Kirinyaga, Kenya: Retrenchment is a life changing episode. When it comes some bury their sorrows in alcohol, others in depression and the brave ones do something constructive. Fleciah Wambui Kinyua, 52, is among the brave.
After being retrenched by the Ministry of Health in 2000, Ms Kinyua, went into farming. The transition was not as bumpy because she and her husband were practising farming on their five-acre farm in Karinga area, Kirinyaga Central sub-county.
