Roses and thorns

http://www.ntv.co.ke
In the wake of the mysterious deaths of fish in lake Naivasha, accusing fingers have been pointing in the direction of the multi-million shilling flower farms that surround the besieged lake. Was it a case of poisonous pesticides or some other deadly affluent from the farms? NTVs Robert Nagila reports.

Roses of wrath and filth!! Imagine the flower companies were not at Lake Naivasha. The Flower Industry in Europe would be dead by now. And we would have an ecologically sound Naivasha with enough fish for the fishers and the hungry. The environmental rules and regulations within the EU are very stark leading to higher costs for the environmental imbeciles, hence their movement southwards, to ever-welcoming Kenya. Whenever you see a Kenyan Rose, it is a symbol of death to nature. Dont buy it!!

Where is Akoth? On matters affecting Kenyans he is never there to leave comments. But on clips touching ODM or Raila he is always there leaving some bad comments. A real tribalist.

@SB: Good suggestion. In fact all the workers should terminate their services. Even without our assistance, the irony of the whole episode is, more than half of the workers in the flower companies will not be working there in the next three to five years, due to various reasons ranging from poor health to unorthodox termination of their contracts. Also most of the workers in the flower companies are seasonal, casual workers. The flower companies have very few African employees on tenure track.
