![]() ![]() I was still trying to figure out what was happening when a fat woman carrying a bottle of whisky came running, screaming that there was a police Land Rover Defender outside. Jatello was busy trying to convince a thin girl that her life would be better off if she gave him her phone number, and I was trying to locate the bar maid who was serving us to come and open my beer, when suddenly the place went deathly quiet. To say that we drank beer that day would be an understatement, because we practically swam in the stuff, and before we realised, it was heading towards midnight. I was in the company of my lake side friend Jatello, who assured me that he had a rich uncle in Tegeta who has a reputation of drowning grown men in cold, frothy Ilala liquid. ![]() The next day I went for my excuse of a car at Zakayo’s, and the engine started as if it has never misbehaved in its entire life, and I decided to go and soothe my throat in Tegeta after calling in sick at the office. But for me that was better than a well-placed frying pan on my bald head. Of course she realised her mistake later after she discovered that the message was from my younger brother, but she left me with a very sore throat and a damaged ego. I think she realised that if she killed me she would be forced to take care of the family single handedly, that is why she released my throat reluctantly, leaving me coughing and sputtering like an old Isuzu engine that is refusing to start. ![]() “I hope umefika poa” read the message, and that Nyakiusa woman did not bother to inquire about the gender of the person who sent the message, and she went for my throat like a veteran wrestler, and I saw the faces of my ancestors flashing before me, with some of them waving as if I was going to board a plane. It did not take mama Boyi long to wake up, and as I was snoring away like an old Fiat truck negotiating the hilly side of Kitonga on high gear, a short message chirped in my phone.īecause the phone is a cheap version of a smart phone, all my attempts to put a password on it had failed, that is why it was always open like a gate of a brothel, and that is how the woman I call my wife took the liberty of reading the message on my behalf while I slept like a well fed baby. Trouble for me started when I returned home in the wee hours of morning after leaving Zakayo’s Pub in my local neighbourhood, and this is after the collection of metal I call my car as usual refused to cooperate and I decided to leave it in the custody of the Maasai guard at Zakayo’s.įor Dar residents, you all know that nowadays there are some parts which suffer from a serious shortage of water, and my neighbourhood is no exception, that is why although I felt like taking a healthy shower before I go to bed, I knew it would start a serious war with the mother of my clan, so I climbed in bed stinking like a broken brewery. You see, I try to believe that I am a very peaceful fellow, even at times when I have swallowed enough frothy liquid to sail a small boat, that is why when the gods conspire against me, I am left with very many unanswered questions. He also said that he wanted to leave the issue of so-called US conspiracy ‘behind.’ This was reported by the Financial Times.THIS week has been a nasty one for me, because several things happened which assured me that the gods decided to put their heads together and come up with a strategy to make sure that my life was a misery. “My question is after seven months tell me any one thing they did better in the country.”Įarlier, Imran Khan had also expressed his intent to mend ties with the United States if he comes back into power. He asked if the establishment was not aware of the wrongdoings of his political opponents. “What was it that in 3.5 years these people (Sharif and Zardari families) were bathed in that they suddenly became acceptable for the establishment and were placed over us?” Imran asked the powerful quarters. PTI Chairman Imran Khan added that the establishment could either take the country in a positive or negative direction. In his broadcast Khan also gave a call to his supporters to reach Rawalpindi on November 26. Khan was addressing his supporters at Long March that is now due to arrive in Rawalpindi. The establishment did not, however, act to stop his ouster from office which he has time and again blamed on a ‘conspiracy’. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said on Saturday that the establishment did not conspire to have him ousted. ![]()
