Lakini Survival Math ya Eldoret achana nayo I have just remembered at time like this last year I had an assignment in Eldoret and I was staying in an Airbnb. On day 2, Supper time came and I decided to step out to see what I could get after a long tedious day. I found a watchman manning the building outside the gate standing. I said hi to him and he responded warmingly. Immediately I noticed accent ni ya mouth. I went on to ask him in Kalenjin if there was a restaurant nearby that offers local meals. I was craving ugali matumbo. He said yes and offered to show me the place. It was just about 200 metres away. Next to the apartment there was a kinda 3 star hotel and warned me not to go there. He told me tea is 200 bob. Ground that is very expensive na kuna local ya 30-50bob😄. In his expression, I knew he was from the tribe that largerly occupies view point We arrived at the the joint and he told me he will be sitted at the back near the door to watch news. I sat near the counter cause it was a bit cold. I orded ugali, matumbo and of course TEA guys to keep me warm. I then told the waiter to go ask the man what he will take. The waiter came back told me smilingly he has said he wil have Ugali+Fry, and tea. However, since he had taken his supper, he will take tea and chapati, but the Ugali+Fry be carried forward to tomorrow 😄. Sharp man I nodded to him at the back with sawa. Ate, paid and went back to the Airbnb. The rest of the days I spent there man gave me huge smiles each time I walked in jioni. Hesabu ya watu wa Eldoret achana nayo
