THE STANDARD
MONEY & CAREERS
A woman waits to sell honey to customers at Koriema market in Baringo. [Collins Kweyu, Standard]
As a car approaches, they assume the posture of athletes at the starting blocks, except they don’t wait for the firing shot.
As it draws near, they dash onto the road risking limb and life, oblivious of the dangers that could pose. It is survival of the fittest.
They have benefitted from the bumps on the Nakuru-Marigat-Kabarnet road, which slow down traffic and as if on cue, the drivers also stop.
The sellers swoon around the car displaying their handful wares; the golden shade of honey gleaming in the hot, bright Baringo sun.
