As a resident of Nakuru, I have made several observations, regarding meat and its sellers, the butchers.
This is how some of the butchers around Nakuru are stealing your meat and making you pay more for less merchandise.
For butchers, especially at a time when most are using the digital weight scale which tallies the amount supposed to be paid against the meat, they are using tricks to sell lesser meat at a higher price.
This, some of them do by placing lesser meat on the scale and then dropping or throwing another piece on the scale.
This makes the count shoot up because of the force and sudden excessive pressure at which the piece drops.
The merchandise is then quickly picked and packaged before the tally settles, leading you into thinking that they given you more.
A similar thing happens at the choma bases, where men order for roast meat to catch up after a hard day's work.
One of the rules in such places is that you buy the meat at the butcher and have it roasted at a small cost.
However, as a lover of choma, I have realized that I end up losing and getting lesser meat as the blood and water that made it heavier dry up on the barbeque mesh.
It's also worth noting that the people who roast it always chop off some pieces to munch, under the narrative that they are tasting if it is ready.
Some butchers will also sell you wet and soaked meat, making it better to not go for the already chopped meat on the glass below the counter.
Instead, insist on having it cut off from the piece hanging on the hook.
