There was mixed reaction as Kenyans on social media shared their views amid an innovation in Kakamega County where an engineer has designed a machine that can reportedly cook ugali in 3 minutes.
Ugali is Kenya’s staple meal, even though the format for its preparations varies in the communities.
In a video on social media, a man is seen mixing the maize flour in a cooking pot.
Instead of using a cooking stick (mwiko) to prepare the meal, he instead has a mixer connected to electricity at his luxury.
The post mentioned that the meal is prepared in three minutes instead of the usual 10, a statement that made most of the readers take note.
I’m sorry but all I see is manual labour that’s no different from the conventional way of cooking ugali. Only departure from the norm is the “electronic” mwiko https://t.co/16ZDeouB67
