Mutahi Ngunyi has spoken like a man of ten testicles. Gen Z belong to the devil,it is now clear that it was not all about the Finance Bill.What they clearly want is lawlessness,anarchy and bloodshed,the reason their song ANGUKA NAYO is now trending at the Hollywood,the headquarters of all Satanism that is spread through secular music. Gen Z want President Ruto out of office,what then will follow if not a long civil war?

Already,another group is holding protests ,demanding the reinstatement of the fired CSs including Murkomen and yet another group is agitated that Farah Maalim, and Noordin Haji are being persecuted because of their religion.

Can Gen Z really understand the reason why Kenya is hosting 624,000 grief stricken refugees from South Sudan and Somalia? After the exit of President Ruto,Amadioha forbid,do the Gen Z now expect an Angel Gabriel to come live in statehouse,and give them free non taxable manna?

Tell them to appreciate what they have before they loose it,to Hell with Gen Z.They burned down their schools and they got Half terms. They burned and destroyed items in the Kenyan parliament and in recognition of this most horrible act,they received praise from Hollywood stars now dancing to their Anguka Nayo beats,sending a message that Gen Z are also celebrities in the league of Michael Jackson,Snoop Doggy Doggy and Shakira. Did you not hear the obscene song they composed and sang against the President? Did you not see the female nudity they displayed during the height of the protests? Did you not see the coffins they carried,signifying death and not the good life they claim to be fighting for?

They want to burn down the whole country and make us all run to Tanzania as refugees.Of course we cant run to Uganda because its already full with 1.7 million refugees from South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Even Dedan Kimathi and all the Mau Mau in their graves can tell Gen Z that some things are not worth dying for. Did the Mau Mau get any reward for dying and growing long hairs in the forest?They said Mzungu was bad because he created hell for Africans.They wanted their own black leaders and voluntarily ,the Mzungu decided to leave and now begging the answer to the question, Did the Mau Mau children see the heaven their parents died for?

Look at Nelson Mandela,he just wasted his 27 years of life in Robben Islands and today,South African is the home of the most intense human hatred called Xenophobia.Unlike in America where no one will kill you because you have come to earn money through your sweat,in Mandelas South Africa,they kill job seekers who are blacks like them,just because they come from Mozambique,Kenya or Namibia.With that fact ,Mandela did not achieve anything and so will the Gen Z,even if they suffer and die in millions..

Without caring that Mandela suffered to create an heaven for them,today in South Africa,they are paying more tax and the apartheid is no longer about skin color,but social class that is existing in the whole of Africa,Kenya included .Let Gen Zs and their Sheng language ship out and live in the Utopian paradise they want in America,Canada and other countries where citizens don't pay tax, and their President is an angel from heaven..

Generation Z in Biblical perspective and why you should be more afraid of them
All over the world, Generation Z in Kenya are gaining popularity and admiration especially in Africa, not because they are pushing for an accountable government, but because they are not afraid to challenge the authorities, meaning Mathew 24 is already at work.
Frighteningly enough and the reason to worry is that,Gen Z all over the world will unite,and succeed in achieving whatever they like because apart from their big number,for the whole 24 hours,they have in the palm of their hands, the most sophisticated,powerful and highly modernized communication technology.
Before going on, it is very advisable that in every aspect of life, Bible believers should always use spiritual eyes and not physical eyes to understand, or decipher all the happenings unfolding at this time of history.
Generation Z are trying to sell the idea that they have the power to destabilize the nation,by removing the President from power.It is true,they have that power.
If all the Gen Z ,all of them,can come out to the streets and walk to the statehouse,all the bullets in Kenya and jet fighters cannot stop them or how can anyone stop the massive Limpopo river?Unless they choose to borrow an atomic bomb whereby every one in East and Central Africa will die,Gen Z will show their ugly faces,terror driven by the power of internet technology.
Gen Z want to transform Kenya into a paradise, where people will enjoy the good things of life paying little, or no taxes at all.In other words,Generation Z are envisioning a lawless world, and a world like that is very likely and achievable.
Why should you be very afraid of Generation Z ?
Fear them like thunder because they are being driven by the power of Biblical prophecies 2 Timothy Chapter 3.
To begin with, in the generation of all mankind, Generation Z is the only generation that ever used the power of modern communication technology, to spread messages that challenge authorities,and acceptable social standards around the world, just by pressing a button.
A soldier using a gun is safer than a Gen Z using a phone to manipulate the minds of thousands, if not millions of fellow high adrenaline Gen Z.
In a nutshell,the most important property a Gen Z can own is a smartphone,and many of them have committed su***de and burned schools,because they were denied the right to own,or access a smartphone... sshh,this is the alien invasion the world has always been looking forward to see.
With more technology on the way,the worst is coming and especially if you consider what they did to Sudi at Eldoret.If you ask Sudi,he will tell you his business was destroyed not by his fellow Kenyans,but by some heartless human species from the outer galaxy,the Milky way.
If the society is saying no to LGBTQ, Generation Z will ensure that they explore all the no go zones,using social media to interview, record and share every thing that is regarded as a taboo.
Through social media, Generation Z can recruit and mobilize millions of people towards a certain goal and in large numbers.In a big crowd like seen in the streets of Nairobi,human beings feel safe and can do anything that is against the law. It is called mob justice and that is what they did to the Kenyan parliament.
Secondly, Generation Z is the only Generation that has invented their own language called SHENG, purposely to ensure that other humans who don’t share their view of the world can never understand their hidden communication. For example, what is the meaning of Wazimbiting?They also have their own style of greetings and each day,they invent a new one. With that kind of communication, Gen Z cannot be controlled by their parents and even the government.
Thirdly, throughout the known history of mankind, Generation Z is the only Generation that enjoyed the right of”no caning in schools government policy” ,yet the Bible is clear that when you spare the rod, you spoil the child.They burned down the schools,forcing the government to create half terms, a short holiday that allows them to go and have fun,and mingle with the opposite s*x.
Fourthly, Generation Z is the only group of humans who are not allowed to love, or get married because they are under 18.Even if they are under 18, they are silently being allowed to engage in premarital family activities, indulge in alcohol,consume family planning products and the best of all,the freedom to dress like Akothee and Vera Sidika combined.
Because they need to remain in school and study, the law is finding a way that can allow Gen Z to legally kill their unborn child, mostly because a kid should not be allowed to raise another kid.The kiddish mother is still in school and not ready to raise a fellow kid.
In other cases, the Gen Z should legally kill the child because she was defiled after getting drunk or drugged at a party, and it is not good for her to raise a child born out of r**e or whatever you call it.
As if to add salt to the injury, Gen Z is the only group of humans where under 18 pregnant girls are allowed to go to school, and seat in class,and very proud of her big stomach. This is because it is her right,never mind her age.
Another reason to fear Gen Z is that this group of humans doesn’t respect or value any person or authority, unless that person is the one feeding them and paying for their school fees. In most cases Generation Z are cross breeds, born by parents who don’t come from the same tribe. Because of the language barrier, the Gen Z can never connect or spend time with their grandparents opting instead to lock themselves in their rooms, and consume every rubbish the internet can offer.

Kenya Gen X upbeat as South African music legend Pamela Nkutha is set to land in Nairobi on August

South African music sensation Pamela Nkutha will land in Nairobi next month of August,and it will be real Christmas day for Generation X .The female musician is a real idol, carrying good memories of the year 1990s,when life was smooth,when teachers,elders and the area chief were treated with the highest respect.That time ,the office of the President in Kenya was sacred and everybody felt safe and secure. But it looks like every day,the world is moving from good to worse not only by observing human behavior,but even the music itself is turning sour and repulsive to the ear for example ,What is Ngeli ya Genge?

Again,modern music is too obsessed about how big the girls' backside is ,and as if that is not enough, modern music is always accompanied by those high octave beats,believed to be somehow believed to originate from the dark world.

Pamela Nkutha songs are too powerful for any human ear to ignore.The songs can make two very bad enemies to forgive one another,and even share a cup of tea.

So Who exactly is Pamela Nkutha?

Little is known about her private life but alongside the big music names like Ivyonne Chaka Chaka,Pamela Nkutha started ruling the South African music scene from the early 80s. Her earlier album in the year 1988,Umntanami which means “I was kidnapped” and Manano in the year 1990 captured the hearts of many music fans across the globe.

Pamela’s music star moved to grab a central position in the skies of the South Africa’s music.

In Kenya, Generation X will quickly identify with Pamela Nkutha’s music, often referred to as TBT music. Her maiden visit to Kenya is perhaps the best felling for generation X whose memory of Pamela Nkutha’s songs will without doubt bring back the memories of their teenage years.

In Kenya,most Pamela Nkutha fans identify with the Song Muranziwa and Melody.

“I will not miss the concert. It reminds me of the year 1992,the best time of my life on earth, I was a teenager ,with nothing to worry about in life” Tom Chepsoi,a media personality based in Baringo County in Kenya told Independent Reporters Kenya, also pointing out that music is life.

Another very excited fan, Raymond Kebut from Eldama ravine said Pamela Nkutha’s visit to Kenya is true testimony that life can be full of surprises,vowing that he must go and see her live performance and ponder about the fact that, Nkutha really spiced the joys of his teenage years.

Those days they had the Disco nights “until Che”,meaning until c**k crow.Apart from Pamela,they also danced to the tunes of Vuyelwa volume one to seven .Strangely enough, many parents allowed their daughters to go to the dances,and until today,no one can explain why parents of that era did not worry about their daughters meeting the proverbial Hyena.

“Pamela Nkutha and her song Muranziwa almost killed my heart in the year 1993.The song reminded me of a beautiful Nubian girl I was crushing on, but too afraid to tell her. Tears could come out of my eyes every time I heard the song playing in a double speaker radio we called System.” Kebut,now a high school teacher said with a boyish look in his face,and adjusting his spectacles.

In Kenya, music can exist in the form of Rhumba,Benga or Taarab and in South Africa,music genres can vary from mbube, afrofusion as well as mbaganga among others. For the case of Pamela Nkutha,she sings Champeta,Pop and Afrobeats.In South Africa, music is mostly composed around marriages, births and not the least, African values.

I got a small hitch at the ministry of education because a certain officer declined to sign my forms, claiming that the United States of America was a dangerous place for young people to go and study and maybe as I came to realize 19 years later, that education official may have been a prophet.

Generation Z in Kenya,What is the most scary side of their world?

Generation Z is a great generation, no one will ever write the History they have written by making the Kenya government accountable. They are more powerful ,even Napoleon Bonapatre and the Mau mau are very jealous in their graves,because Gen Z are now the reigning champions and even scholars will take years to understand, and decode their historic protest.

In short,Generation Z is a human generation that comes after the Millennials, meaning they were born between the years 1997-2009.

Under Generation Z,corrupt government officials will vacate the planet earth and the most corrupt police officers will opt to resign, and engage in some farming.

Unlike the old generations,the Z generation don't fear any authority,their teachers ,adults,bullets and even death itself.They fear pregnancy[responsibility], more than HIV.The data is out there and for that reason,the best way to survive in the modern world is to "Give way "to generation Z before they wash you away downstream-They are like the massive Limpopo river,dangerously rushing to the ocean and no human power will stop them.

So who is this group of Humans? Is the alien invasion coming to us in this form already ?

Generation Z was born by “Digital Parents”, meaning when they first opened their highly sensitive eyelids, the first thing they saw was some light ,not from the sun ,moon,or the stars,but the laptops lying on the table just near their parents bed. And instead of suckling their thumbs in line with the traditions and culture of all the newborns in the world, Generation Z instead suckled their parents smartphones, remote controls and the phone charger .

For those keen enough to study the history of Kenya,this is a group of humans whose human rights came in the form of ''the no caning in schools government policy”. During their kindergarten days,most Generation Z members attended private schools because their schooled parents know that the underpaid teachers in Government schools cannot offer the best to their child,given that the classes are overcrowded,no desks or the teachers are in a strike led by Sossion.

Generation Z enjoyed the privilege of having the school bus stand right at their gate, and their mothers, wearing just a pair of pajamas would es**rt them to the waiting bus, and wish them a good day in school.

Some parents of Generation Z would never stomach an idea that their kid was “beaten in school by the teacher”. With the smart phone on standby, the Gen Z parents could quickly call the head teacher, harshly demanding that the teacher be sacked or the police would step in.

At home and especially during the weekends,Gen Z spend their childhood alone in the house watching cartoons and soon after hitting teenage,they sat through the night watching erotic and very violent content in Television,or smart phones.

Because of the language barrier, and the fact that most Digital parents never married from their own tribes, Gen Zs never enjoyed time with their grandparents because village life is not only boring to them,but because Gen Zs were never brought up to value, or respect anyone who is not feeding them,or paying for their school fees.

To cut the story short, Generation Z is the group that did not make headlines by razing down the parliament in Kenya,they started making headlines by burning down their own schools and dormitories.They burned down the schools not because the food is little, but because the school environment is boring, not giving them the freedom to have fun,and to carry and use mobile phones whenever they wished.

Who do they want to call? Their parents?

Not their parents, your guess is just perfect. Highly discerning members of Kenya’s education sector came to their realization that about 70 percent of Secondary schools students,the Gen Z boys and girls are enjoying the “family act”, the reason hundreds of girls would often suffer from what they call hysteria.

Maybe it’s because of the oily French fries they eat, Cerelac or the Paraffin they put in their foods is fake. To solve the problem and stop the schools from going up in the flames where even some students died, wise education officials came to the agreement that the medicine of fire is fire. It is the reason “HALF TERMS” were created, to allow them time to meet their....

To prove this point,one time when he was the education minister,Late Mutula Kilonzo was speaking in Chelilis Girls secondary school in Kericho,where he announced that school girls ,the now Gen Z should be allowed "the right to look beautiful"in schools,by wearing "mini skirt"school uniforms because why ,why should they look like Catholic Nuns?Mutula was speaking after a girls school in Muranga decided to hold a protest,demanding to have their uniforms designed in the form of stylish "mini skirts.

In a nutshell, Generation Z is the only Generation where pregnant secondary school girls are allowed to seat in class,to move around the school compound, very proud of their swollen bellies. No one is allowed to speak negative about them and at the dining Hall, pregnant school girls enjoy a special diet.

Every time before they seat for the KCSE and KCPE examinations, the Education Ministry, in conjunction with KNEC is duty bound to note the number of pregnant candidates, not to enable them arrest the men and boys responsible for the pregnancy, but to ensure that enough ambulances are ready to rush the girls to the delivery rooms, should the labor pains choose the most inappropriate time to knock.

In the health care industry, Generation Z is the biggest contraceptive market.The best place to set up a Chemist shop is near any institution of learning and where by,a pharmacist is sure of making a kill through the sale of pregnancy test kits and of course the very popular morning tablets. Some NGOs are pushing for the rights of the Gen Z school school girls to access contraceptives,because in their wisdom,that will not only help in stopping unwanted pregnancy,but also help reduce deaths related to abortions.

To the older generation,NGOs are working hard to licence promiscuity among the young and that is to say,the society has lost control of their young.

Gen Z heir push for their rights is moving towards the most dangerous zone, or not dangerous zone.

In the form of business entrepreneurship,Gen Z dont want poultry farming or even a food kiosk because remember,both men and women of this generation Z have very good nails and trendy hair locks .Both s*xes share a single beauty shop where services range from full body massage and extra services.

How can you easily connect with Gen Z?

Talk about content creation business and every Gen Z member will stop, and listen at that kind of wisdom.Apart from sanitizing the phones to catch adulterers and the fornicators, the Gen Zs are at the forefront in conducting very daring interviews, aimed at “domesticating” unusual s*xual orientations, still frowned upon by the older generations.

In the most extreme cases,Gen Zs use Vi**ra on unsuspecting members of the opposite s*x.Their aim is to induce and secretly record erotic moments, which they finally publish,highly popular and daily consumed by the Generation Z.

In a nutshell, enjoy the moments on offer at the time of your own Generation. The Clock will never turn backwards for you and anyway,no ill intended, just informing.

MORE PROTESTS IN KENYA?IN THE END,PRESIDENT RUTO WILL NOT BE THE LOSER

The ongoing street protests in Kenya,driven by the Generation Z is not a thing to celebrate anymore.The way things are,every one is tempted to ask if it was really about the Finance Bill 2024.

Making the government accountable through peaceful protests is allowed by the Kenyan law but in the other side,Generation Z should understand that anywhere in the world,trying to overthrow or toppling the government through street protests is nothing but treason.

Generation Z should be made to understand that under this prevailing circumstances,their protests and march to Statehouse will warrant a military counter offensive. They will be no different from an external invading force,threatening the very sovereignty of a democratic nation.

While this page does not condone corruption and impunity that is rife in the government of His Excellency President William Ruto,this page is keen to point out that eating wild fruits and living peacefully under a tree is better ,than loosing an entire generation,all in the fight for an Utopian society.

Bad governance was always there and it will always remain there,as long as those in leadership are mere mortals,stinky mouths and going to the toilet like every one.Good life is only possible after the return of the Lord Jesus Christ .

It is not good news at all that even after the president has conceded to the demands of Kenyans,finally withdrawing the offensive Bill,young people are still in the streets destroying property,taunting and insulting the police, and demanding that the President should resign. If the president is going to resign God forbid,Kenya will be ushering in the age of Lawlessness.

Does Generation Z know what caused the Rwandan Genocide?

Its was all because no democratic country on earth can enjoy 24 hours peace and stability without a President ,either because of a sudden death,resignation or a coup.Following a plane crash that caused the sudden death of President Juvenal Habyarimana,Rwanda was plunged into a state of confusion and chaos.The Rwandan media played a bigger role in spreading propaganda,creating tension and ethnic distrust.

A case against the Kenyan Media

The sad situation in Kenya is that the free media is still keen to repeat the very same mistake committed by the Rwandan media back in the year 1994.In an interview that was not well thought out,last Sunday,three high profile media personalities decided to interview the President,only to send a message to the eager Nation that the media too is in support of the protests.

About the deaths that occurred during the protests,the interview tried to heap the blame on the President while every one knows that in the face of a protest that turned violent and not peaceful,every police man in the world is allowed to open fire to protect his own life,or the life of a fellow police man.

In the interview,the President ,also the Commander in Chief was subjected to embarrassment, not given enough time to explain things.He was pushed to accept that he is a liar,and that Kenyans don't associate him with the truth.The Sunday interview only served in portraying the President as a weakling and unfit to continue serving his term.The interview only helped in giving more legitimacy for the Gen Z to continue the mayhem in the country.

Super corrupt or not,the President is always a symbol of National Unity and stability,do they teach that in schools anymore? It is always good to have a President in the Statehouse,the reason why the president must always appear in public ,giving assurance to all that everything is under control.

At this stage,every sober Kenyan should ask questions beyond the the Finance Bill. Is there a foreign hand behind what is now eating Kenya?

Some few days ago after assuming office,President Ruto became an international sensation,following his push for a need to ditch the American Dollar,urging his peers in Africa to mobilize central and commercial banks ,to join Pan-African Payments and Settlement System (PAPSS) which was launched in January 2022.

This position by Ruto brought back the memories and the Vision espoused by the Late Muamar Gadaffi,for the unity and progress of Africa and for that reason ,Gadaffi was killed because he chose to die in Libya,rather than flee and find political asylum in Norway or somewhere else.Maybe for this very position, President Ruto "anamulikwa" ,because he may have ruffled the feathers of the worlds most powerful and invisible powers.

Is some unseen power working hard to topple President Ruto? May be yes,there is a bigger probability.

If push will come to shove and to avert further bloodshed now flowing in the streets of Nairobi,President Ruto may likely opt to resign before the' devil inspired protesters'decide to visit his Sugoi home,and do the unimaginable.

Some Generation Z high priests and zealots have taken to the social media,disowning the ongoing protests .Through social media,some notable Gen Z influencers are claiming that their once peaceful protests have been infiltrated by goons,now driven by the wish to create mayhem,blood shed and lawlessness.

Probably,the President may choose to fly out of the country together with his family,and seek asylum in some Scandinavian country. If this will come to pass,Kenya will be plunged into a state of darkness and lawlessness ,just like what transpired after Gadaffi and Saddam were ousted from power, through the underhand dealings of the Western allies,working through the innocent populations.

Who will be the Greatest Loser in the ongoing demos?

Of course every body will suffer except President Ruto and other members of the rich club.Businesses,hospitals and schools will close or rendered nonoperational just like in the case of Haiti.

If Kenya will continue going down into the pit of darkness,the struggling economy will die,massive job layouts will be felt in every Kenyan village and government servants will not receive salaries.

Tribal killer gangs will erupt into the scene and rule their regions.They will begin and run operations,just like what the late Matakwei did in Mt Elgon through his ragtag Sabaout Land Defense force.

The case of Kenya will become so bad,forcing the international community to intervene.UN peace troops twill be patrolling the streets of Nairobi,preventing killer gangs from ra**ng women and girls,looting and slitting the throats their fellow Kenyans.

The end result of the now ongoing protests will be the return of foreign powers into the Kenyan soil.They will come and take charge of Kenya, heralding the return of the new colonialism and maybe that is what Generation Z is innocently determined to achieve,Please tell them to stop.

AM THE REAL OWNER OF KORIEMA TRADING CENTER, OWNER OF 65 YEAR OLD PLATE IN BARINGO NOW CLAIMS

Lake Bogoria in Baringo County is not only an International tourist attraction, but it is also the place where the most interesting stories begin.

Not far from this famous lake lives one very knowledgeable Septuagenarian –Mzee Richard Kiboror Yegon. Independent Reporters- Kenya got the very rare privilege to travel his path of history, and even drink from his overflowing cup of wisdom. He is the Chairman of the Baringo Livestock Marketing Council and the real owner of the Koriema trading center, a nationally recognized Nyama Choma eating point located along the Marigat-Kabarnet Highway.

…Without spending time with elders like Mzee Yegon, then you will never come to the realization that some humans were the real eye witnesses when God decided to form the modern day conflict ridden Lake Kamnarok in Baringo North .Again without spending time with elders like Mzee Richard, you will never realize that for the last 65 years, someone has been using one single plate to eat his food. He bought his plate in the year 1957 and he will explain why in every family gathering he chairs, the plate is celebrated as the golden treasure of his family.

Mzee Yegon who also served as the Councilor of Mochongoi ward played linchpin role in fighting off GG Kariuki of Laikipia when he tried to settle his people in Mochongoi, clearly disregarding the Laikipia-Baringo colonial boundaries as well demonstrated in the 1920-1930 colonial maps.
But you also need to learn that Mzee Yegon can tell you about a then politician known as Edward Kiptanui of Baringo South.

When Kiptanui heard that Moi is settling people in Mochongoi,he rushed to Olkokwe to plan a land take over coup.

Kiptanui allegedly told his tribal sycophants ‘’to run’’ and build homes in Keneroi forests. Mzee Yegon informed Moi about Kiptanui’s underhand dealings and under the supervision of former PC Mathenge,the people of Kiptanui were chased out of Mochongoi like Burukenge.

In a nutshell,Mzee Richard Yegon is also known as Kiboror,which in Kalenjin means 'the one who shows the way to the right destination and for that reason,he is using the spirit of his name to give a small lecture to Baringo Governor Benjamin Cheboi.

He would like Cheboi to set his legacy as the only Governor who ever invested Billions of money in building huge dams along Baringo's major rivers,and be the father of Irrigation farming in the history of Baringo County. In his own observation,too much water in Baringo is going to waste.

He is telling Cheboi not to repeat his old mistake, filling his cabinet with Judases whose only claim to public offices is because they have some University papers, but not because they desire to render a service to Humanity.

He is advising Cheboi to micro manage his CECs,and quickly w**d out the economic Talibans out to sabotage his vision for the people of Baringo.

Mzee Richard Yegon’s grandfather was the original owner of Koriema trading center. He was a rich man, a version of a real African Dalamere, having established a vast Manyatta right in the modern day Koriema Catholic church. This original owner of Koriema trading center together with his sons then migrated to Maji Moto,the Southern side of Lake Bogoria.

Maji Moto was originally known as Ndoleta .

It is here that Mzee Richard Yegon arrived and gained planet earth’s citizenship in the early 1940s, being the son of the Late Mzee Kibiegon arap Koriema of the early Nyongi age set. It is here that his grandfather passed on, a village called Kabarfaya near the Koibos Hills …
‘’I never saw my grandfather but my father, Kibiegon the son of Koriema ensured that our life went on. He and his brothers had inherited vast herds of cattle and during that time, droughts was the only challenge..’’Mzee Richard told Independent Reporters Kenya.

‘’There was no rain from the year 1949 to 1951’’Mzee Richard revealed and for that reason ,Mzee Richard was a young mama's boy when his father decided to flee towards Mochongoi in the search for pasture lands.

’’Only my father, me and my mother Tarkok left for Mochongoi. Women and girls never carried weapons for self defense and therefore; moving around in the wild was the most risky activity for them to engage in .My two older sisters had to stay behind in Maji Moto,to give company to my stepmothers who were in charge of the goats’’Mzee Richard revealed, pointing out how much he missed playing with his sisters .

In that time of History, only three families lived in the Mochongoi jungles. Arap Mogio,Kiptingos and the Kipteweret family who happened to have been the Ogieks of Mochongoi.That time also according to Mzee Richard,Kabel was a paradise of wild life. It was easy to see many newly born baby elephants wobbling behind their mothers and learning to walk. The forest was full of many creatures, very tall trees and bush ropes no human language can describe but don’t forget the Lions, the Kings of the African jungles.

‘’We had also settled in a place called Keon in Sinoni and one night, a lion visited our makeshift homestead. I was woken by the commotion of my mother Tarkok lighting many small fires around the homestead. She forced me to go back to sleep because ‘a bad animal’ was around the home.’’Mzee Richard recalls adding that when his mother was lighting the fires, his father was patrolling the homestead while armed with a spear and the sword. Lucky for the family of Mzee Richard, many of their cows survived the drought and the diseases outbreak within Mochongoi.
Big rains started visiting the region at the end of the year 1951 and the family of Mzee Richard made it back safely to Maji Moto where they encountered not a very good situation...

‘’My two sisters Kimoi Changole and Kimoi Losiwa were heavily affected by scabies, and no inch of their skin was not affected’’Mzee Yegon remembers with sadness written in his face. Without wasting time, his father Kibiegon arap Koriema had to travel to a place called Pogor in Molo Sirwe,to see a man called Cheptorit who happened to be his in law. This Cheptorit was to give him a fat goat for slaughter, purposely to treat the sick girls but unlucky enough, that was the last time Mzee Richard saw his father alive.

‘’My father never returned home and it took me several months to learn that my father was dead. Elders of that time never discussed death with children and therefore even to date, I don’t know exactly what happened to him along the way but I guess he fell sick and died!!’’ Mzee Richard was overcome by emotion, remembering that his father loved him so much but how then did Mzee Richard learn that his father was dead?
‘’Near a place called Kamar,i was out herding goats with my elder sister Kimoi Changole. We were heading home for the nightfall was approaching. I realized that the goats were agitated and all looking in one direction. A cheetah, known as Chepkormet in the language of our Endorois people had gotten hold of a goat. I used my boyish arrows to shoot at the cheetah and it let go the goat and fled into the thickets.

I was so proud of my brave action. I told my sister Kimoi Changole who was with me about my intention to inform our father about the encounter, and how I acted bravely to save our goat. I was very innocent when my sister told me in a whisper that our father is no more,and that i should never again make any mention of him…All the way home that evening I sobbed so bitterly, and later fell sick for almost two months..’’Mzee Richard narrated to this platform with his 75 year old eyes soaking in tears of grief.

He is still not over the death of his father, remembering his death like it happened yesterday.
