READ MORE TO LIVE LONGER LIFE
By Gichunge WA M’Thirua

Publishing of documents and books is a very expensive industry in Kenya. It is expensive because Kenyans have never acquired high standard publishing machines and equipment in the country. Kenyans read imported books though the contents of those books are sometimes local materials. Kenyans trust imported National Examinations, they trust imported election materials and they trust imported books printed in foreign countries. Kenyans should learn to trust their own!

Today, all Kenyans complain about the cost of textbooks for their children in Schools. Most of those books are imports into the country. The books could be availed locally if Kenyan Government encouraged Publishing Industry in Kenya. As of now, the Government has never imagined how much foreign exchange goes into books’ imports in the country. Instead, leaders view books’ importers and manufacturers as exploiters while they do nothing to save the situation. The cost of transportation of materials into the country is a burden that may eliminate through local manufacturing industries.

It is better to import technology and embrace it than keep importing technological products year in and year out in our lives. Why not buy the machine that makes blocks and make your own blocks, instead of buying blocks forever?

Today, we know that Kenyans are mature and have talents in writing, editing, designing, formatting, publishing, translating, and marketing skills to establish vibrant Publishing Industry in Kenya and supply the required books in Kenyan schools, colleges, and universities. Kenyans are never short of talents but they only need encouragement. Towards this end, we have decided to edit this book to inspire our young writers to take up the “Horns of Publishing Industry in Kenya” as an enterprise that may save foreign exchange for Kenyans in future.

Publishing Industry is a challenge to the upcoming entrepreneurs and readers in Kenya. Just read this edition to get insight on what awaits young Kenyans in the Publishing Industry in their future. This book is minor in its contents, but it carries a very heavy, weighty, and an important message to the future entrepreneurs of Kenya and East Africans in general.

People who read books live longer than those idlers who spend their time alone in their homes either conducting businesses or passing their time alone in their homes. Reading an enticing story energizes your senses and makes you younger by a fraction of a year or day in your life. When you try to read the same story repeatedly, your senses bring you energy to remember the story and that way your life becomes revitalized to continue alertness that brings your life back to some years past. Just try that trick and try it repeatedly and you will experience the result and good outcome.

Read more and live longer to encourage others to create a reading culture in your village. Old people are assets in their villages because they provide wisdom and good judgments into the issues that concern the communities. Communities thrive through wisdom and sound judgments of its leaders who rely on advice from old persons. On the other hand, young people who live with grandparents grow up to be intellectuals in the communities. If you did not know that, please try to find out through observations or inquiries.
