WHEN THE GAP IS BIG

Two steps and the camera could have gone. I do my best to hide the thing and put on a casual wear. When one of the two boys a whisper away asked me twenty shillings, I pretended to be busy and took the opposite way- I was heading where they were going. Confused, I accelerated slowly and took to a slow run as they shouted, 'utanyang'anywa hapo mbele'. Good that the place was deserted. As I thought of how I have been warned from using the road, Obama came in my mind. If so we will change- we who can hear- what about the people in the slums? The poor? The ignorant?

Later I had witnessed three men carrying a rather drunk than sick fellow. They staggered too. The government has of late been hard on the sell of illicit brews but not all hotspots have been visited. Evil lies in the furthest of corners where goodness may be hesitant to visit. More efforts are needed down there and the media should be in to this as it was on Obama's visit.
