Current eventsNAIROBI, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Kenya's Minister of Agriculture Chris Obure said frost had damaged 100 percent of tea belonging to small-scale growers in the key areas of Kericho, Nandi, Bomet and Nyamira districts, local newspapers reported on Wednesday. He told the Nation newspaper that he ``wanted to prove to the council authorities that I am a genuine worker and to prove the kind of work that I do. NAIROBI, Feb 16 (Reuters) - A disgruntled mortuary worker dumped five decomposing bodies outside a Kenyan town hall to protest against being declared a ``ghost worker'' by the council, local newspapers reported on Wednesday. ReferencesI got information from The Brittanic cd in the libraryAol search at homeGeography BookKenya fact bookAtlas of the worldAnd that's about it ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. Small-scale farmers account for 60 percent of total tea output which stood at 248 million kilos last year from 294 million kilos in 1998 when production was heavily boosted by El Nino rains. I think that that is really bad for the farmers that made their living of these crops and even the goverment now they can't export so much tea and that mean less money for them. ries : Food and beverages processing, manufacture of petroleum products, textiles and fibres, garments, tobacco, processed fruits, cement, paper, pyrethrum products, engineering products, wood products, pharmaceuticals, basic chemicals, sugar, rubber, plastics. The Asian community is mainly Hindu. Some Kenyans observe traditional methods of worship. The followers of Christian faith are the majority. Kenya doesn't have Mc Donald's like we do here in the US but they have really delicious food of there own like chapati, irio, manndazi, samosas, ugali, that are some of the foo's that they eat in Kenya. It's mostly hot in Kenya that's why they grow such as these food's above. Speaking after touring the region, Obure said also that between 20 to 35 percent of tea in areas belonging to large- scale plantation growers had been damaged. I think that's really sad what the people have to do to prove that they can work like everybody else and that was really nasty of that guy to dump the body's on the stairs of citie hall. In Kenya people mostly wear every kind of clothes but the richer people of Kenya w!ear western like clothes.
