Siku moja mimi huyooo...karauka 4:30 on an early job assignment to Nanyuki. I fired up my 'MY ROAD' from the sleepy beautiful Muranga, meandered downhill several kms till I crossed Mathioya river towards Sagana. A few metres uphill is the disused, snaking relic railway line that ends in Nyk. Kuruka bump no 1, loud grinding noise underneath. For starters, I knew I was totally screwed by saitani. I thought the engine was kaput, or the gearbox. Avai! Na hiyo giza! In a deep valley!
For 4hrs I waited for the animal kingdom to arise.
Kumbe it was just the left wheel axle that had come off. Siku hiyo ndio nilijua umuhimu wa akili!
TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
