MATATAU STRIKE against oil prices hike

It was interesting  to see the gusto with which COTU secretary general came out in support of  the proposed matatu strike.Zeal without  the proper knowledge is very dangerous.I say this because , paralyzing transport all over the country and calling youths to burn factories might not be the best approach.  Further more, is matatu industry an appropriate and/or adequate partner in this en devour?. Or is COTU merely looking for  the bully of the estate regardless of  SUSTAINABILITY and OBJECTIVITY of the partnership.

Our dear COTU, let me inform you, our high price of oil is a result of inefficiency in oil handling. These include:-
-delays in clearance
-lack of adequate storage
- inefficient inland transport/distribution of oil
Some of the suggested solutions include:-
-government's investment in rail transport
-depoliticization of port operations so that efficiency is persued as opposed to political correctness
-digitization of port operations
-investment in rail transport
 It appears that the level at which COTU is taking up this matter is mediocre and to some extent counterproductive.
In a  continuation of this article we invite suggestions on practical and rational steps  that COTU should take  to help workers contribute to efforts aimed at prompting the government to  bring down the  price of oil .

  1. My experience working with Benjamin ( A Loan Officer) was a pleasure. He was completely upfront about the costs and whether the deal made sense financially. In fact, when I explained my situation, he advised me not to refinance unless the current terms improved even though it cost him business. When he later contacted me about a better deal, I jumped at it because he had earned my trust"Definitely made me feel confident that I was working with a great loan company / great business person who knew his worth of business lines.I will advies anyone here looking for any kind of loan to contact Mr Benjamin because he and his company helped me with a loan at the rate 2% which was very impressive.I had Mr Benjamin contact Office Email on .... 247officedept@gmail.com
