Last Jamhuri day the chief announced a new rule to ban the only bar in our shopping centre. This was after her daughter opened a hotel next to the popular Kumi Kali watering hole. When the loud club was full to the blim, the hotel rarely had customers. Only afew chief's friends like Mzee Kimari who eats there on credit hoping to encounter fortune someday and pay.
The chief's daughter had exhausted all marketing tips she had learnt from friends and online including printing fliers and placing painted tires at the hotel front. Since most people are farmers, she came up with a uniform which included orange gumboots as part of the foot wear. They had to be abandoned it when boiling porridge poured into a cooks right leg.
After she introduced a tv, drunkards would leave the club for the hotel next door to watch news. They would buy an andazi worth 5 ksh and ask for free water or carry drinks from the club. That would not go well with the chief's daughter, but getting tough on them would end up losing them.
One day there was a confrontation between the Chief's daughter and the club management over suspicious disappearances of liquor mugs. They decided to invade the hotel after seeing people taking tea in their mugs. There was a burial that had attracted a huge crowd making our little shopping centre vibrant for once. The club recovered 3 dozens of their mugs with the labels scratched.
The club went and bought the first flat screen TV in the entire hood. Revellers would no longer have to switch to the hotel to watch news. This didn't go well with the chief's daughter as there were even two days in a row she didn't sell anything. She sought her father's assistance that ended up rattling the village. The chief announced to cancel the license of the only bar in the hood to end competition.
This didn't go well with the brew lovers. Led by Thanju and Kinogu, they started pouring raw human waste at the hotel entrance and defaced it's walls at night. Insecurity also got on the rise as drunkards would be attacked at night and robbed when walking back from watering holes in adjacent villages.
Everybody including the church could not hold it any longer. It had become too hot to grip. It started by the chief and his family getting kicked out of the church followed by a demonstration. The worst was when a villager added fangi into tea leaves in high quantity. Whenever anyone ordered tea, even before finishing it, they would become disorderly and refuse to pay.
