Following Martha Karua’s unprecedented move to take the principals head on abroad, Kenyans would benefit a lot by borowing her deadly venom. For starters we need her steely guts to confront the myriad calamities that have taken permanent residence within our borders.
Here are 10 time-tested strategies we can adopt to see us overcome them:
1. Complain bitterly about cost of living to anyone within earshot
2. Harbor deep bitterness and resentment angrily within because of country’s state of affairs
3. Don’t shower or bath-just “splash” necessary area
4. Rising food prices-loose weight freely due to food shortage
5. Read trusted Standard newspaper now only once a week save on shillings
6. Power rationing-can’t watch always trusted KTN
7. Biting drought-drill borehole in backyard due to water shortage
8. Ration phone air-time- use smoke signals to communicate with friends and family
9. Endure nightmare traffic jams while road rage builds slowly due to unruly roads
10. Discover uchumi wa kadogo-enjoy small packets of essentials from neighbouring slums Kumekucha
