The past week or so I have portrayed Raila Odinga as a simplistic nincompoop, a guy playing checkers in a public park where grandmasters are playing 3D chess.
Until I though about it once more after seeing the developments of the past few days. Hear me out...
Raila met with Kivutha Kibwana for "brunch" last week Thursday. By Monday morning, Kenya's hope for a policy led presidency in 2022 were drowned after Kivutha Kibwana endorsed the BBI through his own Makueni County Assembly despite citizens rejecting it in the County.

It had been raining heavily for the past 3 hours on this cold night in Nairobi's sprawling Mathare slum. Cyprian Nyakundi was hunched infront of his 2008 Mac Book Pro typing away furiously and his friend Nyamweya lay on the bare 4 by 6 mattress beside him.
Nyamweya was an associate of Nyakundi, and they had spent a few years together coming up with small schemes to make money to survive in the concrete jungle that was the city in the sun.

It was a hot Sunday afternoon in Mombasa back in the year 2002. *James (not his real name), was going about his work as a banqueting waiter at the poolside of this hotel setting up for the night's private dinner party. The hotel's manager, a short and stout Indian man with...
...thinning hair on his head walked up to James fuming furiously and loudly, something about the set up being wrong. James is a calm guy. He politely asked him what the problem was.

I just had an amazing conversation with two male colleagues regarding cheating (being cheated on by girls) and its a difficult topic for us men to discuss. We are all in our 30's (one recently got engaged two single) and we struggled to tell our stories. Its painful.
The currently engaged guy was 24 when he first found out he was being cheated on. He was dating this girl in Dar while he was working in the gold mines. He would come to Dar to visit her every time he got his break and he was paying for their house in Kinondoni with their child

A few years ago when I was still working in Diani, my job description included running the banquets/events since there was no one fully designated to do that job and since it fell under my department I had no choice but to do it.
One thing about banquets, its always back breaking work. In a resort, its worse because most of the conference groups tend to spend at least 3 days for a conference. Some can go upto a week. This is a lot of hard work since menu planning has to be very precise.

I have a mug of black tea infront of me. I can feel the juices of creativity flowing. Its time I start Season 5 of my life story Thread.
It took two weeks to clear with my employer. It got heated at one point since the Capetonian wanted to scuttle my agreement with the owner. I had to call him to tell him what was going on. The guy backed off and stuck to the terms of my resignation.
