if he rcvd mpesa/zap/iko pesa - he should have an sms...and the time it was sent...otherwise don't do it...if he is staff...and if he always delivers things, he should know council rules by now. I'd not pay - give him 200 bob for his troubles as a tip...

Give him the benefit of doubt and pay up.

Na wewe dada unashida mob sana... ni nini mbaya.... ??

someone suggested she gets a resident mundulume. This should sort out all such issues.

@essyk, i echo this,"someone suggested she gets a resident mundulume"

Agree 100% with @Djinn's advice. Not sure he would go to the trouble of actually getting his cousin to send him 1,500/= MPESA at the right time.

And for good measure, his phone should show other communication to the same number so allowing you to send back money to 'cousin directly'.

Though of course, your suspicions will damage your relationship for now...

Now this is really the kind of questions I need to ask in an amicable way.
uuhm relationship? i hardly ever see him that often but one staff told me I made a mistake of picking him!



If he fails to give me back, I will ensure its deducted from his salo. That will even be more trouble 4 him.
I prefer one that borrows to one who cons.

the watchman and the rider.

@Elder, you are funny ha ha ha.

On a serious note, this guy might have landed on some problem with kanjo, just confirm first as @Djinn suggested.

I say this because the other day a boy I know was riding his bicycle (I mean bicycle) along the slaps on the sides of the road where pedestrians walk, was stopped by "kanjo guys" along Uhuru Highway and him that he's arrested.

Infact I should start a new thread where we can share all new City rules that we may not be aware of!

BUSTED!! MUMU RIDER NKT.



I followed the above advice and this is how it went.

He walks in wearing a hard depressed face and I change mine into an NSIS one.
Me: What the hell happened?
Rider: (stammering) I was arrested and i had to cough out 1,500 to secure my freedom.
Me: And where did you get the money from?
R: My cousin sent me
Me: Why did you free yourself? You asked me to pay at the council or send you the cash,well I was in the process of doing that and God knows how far I had gone only for you to tell me that your cousin sent you bribe money!
So whom did you pay since the guys weren't around?
R: The fellow I was with at the yard! ( rem this guy had told me he couldn't help him cz hes wasn't involved)
Me: Ok so he finally changed his mind? ok
Rider looks at me expectedly not knowing I was boiling inside.
Me: Okay I am going to take this matter up with kanjo. Can you please show me the transaction which took place on ur phone?
Rider: unataka kuona simu ya nini? si mimi nimekuambia cousin yangu alinitumia blablabla.
Me: Yeah yeah I still want to see no.of the kanjo guy who took your money cz I am going to bust him.No body messes with me.* Hard face*

He is shocked his hands start shaking,he can't look me straight in the eyes but am not letting go!.
R:Number ni ya cousin yangu,unataka kufanya nini nayo?
Me: I am not interested in ur cousin's no. I want to see the mpesa transaction btwn ur cuz,you and finally the kanjo.That I will follow up. I am carrying out an investigation on this cz I need to know why they arrested you and on what charges cz I am not paying this till I know.
R: Si mimi nimekwambia pesa ni yangu nililipa kanjo!!
Me: But you just told me that ur cuz sent you the money!!

R: Madam,*gives me the pesticide* chukua dawa change ndio hii. He gives me sh.200 instead of 670! and proceeds to tell me that he added my change to the bribe money sent by the cousin!
Now he's forgotten that he had told me his cousin sent him sh.1500 then few min later said he paid out of his pocket.
Talk of confusion.
I finally ask him 'was there an mpesa place inside the yard?
R: Hapana
Me: So how did you withdraw and secure your freedom?

By then he was tired of being grilled.He wanted me to vanish and leave the matter alone.

I let the sh470 go* pretended it was money for his troubles*
I left him knowing I wasn't the Mumu he thought I was.

Nyau.
