You remember the football field
in the neigbouring Kobura village?
It is now a County farm,
The County government turned it
into a sorghum farm,
People say the sorghum will be
harvested and used as raw material for the upcoming brewery.
Atieno, former sub-chief’s
daughter who used to work in an Mpesa shop,
Yes, the one who turned down
Ogwada’s marriage proposal,
You remember Ogwada, the
principal of Ober secondary school, right?
Imagine she is now in America,
Her uncle came and went back with
her to America,
We hear she is now married to a
white man.
River Awelo does not flow
anymore,
It was diverted to irrigate a
private rice farm,
Rumour has it that the owner of
the rice farm is well connected with big people in the government,
Nowadays we get water from
Oluoko’s borehole.
And oh, the new tall building
coming up in the shopping Centre,
It belongs to Rabet, the former
electoral commissioner,
People say he is putting up that
building from the proceeds of corruption,
That that is the reason why he
resigned.
You remember Ochola?
The man who used to sell
mattresses in the market?
He was caught red handed with
Odhiambo’s wife in a hotel room,
He ran away from the angry mob
who wanted to lynch him,
No one knows where he is.
And Ogola, the motorbike thief,
is now a mad man,
He touched the wrong button when
he stole Jaduong’ Oloo’s motorbike,
Rumour has it that Jaduong’ Oloo
sourced for the services of a witchdoctor from Luanda,
Ogola nowadays walk around the
village stark naked.
Adhis, the wife of Pastor Abila,
delivered twins,
Imagine, after eleven years of
childless marriage,
Those who used to mock her
“barrenness” are now hiding their faces in shame,
However, people say that the
twins do not belong to Pastor Abila,
That they look a lot more like
Okello, the secretary of the church council.
Jaduong’ Rasungu died,
We buried him last Saturday,
He succumbed to prostate cancer,
He left behind his three wives,
nine children and three grandchildren.
