I was driving when I noticed a traffic camera flash as I passed. I knew I wasn't speeding, so I figured it had to be a mistake.
Just to be sure, I turned around and drove past the same spot again, this time even slower. Flash!
Curious now, I went around again, driving at a snail's pace. Flash!
At this point, I thought it was hilarious, so I passed by two more times, each slower than the last. Flash, flash!
I couldn't stop laughing. I was convinced the camera was broken.
Two weeks later, five tickets arrived in the my mail...
Every single one was for driving without a seat belt. 😂
The rule of having money in Kenya is easy:
The more money you have, the more immunity you can buy, and more special privileges you enjoy from institutions that are supposed to consider everyone equal.
The flipside: More money you have, the more likely someone with more money than you will take interest in your wealth - and they enjoy more special privileges than you...

“Light nigga, dark nigga, faux nigga, real nigga, rich nigga, poor nigga, house nigga, field nigga..
Still nigga, still nigga.”
