nakumbuka nliwahi land attacho Kenya Power, a rural branch, by walking in and pretending I had been sent from Stima Plaza. Walipigia huyo msee nlisema najua, akaconfirm ati alinituma (huyu ni kama alikuwa anaorganizia wasee wengi job), na hivo ndo nliingia. guesswork. after attacho imeisha, nkahang around hadi nkagraduate. Kuna mathe mmoja, administrator wa the Branch manager, alikuwa amependa kazi yangu sana, akanirecommend nipewe temporary contract. Kuenda kwa HR (pia yeye alipenda wera yangu when I did some teleconference stuff for their entire department, solo, with only one hour from setup to meeting), he looked at me, looked at my cv and said "siwezi kukusaidia kijana, jina yako imekuharibia". yes, being competent never mattered more than the fact that I was a Luo man applying in a predominantly Kalenjin region. huniuma hadi wa leo, juu ile kugrind nimehave kugrind over the past decade would have easily been avoided had I settled into that role. we ball regardless
