In contrast, miraa requires monthly harvesting. The high demand for muguka has resulted in a significant client base, expanding the market reach for farmers.

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.

This act of obedience and submission serves as a testament to the unwavering faith of Ibrahim, which is celebrated during Eid al-Adha.
Office Arsonists and Organization Culture
By Lilian Mwaka
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.
