Uuuuuh scary huh? Hahaha I know.. I know, it's taboo to even think about it let alone put together organized thoughts and pen er….. type them down.
Growing up and schooling in Butere - Sabatia was not all that fascinating, not with neighboring schools with names like Eshitsitswi, Enyenyesi, Eshinamwenyuli, Ebuchenya, Eshibanga and my very own Ebukolwe. I see folks joke on the interwebs how the name of the school was a contributing factor in performances, well not funny guys, folks in Emuyundi primary do not like that joke at all! Now in a bid to make the names a bit palatable, the prefix E would be dropped like a hot Potato.
My mother worked as a secretary in Siaya, the pay not all that and the proverbial ends would soon refuse to meet. Caught between a baby daddy who wouldn’t chip in and her meagre wages, her only option was to drop me off to her mother. Life in Kisiwa was hard, meals not assured, school fees almost impossible to raise.
I have never caught a break with the Taxi business. What fuels me is the massive gap in my environment and the boundless opportunities that can come with it. Do not be fooled, this is no low hanging fruit...
