end up losing jobs that is the drivers due to lack of jobs. Some of them have driven this trucks for many years and since the SGR came by which we taught will be a big relief to our economy has caused damage to their lives. Since they lacked jobs they don't have what to depend on. Imagine these families what they are going through whereby you just wake up one day and you don't have a job and you have to take care of your family that's paying school fees, rent, food and many other essential things. This led to them going on strike complaining on how they are suffering.
The owners of the trucks had even taken loans so as to buy those trucks knowing that they will pay their debts but their business just collapses from nowhere and you're left with nothing buy a very big loan to pay. How do you even start a new business yet you have no capital and at the same time you have a loan to pay. The only thing you're left with is with the truck which goes nowhere because they can no longer transport goods and you can not sell them since they have no value. This has brought a very big lose to them and what they are going through is very saddening. 
They say since the SGR their business trips has reduced and they are the ones to wait for goods compared to the days when they used to travel for days. The truckers container freight stations and clearing agencies have continue to count loses with some logistics stations companies retorted to have resorted to restructuring.

Many have been affected while others are being affected. As much as it is causing death and many other effects in our body our economies are also going to be affected. The disease is causing much trouble each and every time. Our economy is going to be affected in such a way that there will be low purchase of goods and  services. This is because the movement of people is limited hence no one is buying goods being offered. Since travelling has been limited in some countries that is public transport for example in Wuhan in China those who depend on it are suffering since they have nothing else to do now that there is no travelling by the time the corona comes to an end many will be poor perhaps especially those depending on businesses since many have been closed to prevent ...

Everyone is crying about this pandemic which no one knows the truth about it but let's see what damage it has done to the normal business people at the village.

THE SECRET HISTORY OF MY UNIVERSITY LIFE

      THE SECRET HISTORY OF MY UNIVERSITY LIFE Everyone has a different story about their university life. We have those who enjoy and those who do not it all depends. Changing the environment and trying to cope up with it and new people is  among the hardest things in life. September 2018 was the month and the year where I had to cope with my new life. Finding new friends was so hard now that I was an introvert. The only friends I had were my roommates and the environment itself was hell now that I was from Western and everything is totally different from Mombasa. "Joto ya Mombasa nayo" was too much. Imagine bathing four times a day because of the hot environment.  "Just work hard and go to the university there is no reading" when I remember this words I feel like beating someone. I realized in matters to do with education it's very hectic all those assignments and yet you have to balance it with social life like going to the beach and all other so...
