Waking up to a solitude will could not have been their expected breakfast but they did , collision with a grief blasting paper, possibly with ramshackle disfigured alphabets but the immensity of the message remaining clear. Seems implausible.

The night of 22nd a family in Sigenya ,Migori county woke up to find one of their members disappeared leaving behind a scribbled paper on how her property should be shared.

40 years old Jane Auma on the night of 22nd wrote in her will that the family members should thereafter look for her in a nearby sorghum plantation.

The area chief explained that the possible reason behind the disappearance is yet to be identified though people stated that they had wrangles with the husband.

Adrift in the disappearance hysteria ,the family members are worried on whether their member is alive or sought to ending her life.

Basically, a will is a dessert for a possible inexistence hence the looming fear is vital.

Winning after what was considered tight might be a huge relief from the uncertain pressure of failure and looking forward to getting better pay for your produce too is another relief . Symmetrically are two people with alluring expectations, one hoping to be relieved off the burden of meager earnings and the other blasting cheerfulness to the relief at hand. All brought together by the squirms of this verdant; tea.

Speaking to daily trends yesterday, the newly elected director for mitheru tea zone confidently narrated his taut reforms that he envisions implementing to bring the change the restive famers yearn.

“Am looking forward to implementing the government policies on bettering the state of sales and get determined to work very close with the farmers in all matters,” said the director. He continued to explain the likelihood of ending the green fedha association which he feels is a burden to the farmers who after getting the loans find it hard paying back .He explained that this will create a tranquil environment for the farmers to surf on as they won’t have their money deducted to repay the loans.

Jackson Ireri Abidan, expressed his candid thoughts that he will look into the issue where farmers have to remain patient and keep bills pending to await their cumulative payment. It might happen that farmers will be able to get their money at any time unlike in the past where they would wait for the cumulative payment at the end of the month or annually.

We will work openly and remain transparent on many issues and bring the farmer closer to us for the farmers own good; the director ezolained that the cartels who were there before had their own personal companies and they would buy the tea at their own prices and even make direct sales. The director tells daily trends that this was the main reason as to why farmers ended up getting low pay.

The resolves were utterly enticing and the gravid calmness raises hope on a better zone.

Farmers are optimistic that they might bump on the gravid change they have been running after but will they?
