"I have a big challenge with my work because am supposed to earn a KES. 8,000 salary but my employer is arrogant. He deducts KES.4,000 monthly claiming that it will cover for unforseen costs in the operation of the gas station. It is so unfortunate because we can do nothing about the situation and my salary is just high on paper but not in reality. This strains our expenditure because we have to be so cautious on what we spend on. School fee always comes first then other needs which are rarely met."
