One afternoon after successfully towing a truck from Tana Delta to Msa Muarabu summoned me into his spacious air conditioned office and after his usual unprintable greetings was offered a seat alafu karushiwa note book and he instructed me to make a list of our best drivers, Muarabu sio mtu wa kuulizwa maswali akikuambia jump unajump so being very curious I penned down four of our best drivers. Deree wawili mimi ndio nilikua nimewaleta na hao wengine had found them there in the kambuni. I handed him the list na after kusoma majina akacheka kaa ananirushia diary yake where he had scrolled down the same names that were on my list. Its then that he told me about his latest contract of which he was to transport 4 high value containers to the capital and that’s why he needed his best derees. We then got down to analyzing them one by one. On top we had Kigen, a crazy Kipsigis who had been with the company for over 20 yrs, yeye ndie alianza maneno ya kufunga barabara ukipat...
In the late 80s after clearing high school I was a kanda ya moko in Githurai while waiting to go to college, Githurai was growing at a rapid pace na kazi zilikua kibao, mshahala ilikua 40 bob per day which was more than enough for a teenager who had no obligations, didn’t drink, didn’t smoke and was paying no rent, pesa yote ilikua yakununua nguo and the kaoccasional movie Kenya Cinema or 20 th century, slices siku hizo zilikuaanga free na ata sikuzingine nilikua nalinga vile zilikua mob. One bag of cement was going for 85 bob and y12 53 bob. bei ya beer I think was less than 4 bob and bus fare to tao was 1 bob.

Have you ever had to run for dear life? Ushawai kimbia yako yote mpaka rev meter inasoma 30000 revs/minute? have you ever been scared shitless coz of what is about to happen to you? Well it happened to me once and I remember it like yesterday although it was late 1999. How had I got myself in such a situation? Lets start from the beginning. It had all begun 6 months earlier when I met a fat male Corinthian in Githurai 44 who had been mobbed by tens of people, moving closer to see what was not happening I found out that he was selling compact tapes for kshs 40 only. My shiny eye mind kicked in and I wanted to know more about the source of this tapes so I could also join in on the money train, minimum mtu alikua ananunua ni tano. After the crowd thinned abit I had a chance to talk to the Corinthian and like a real mudu wa nyumba akasema ili aniambie siri za hio biznaa I had to buy all he had first at 20bob a piece, hakuficha eti ilikua ni faida yake. Tulihesabu zote na n...
