Muguka farming has emerged as a highly profitable venture, surpassing the earnings of its counterpart, miraa. With a maturity time of just six months, muguka can be harvested weekly. In contrast, miraa requires monthly harvesting. The high demand for muguka has resulted in a significant client base, expanding the market reach for farmers.

“With one acre of muguka that is ready to harvest, you earn approximately, Sh50,000. In a month, that is Sh200,000, minus expenses incurred, you have approximately, Sh150,000. In four months, you have Sh600,000. In the same four months, on the same 1-acre shamba, you will harvest about 10 ninety kilo bags of maize, let’s say it fetches you Sh150,000, minus expenses incurred you have Sh100,000. That is why muguka is preferred by our people” Mwaniki explains.

An arsonist is a person who maliciously sets properties on fire. An office arsonist described by Pete Havel in the book, The Arsonist in the Office – is a person/fanatic who is untouchable, litigation-happy, and complaint-filing.
Organizational culture is a set of values, attitudes, beliefs, systems, and assumptions shared in a workplace. This is the glue that binds all the people in an organization.
