Tried to log into my bank this morning
Not a new bank. My bank. The one that has my money
First it wanted my password
Wrong
Tried the other one
Wrong
Reset it
"New password cannot match any of your last 24 passwords"
That is every password I have ever used
Created a new one that I will forget next week
Then it said "please verify you are human"
I am human
I have a mortgage
I paid $52.18 for bread, milk, and eggs last week
Only a human would do that
But the bank was not convinced
"Select all squares with traffic lights"
Nine squares
Three had traffic lights
One had the edge of a traffic light pole
Maybe two pixels of yellow paint
Stared at it for a full minute
Selected it
Wrong
"Select all squares with stairs"
Two squares had stairs
One had a ramp
Is a ramp stairs
A ramp is the opposite of stairs
I selected the two obvious ones
Wrong
It wanted the ramp
I am a CFO
I've fired people with more due process than this
But I cannot pass a test designed to keep bots out of my own checking account
"Click and hold until the image stops moving"
A jigsaw puzzle piece floated across the screen
Held it
"Verification failed"
Held it for thirteen seconds
My finger cramped
"Success"
Then a new screen
"Your account has been locked due to suspicious activity"
The suspicious activity was me
Trying to access my own account
Called customer service
The phone menu had ten options
None of them were "your website thinks I am a robot"
Thirty-seven minutes on hold
The same fourteen seconds of smooth jazz
Looping
Every ninety seconds a voice told me my call was important
It did not sound important
Finally a man answered
"Thank you for holding, my name is John"
That man's name was not John
We both knew it
I did not press the issue
John asked for my mother's maiden name, my first pet, and the street I grew up on
He unlocked the account in forty seconds
Forty seconds
The bank trusts John more than me
And John does not exist
Final tally
Nineteen minutes of captchas
Thirty-seven minutes of smooth jazz
One man who was not named John
To access money that is mine
At an institution that emails me every single day asking if I want a home equity line of credit
My wife walked in
She said "what are you doing"
I said "proving to a computer that I'm not a computer"
She said "are you winning"
I said "I just spent an hour deciding if a ramp is stairs"
She said "that sounds like something a computer would do"
She wasn't wrong
She usually isn't
Plz fix. Thx.

Most network payment systems including @SafaricomPLC MPESA are down since early morning. A total inconvenience. A failure that may be manipulated at greater scale and extended periods in the near future.
@047County@SakajaJohnson This statement doesn't mention an Audit of all approvals done in Analo's tenure. Only explanation is the Governor was also in on it.

I have so many funny stories about my mother. I remember when she got appointed acting Governor of the CBK, they had this Range Rover assigned to her. She got so pissed off about it, she hardly used it. She liked her Peugeot 504 which used to jerk from a sensitive clutch.

These are the statements you hear at 9:30AM when you inquire whether a Magistrate is sitting.
In some stations, Court starts at 9:00AM only on the Cause List. In others that have full physical sessions, you'll only be notified that the JO is away on official duty, indisposed on that day towards 10AM.
@LeviMunyeri There is a misconception even among Advocates that what we do is defend accused persons or even manifest criminals yet to be adjudged guilty.
We REPRESENT accused persons.
