For them the celebrations like Heritage Days are a great time to meet up with friends and family and a great place to take dates. We need to understand that most people in poverty are controlled by the tyranny of the moment. For those in poverty, dealing with tyranny of the moment creates so much stress that they cannot reason this all out.

Spending on celebrations like Heritage Days, for someone with different values, makes perfect sense.

The country is staring at a drastic drop in wheat production after farmers in the North Rift reduced acreage due to the high cost of production and poor prices. “The government reduced the duty on imported wheat crop to 10 per cent, making local millers flood the local market with cheaply imported wheat," Kipkorir Menjo, the Kenya Farmers Association official, said. Data from counties indicates that there is projected decline in production as more farmers shift from wheat to maize and other crops. "Last season, millers did not buy locally produced wheat from farmers, discouraging farmers from growing the crop,” Yego, an agronomist, said. The case is the same in Trans Nzoia county, where wheat production is projected to decline since most farmers have shifted their focus to maize.

France, buoyed by recent friendly victories and historical success, face the USA, seeking their first-ever Olympic football medal. Under the guidance of iconic coach Thierry Henry, France enters the tournament on a wave of optimism. The presence of overage players like Loïc Badé and Castello Lukeba adds leadership and depth to their lineup, aiming to replicate their historic 1984 Gold medal success on home soil. The absence of Olympic participation since 2008 underlines the significance of this campaign, with the young squad eager to make an impact. Whether Henry's squad can capitalize on their recent form and historical success, or Mitrović's young Americans can defy expectations, remains to be seen.
