REACTION OF A "RICH KID" IN MEETING "POOR KENYAns"

A driver working for a prominent
political family got the shock of the
year over the weekend. He regretted
a decision to drive through one of
the city’s crowded bus termini on his
way from the airport.
This was because of the questions he
was bombarded with by the son of his
employer who had just jetted back
from his high school studies abroad.
“Is there a concert in town or what?”
asked Mdosi Junior, when he saw
huge crowds at the termini.
With Mdosi Junior’s short stays in the
country restricted to shopping malls,
exclusive holiday resorts and golf
camps, this was unfamiliar territory
for the highly sheltered teenager.
When told that these were stranded
people following night travel ban,
Mdosi Junior was quite shocked.
“Why can‘t they use their personal
cars instead?” he asked. “I am sure
those ones are not banned from
travelling at night. And even if their
personal cars are grounded for some
mechanical reason or the other, they
can take them to the garage where
they will get a temporary
replacement car.
Any self-respecting garage should
have such a facility!” he said.
