The year is 2018, naishi this kaplot … A very cheap one coz rent used to be 1700/= per month .
Back then I had just been fired from the school I used to teach so I was adopting in the juakali sector…lucky for me I had a bike I could hustle kwa bodaboda + a kinyozi … So life was manageable…
It’s then that gated community houses were sprouting in Juja , akina Banda homes and the rest …
Hapo kwa plot some middle aged men came looking for a room … The caretaker akawaonyesha room …walikuwa wawili … Nikaona jioni wamekam na two big cartons , na few utensils …Hadi curtain ya dirisha hawakuwa nayo …weeeeeh I got to learn their names as we interacted that week both were mafundis earning 6200/= per week …that means by 1st week wangejipanga POA wangenunua atlist matress …
2nd week I realised Bado wanajiangusha chini , I had an extra matress n blanket nikiwapea on condition wakilipwa watanipea just 1000/= sikutaki mob…
Come that weekend majamaa kulipwa Ni sherehe tu , bangi na miraa…I wasn’t paid after asking wakaaza oooooh nilitumia wife pesa ochaaaa, oooohhhh mathee alikuwa msick …etc I ignored asking the cash again …they continued working there for another 5 months ndio kazi ikasimama majamaa plus I’ll matress wakavanish …they even had rent arrears of 2 months …
