Mothers never loose hope; and if they do, they would better fake it just to avoid letting their children see them suffer – and now I bet this what motherhood is all about.

A lady by the name of Peninah Kitsau from Kisauni Mombasa has left many in tears after her story of how she boiled stones for supper was aired on NTV.

According to the details shared on the video circulating on social media – Peninah who is also a widow says she had no food to give to her children; and her only solution was to keep them waiting as she boiled stones giving them hope until they finally fell asleep.

Joho’s project to provide food a scam?

Anyway this comes barely weeks after Joho and his PR team went on to make noise announcing; they were now working on providing food for the less fortunate in Mombasa now that all businesses and jobs have been closed due to Coronavirus.

During his press conference, Joho revealed that the government had provided Ksh 200,000,000; to help provide food to vulnerable families. He went on to add that the county government had received over KSh 100 million in donations to help in the coronavirus crisis.

In his speech the governor made it clear that his team had already identified which families to help.

 

As a county we have been able to set aside KSh 200 million to help in feeding our people, we have also received donations worth over 100 million, we also have food donations from our local business community.

which brings us to why Peninah was not among them!

We have sent teams on the ground to collect data in order for us to know where they live and how they live before we can start distributing what we have.

Everyman for himself

With this, Kenyans are now demanding an explanation – which of course they won’t get. However come 2022, I’m pretty sure Kenyans will be revising notes taken during 2020: as money allocated to help fight coronavirus and still help unfortunate families is disappearing on breakfast and among other things.

Well if no one has learnt yet….then when will they ever learn!
