True, this is an interestingly tragic case that will be the norm postcorona. Let me run round it! The couple are just apathetic. Resigning to belief that gods, is the most destructive virus one can embrace. The protestant spirit by most people is that as much as you profess jesus, allah, krishan and such deities- YOU take charge. You bend corners, hustle for the best you can scratch out of crazy life not this resignation.
Even when being given a fair kick in the ass by the young pragmatic slumlady, the couple is there crying like helpless children. Charity will come through for them though not for long. Likely they blew off IDPs monies. You can see bullshit when she insists that she needs/will pay 10k arrears to the slum lady while they have been she don't need their monies and should just just fuck off!! I have seen this worrying comfort zones all over and can't fathom what goes on? Corona disruption will totally mess up most of our quicksand comfort zones as long as the virus lingers somewhere.
The man is a senile zombie- a case with most men with no stable income in urban slums; why the woman is jumping about embarrassment is obviously cover-up of the kukaliwa that man is going through. She talks of how she earned the 3K only for the man to indicate they work together!
They have all the time in the world to look for cheaper accomodation but are stuck with shitlife. There are cheaper houses all over Nairobi lower slums (this seems like a chicken coop extension in a well off residential area) and areas like Kitengela, Rongai where they can have even a mechanical cheaper yard. You can tell the woman was used to fast live, reason he pressured the man to come to Nairobi - wasikufie ukambani - evidence is there that they will die miserably just like majority nyeuthi whether in Sudan, Haiti or Papua given since we have no sustainable structures for vulnerables.
I have always wondered how those affected by Tsunamis, earthquakes, wildfires recover in the developed world recover - it is clear there are well thought out direct interventions by governments and communities involving loads and loads of monies.
Sad situation. It would be helpful to hear the landlord side of the story rather than one sided story. How do you rent out a house without a toilet? The poor lady has been let down by the community, government, judiciary and everybody else and the unfortunate truth is that this case that can be duplicated a million times in that jubilee heaven called kenya. Even within your family. As the economy continues to collapse under uhuruto more cases like this will continue to pop up until eventually we have more defaulters then it's free for all. If you are a slumlord like yours truly be nice to your tenants they might be your landlord sooner than you think.
