There is immense narrative behind gaming, that lies for once or forever in every desiring mind. It could be explained through plays, game competitions or even video game reviews which probably takes the largest stake of the track.

For sure, not one or  two dream of being in the gaming world in the act of a video game reviewer/journalist, it may be hard, yes, but the “hardship” thought could easily be cut off in every passionate heart and mind for it burns with acidic penetration that loosens more the of  video game understanding.

It takes a lot to hold this profession to the grassroots. Consistent creation of great and new contents every other moment could act one of the difficult but better ways to becoming a better reviewer by writing great reviews in a unique perspective about the games released and played. The content developed could also take ages to be discovered but social media could be the best platform to share and building personal blogs for exposure.

Reviewing games is completely different from playing games for “fun”. Reviewing requires focus, mind of revealing defects, reporting bad design, making rigid suggestions and even strictly replaying the same games for thorough testing to confirm issues of resolution with concise communication of bug reports to provide for proper approval of videos whenever  and assign  severity.

Commitment and timeline needs a great care in video game reviewing for its valuability is unsurpassed, it plays a big role. In the state of online gaming publications no advanced copy of particular game is provided to reviewers, so one needs to snag a copy of the game as it is released and since many gamers usually read a game’s review on the day of release or few days later, meaning one is working within a narrow window to play through the game, write the review, edit it and get it to the concerned site.

To keep consistency, content development and even rebuilding commitments, alive in the game needs proper journalistic training and a well-schooled mind. This pillars better structuring of gaming stories, conducting better interviews on gaming ownership, evaluating sources and build a humongous and fantastic network with colleagues hence designing a proper shaded roof and rigid mind of resolutions in the whole of gaming zone.

As far as it is known there are no paid video game reviewers who devote their pen solely to reviewing video games. There are few writers who review video games to get paid but they work for print world and in most cases they have journalistic skills. The reward in the field is fueled by their smart work and turning the gaming habit from hobby to a profession. A general thumb up lies in growing the desire of video gaming every other time.

Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe has slammed Kenyans in his latest coronavirus media briefing.

While addressing a press conference at Afy House on Tuesday March 24, CS Kagwe noted that Kenyans are indisciplined and difficult people.

The seemingly angry CS said that the level of indiscipline being shown by Kenyans will really cost the country.

He called for responsibility among Kenyans as the country braves to fight COVID-19.

“Kenyans are very indiscipline and it will cost us. We want responsibility among citizens, Keep your kids home..you people of the media need to tell them,” he said.

He said Kenyans have been warned against contracting the disease but they feign ignorance.

“It is a grievous mistake. For us to give your child then you go exposing him or her. Then you call us and say serikali saidia.. this is the time you need to saidia yourself not the government..,” he said.

“Children were not sent for a holiday but for protection. Do not tell us ‘serikali saidia’. It won’t work…”

He further warned the 14-seater matatus who carry eight passengers and revert to their usual behaviour when the police are not present.

“If we tell you that a matatu should carry eight, do exactly that..when you do it because you can see the police then later when the police are absent, you carry more people, it is sad,” he said.

“….it is difficult to understand ..are you trying to kill yourself and the people in the matatu..”

He said that the government will announce further measures tomorrow Wednesday March 25.

Should we expect a total lock down of the country? Well, let’s wait.

Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe has confirmed 9 more confirmed coronavirus cases in Kenya, bringing the total number of cases to 25.

In a live press briefing at Afya House on Tuesday evening, CS Kagwe noted that the new cases were detected on people from four counties.

These are Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi and Kwale.

Out of the nine confirmed cases, seven of them are Kenyans and two are foreigners.

The new cases were confirmed after 82 samples being tested.

CS Kagwe says tracing of contacts of patients is ongoing. The total number of traced contacts so far are 745. Out of these, 98 have been discharged.

CS Kagwe further thanked Chines billionaire businessman Jack Ma for the donations that landed in the country today aboard Ethiopian airlines.

The Alibaba co-founder’s donations of masks and 25,000 testing kits for the coronavirus arrived at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi on Tuesday March 24.

The shipment arrived at JKIA from Addis Ababa shortly after midday.

Jack Ma promised to issue out a total of 1.1 million testing kits, 6 million masks and 60,000 medical use protective suits and face shields that will be distributed among all the 54 African nations.

However, CS Kagwe in his Tuesday evening presser said that the government will announce more measures to contain the virus. Could it be a total lock down of the country?

Well, the measures that had been earlier announced are to remain into effect as the country awaits more measures set to be announce tomorrow (Wednesday March 25).

A German army shipment of six million face masks needed to protect against the novel coronavirus has vanished in Kenya.

The defence ministry in Berlin, Germany confirmed on Tuesday.

“We are trying to find out what happened” to the massive order of protective equipment meeting the FFP2 standard for protection against particles and aerosols, a spokeswoman said.

News weekly Der Spiegel had earlier reported that the masks went missing at a Kenyan airport at the end of last week.It was not immediately clear why the shipment was transiting via the east African country, the spokeswoman said.

The German army’s procurement office — plagued in normal times by equipment shortages and breakdowns — is providing the health ministry with logistical support during the coronavirus crisis.

Due to arrive in Europe’s largest economy on March 20, the missing mask shipment was one of the first major deliveries needed to gird Germany’s health system for its battle against the coronavirus, Spiegel reported.

That makes the loss “more than irritating” for the German health and government workers on the front line of the crisis, Spiegel wrote citing official sources.

According to the Robert Koch Institute disease control authority, the country had 27,436 confirmed virus infections Tuesday — an increase of almost 5,000 over the tally on Monday.

The defence ministry spokeswoman said the German government would not suffer a financial loss on the lost shipment as payment for the masks had been due on delivery.

A Tanga Tanga lawmaker who had self-isolated himself after coming from an international trip, has completed his 14 days of self-quarantine.

The Kericho senator Aaron Cheruiyot, who is allied to Jubilee’s Tanga Tanga faction, isolated himself after jetting into the country from London.

Cheruiyot on March 18 via his twitter account said he was self-quarantining at home, a fortnight after visiting the Emirates Stadium in London.

On Tuesday March 24, 2020, Cheruiyot through his twitter account again, announced that he had completed his 14 days of self-quarantine without any issue.

He said he woke up with his heart filled with joy as he completed his 14th day with no issue.

The lawmaker noted that it is a tough season for every human being, urging people to be vigilant, observe health rules, pray, remain hopeful.

He notes that when people come together in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, the fight shall be won.

“Woke up with a heart filled with joy. Cleared the 14th day with no issue. It’s a tough season for every human being.Let us be vigilant, observe the health rules, pray, remain hopeful & together we shall most definetly win,” he posted.

Cheruiyot was in attendance at the Arsenal stadium in London when coach Mikel Arteta’s side beat West Ham 1-0 in an English Premier League match on March 7.

He later posted a photo of himself at the 60,000-seater stadium and even lauded French striker Alexandre Lacazette who scored the lone goal.

Soon after, Arteta tested positive for coronavirus and the club postponed two league matches against Manchester City and Brighton before the league cancelled all fixtures in the competition altogether.

Mr. Wandere Maina, a trader who supplies equipment such as tents and chairs to major events like rallies is one of the many traders whose business prospects have been largely affected by the spread of the coronavirus.

It took Wandere 10 years to build his company from scratch to employing over 600 employees. It took the flu virus a few days to bring this number down to 50.

After the first case of Covid 19 was discovered in Kenya, the government directed that all public gatherings and rallies be called off in order to contain spread of the flu virus, leaving Wandere with virtually no one and nowhere to supply equipment to.

From employing over 600 employees he now has only about 50 employees left working for him. Much as the massive lay-offs pain him, there is not much he can do about it.

Another trader, Loise Njeri, who has been running a successful hotel business in Nairobi, finds herself in a similar predicament. Speaking to her, Loise does not sound as excited as she would have sounded some two weeks ago, reason being where as she used to open shop early and close late, now she opens late and closes early thus getting lower returns.

After government discouraged dining in hotels, the number of customers she has been receiving in the past one week has significantly gone down. She is grappling with how to meet rent and taxes at the end of the month amidst heavy losses incurred.

Whereas other eatery businesses have the option of shipping goods to customers based on the orders they have received online, she does not have that option and so has to contend with lower sales. Her business is only accessible to people who pass by her premises while going about their business and her regular customers.

The emergence of the corona virus has similarly taken many other businesses by surprise. Only those with systems such as websites and e-commerce platforms that enable them to carry on with business as usual while maintaining slightest contact with the flu virus are still counting profits as they did before.

As Mr. Felix Mbugua, a tech enthusiast and CEO of web design firm Legibra notes, unfortunate as the abrupt emergence of Covid 19 is, it also comes as an eye opener for businesses to integrate new technologies into the functionality of their businesses so that whenever such an eventually crops up again, they will be prepared.

“The spread of the virus is still relatively under control in Kenya, though even as we remain optimistic that the authorities will be able to effectively contain it, it may be too early to assess the full impact that the virus is going to have on our economy and how long it is going to take us to get back on with our normal lives,” said Mr. Mbugua.

With schools on lock down and companies urging people to work from home, new technologies such as internet of things and artificial intelligence could facilitate students to get an education online, business leaders and manufacturers to run and monitor their businesses all day long with very little reliance on human capital, and customers to purchase goods from retailers without even visiting their shops.

“Businesses that do not have an online presence are going to have a big challenge this time because people are going to be buying goods online,” noted Mr. Mbugua.

Indeed, all over the world, new technologies such as artificial intelligence and the internet of things have significantly boosted economic prospects of digitised businesses.

In America for instance, e-commerce giant amazon is reportedly struggling to hire over 100,000 workers for delivery services to meet the growing demand and shift to digital shopping. The retailer will be targeting people who have lost their jobs following closure of companies they used to work in.

According to Felix however, not all hope is lost because after all necessity is the mother of invention. We could come out of this stronger than we anticipated and find better ways to go about our businesses.

He is encouraging more and more business people to sign up for websites in order to boost their online presence and thus be able to carry on with business as usual while we wait for things to get back to normal.

A catholic priest who left Rome and arrived in Ugunja, Siaya County and presided over a funeral mass over the weekend has tested positive for coronavirus.

An emergency team in Siaya is currently doing contact tracking of all those faithful who interacted with the priest.

This comes just a moment after three Kakamega County officials who came back from a trip in Italy were put under mandatory quarantine after they failed to do so.

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has today released Shs 7.4 billion to support Government efforts to contain the spread of Coronavirus in the country.

Speaking at State House, Nairobi, during President Kenyatta’s meeting with the private sector, CBK Governor Dr Patrick Njoroge said the money was gained from the mop-up of the old 1000 shillings bank notes.

“As you recall in September last year we concluded the demonetization of our currency relating to our old generation one thousand bank notes. That matter was concluded and as a result of that, Shs 7.4 billion worth of bank notes never came back to the system.

“That money would have been held by people who, for whatever reason, did not want to subject themselves to the checks that were in place. So most likely this was money that might have been illicitly acquired through the various channels that we have talked about in other forums,” the CBK Governor said.

Dr Njoroge said the bank is giving back the money to boost the government’s efforts to combat the Coronavirus pandemic.

President Kenyatta thanked CBK for the contribution and directed Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yattani to ensure the money is used to support Kenyans to overcome the current health crisis.

“That money goes to help our health facilities and our health workers,” the President said.

He added: “That again is something we appreciate and this is what I mean when I say Kenyans working together can achieve miracles.”

During the meeting, the President announced a further Shs 1 billion allocation by the Government for hiring of more health workers needed to increase the country’s capacity to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic.

He said the additional funds will ensure the government brings on board enough manpower to support those already in the field working to save lives.

The President’s meeting with the private sector representatives discussed a raft of other measures being taken to cushion the country from the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Key among the interventions is an announcement by the Head of State that outstanding VAT refunds and pending bills would be settled within 30 days.

The President said VAT refunds and settlement of pending bills will help improve cash flow and keep businesses afloat.

“Critically, we all recognize that the volume of business has gone down. We need to ensure that we have cash flow to be able to keep ourselves afloat as we go through these trying times,” the President said.

He said the Government had lifted a ban on its entities from holding conferences and seminars in private hotels so as to keep the hospitality sector vibrant.

“As you are well aware we had put a ban on government officials holding meetings in hotels and said only government institutions are the ones to host various seminars by government.

“Again we have lifted that temporarily until this is over so that our hotel beds get occupancy and you in turn are able to keep your workers employed,” the President said.

Once again, the President thanked the media for its leading role in information dissemination and public health education on the Coronavirus pandemic.

He said the media had distinguished itself as a valuable partner in efforts to contain the spread of the virus.

Following yesterday’s directive, the Head of State said the Government had released 400,000 litres of ethanol, impounded by the multi-agency team on contraband goods, to oil companies for the blending of hand sanitizers to be distributed free of charge to the public.

On its part, the private sector, through the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) Chairman Nick Nesbitt and CEO Carole Kariuki, committed to continue protecting Kenyan employees against job losses and safeguarding SMEs from the adverse effects the current crisis by ensuring business and supply chain continuity.

The private sector further committed to prioritize the health and safety of employees, communities and health workers through increased Corporate Social Responsibility activities. The meeting was attended by several Cabinet Secretaries among other senior Government officials.

Earlier, the President held talks with representatives of the Export Processing Zones (EPZ) Apparel and Textile Sector during which he commended the sector for their efforts in minimizing job losses during this crisis period.
