The burning Nyandarua ranges

last week was not a good one for Nyandarua as the ranges famously known as Aberdare were on fire casting a smoky shadow over the county side. It is believed that the residents or more appropriately the ranges neighbors usually light this fire annually during the dry spell to insure that the rains come. Ironically it has contributed to scarcity of rain as the forest is never allowed to grow

the ranges are a the source of several rivers notably River Malewa which gives a lifeline to Nyandarua residents and those of Nakuru. Its therefore a sad story viewing the mountain burn



fire on Aberdare ranges


I did not seem to notice any one attempting to put off the fire despite a few calls by local leaders for the national government to assist. The ranges are a national resource so it beats comprehension why the national government should be persuaded to put off the fire. It is its duty to make sure that the fire doesn't start in the first place.



The ranges are not only beautiful to view they are also the home of many animals in its national park.
The protection deserved of such a national reserve can not be overemphasized

THE WORLD MOVES TOO FAST......BUT

This world moves too fast... The world has been moving too fast, probably even too fast for some of us to fully comprehend the reason for it. When I was too small to even know whether the earth even ever moved at all,a year took too long to end.. I would write the date ending in the same manner for too long and when the teacher said I had written the year wrongly, I would not understand when the year stopped from being 74 to 75. We had been ending with 74 all along, for almost what seemed like an eternity. In hindsight I wonder why the teacher found it unnecessary to explain why we were all of a sudden changing the date from what we had always known it to be. In the rare event when I found myself in a moving vehicle, the telephone posts along the road together with the vegetation, buildings and any other things alongside them would seem to be traveling backwards at terrific speeds, making the ride quite spectacular. It never happens anymore. The tractor driver wa...

MR SHARDRACK

Mr.. shardrack There were many things i did not like about Mr Shardrack. He used to talk too much and create big issues out of small ones . Even when he had said nothing funny or amusing to anybody he would laugh loudly and start another story about his antics when he was drunk. “I remember one time back home , we had taken two full cups of sham each, then added a few bottles of tusker, man i was walking from one side of the road to another…… singing circumcision songs vigorously” he would say “ You should cut down on sham mister “ i tried to venture “ you know that is the night i swam in bad water by the roadside” he went on Shardrack never ceased to to talk about his crazy drinking escapades, he really liked his brew  than any thing else and his talks were usually sprinkled with politics. he could make good enough analysis of what was happening in the country although not good enough for someone with a degree in agriculture. may be what he did best was to teach mathematics to hi...
