This resistance, specially the boycott of products is going to FAIL.
At my house in Vipingo, I have a staff of 4 - 1 jubilee and 3 NASA.
I got them together and explained the following:
- First of all I am not politically aligned to any of the presidential candidates. I think they are all useless. So I didn't vote. The only person I have ever voted for is Kibaki. Until such time that we get another candidate like him I will not vote.
- However,if I was forced to vote, I would vote for Uhuru.
- I did not want to upset their beliefs and make them consume products that Baba has boycotted.
- I buy and provide them with Milk from Brookside, Kimbo from Bidco, suger from Mumias, and Taifa maize meal.
- I have also given them my old phones with Safaricom simms, and I buy 100/= worth of airtime for these per month ( for emergency calls only ). The rest for their personal use they have to buy themselves.
I made it clear to them that I can ONLY buy Brookside, Kimbo and Safaricom, as these the are the products we personally use. Also, I have NO time to try and source alternative Baba approved products.
I offered them the money to go and buy the replacement products if they wanted to obey Baba's order.
ALL 3 NASA guys said that they want to continue with the boycotted products and this is just Baba's Politics.(I don't know what that means)
The same story is being repeated in other households in our estate.
