Life is slowly going back to nrmal in kericho town from the effects of the recent political chaos that rocked the country.THe chaos left life in this town abnormaly high with the basic commodities for survival be priced at tripple the normal prices .The worst affected was fuel and the basic food stuffs ,that is maize and the fish that are popularly known as omena or dagaa .The fish that normally go at ten shillings per one two hundred and fifty gramms tin of blue band magarine,were priced at twnety shillings for the same quantity .And the charcoal that used to cost only twenty shillings per a two kilogramme tin of kimbo cooking fat was until recently priced at forty shillings for the same quantity.Andthe maize flour that used to go at twenty shillings per a kilogramme in the slums ,was priced at twenty five shillings for the same quantity of flour.
From between two and three weeks ago,things have changed and slowly by slowly the prices are getting back to normal .The prices of charcoal have gone back to the thirty shillings for the same aquantity of charcoal while the prices of maize flour have dropped down to where they were before ,that is at twenty shillings for the same quantity of flour.
The things that have not yet dropped in prices are houses which some of the residents have been heard complaining that ,some land lords have been claiming alot of money from them for very poor quality houses.
So,slowly by slowy ,the town is healing from the eefects of the chaos and it is expected that soon the life ,generally ,in this town will be back to normal.
