This shows how you are much ahead in idiocy class than the claim you are putting for Lucy.

Back to the topic...its a noble idea if well planned and consistently implemented. Some of the effects of the jiggers are permanent especially when the kid is all grown, ending up in campuses and even boardrooms. But since when did we WALK THE TALK?

It's easier to teach people to be clean and sweep their houses that to tell them to spend the little they have on what they consider frivolous things like shoes!d'oh! And as mentioned earlier, once those jiggers are in, shoes will just make them confortable Sad

@Sanity, it is easy to talk like this when you know where your next meal will come from. But if you are chronically broke, have a family to feed, do not know where the next meal for your small kids will come from, then spending 50 bob on shoes becomes quite a luxury. It will boil down to the distinction between wants and needs.

They should also be forced to walk naked ndio washibe, kweli? I beleive shoes today are as basic as clothes n food....Very cheap n readily available. School fees were waived (almost a k per term ama?), dont say that pple cannot spare a kafinje ya njumu. Seems Kenyans will never have a concensus on anything. I think it doesnt take an interllectual heavyweight to see the sense. Anyway, in my rural Gatanga, most, if not all kids wear shoes to school (in fact I thought it was a requirement).

There is no water in most house holds in NEP and almost all families live in squalid conditions and in abject poverty!
No single jinga jigger has ever bitten them!
Why central province?I think its in their genes that jigger will attack them.Pray

Then you may need to travel to your next constituency.... Infact, that's where things are worse... what do you expect when the woman is left to feed four children and the only source of money she has is kibarua kuchuna kahawa.... while the man drinks all day long, may be comes back in the evening,beats where and demands for what she brought home? Things are thick out there and i wouldnt be surprised that 50bob is really hard to come by for some families...

But we are in agreement... its boils down to hygiene.... just water and soap.....

Once we are done forcing the rural kids to wear shoes, we could also bathe them etc
