The long and short of it is that maji ndio imeleta shida yote.
.
Last week, the Estate formed a committee kushugulikia maji since Kenya Power ya maji had projected there would be no water. Si ndio?

Huku tumekubali stima iende, sio maji.

Alafu, the residents said they did not want anyone from the committee to spearhead the process since we know them.

So ilikuwa tuchange per house, we get a single supplier, and they he provides water to every house. That subcommittee included was formed and tasked to do the work.
Please remember, 256 had come up with the idea and had said it was the committee's idea.

And she'd already sourced quotations from people, and had said it was to cost 4,000 per house. And it's 188 who called her out for making those decisions.

Enegwei!

A committee was formed.
The Committee had:
188: Firestarter.
Ozband: Comm representative.
Treasurer: Monies.
Mrs. 178: Project Manager / Chair of this committee.
Gava Guy: Direction.
108: Ministry of State for Servants' Quarters.
Intercessory Lady: Hii kazi inahitaji maombi.
Head of Security: Security.
First thing committee did isstart the process again and disregard what 256 had already done. Which, of course, classic 256 person did not appreciate. So she has been firing sublime shots in the group.

Mara, 'The committee must be headed by those who have leadership experience.'
Mara, 'It took me less than 1 hour to get contacts and quotations, you people have been sitting for days without giving direction.'

Tena, 'These young people just know how to be vocal but cannot do the work! I will ask the committee to take back this work.'

Amelengwa bado.
The finally, hapa ndio ngori ilianza,

256: [@ Mrs. 178] I expect you to share with me a progress report of your committee within the next 1 hour without any delay. Thank you.

This is like 10pm on Thursday.

Silence still. Usiku imeisha na vita za stray cats and kids fighting.
Next day. Friday early morning.

256: [@ Mrs. 178] I have been waiting for that report since yesterday.
Mrs. 178: Excuse me, [@ 256], I humbly request and suggest you talk to [@ Ozband] about any reports.
256: I have asked you, not him.
Mrs. 178: Tell him I have sent you.
108: Si mlitupatia kazi? Wacheni tufanye.
188: [@ 108] We agreed only the chair is going to speak about the matter. Just eat your breakfast in peace.
256: [@ 188] Kindly bring me up to speed on the issue.
188: [@ 256] Ongea na boss yangu [@ Mrs. 178].

So 256 has been lengwad yo.
Shortly in the afternoon, truck tatu za maji zimeingia. Apparently wameitwa na 256. So they drain water into three houses, and are bringing more.

Head of security is like, 'Ala? What's happening?'

Water boys say they've been asked to fill all the houses with water. By who? 256.
Head of security calls Mrs. 178 and tells her what the drama is. Mrs. 178 consults with the Treasurer and Ozband and they explain to the guys whose houses have received water, they are going to pay for that delivery.

Because water was ideally agreed to come on Saturday morning.
The water boys go & tell 256, and she comes for the committee with everything.

Mvurutano 1 - 2 - 1 - 2!

256 tells her pals the water boys to go, the committee will send money. Mrs. 178's committee say the only thing they 'll send, is nothing.

256 promises Mrs. 178 she'll pay!
Saturday morning comes. By the way hii committee ilikuwa imefanya kazi my friends. They got a guy from the water company and they mapped the entire Estate. They hire a power pump, block and end and then feed the entire Esto water in like 4 hours bila watu kupanda panda tanks.
So anyway, Saturday evening the other water guys come for cash and 256 sends them to Mrs. 178's house. Mrs. 178 tells them he doesn't know what they are taking about. She sends them away, they say tutarudi.

She tells head of security, security is told not to let them in again.
Mrs. 178: [@ 256] Stop sending people to my door. Those who called them and received the water should settle the bill.
256: Pay them from the water money you collected.
Mrs. 178: That money was allocated already, and paid to the people who supplied water today.
256: Find a way!
108: Nimenyamaza ya kutosha by the way.
Mrs. 178: I will not find any way.
256: Just pay them then you can settle with the main committee.
108: Pay them with what?
256: [@ 108] Nobody is talking to you.
Mrs. 178: Pay them with what?
256: [@ Mr. 178] Kindly help settle this issue.
Mrs. 178: That nonsense of mentioning and calling my husband into things ends today.
256: Argh. Just pay.
188: We already closed accounts. Kindly speak to the treasurer about it.
Treasurer: This was personal undertaking, not Estate.
108: [@ Ozband] Kindly help settle this issue.
Treasurer: Even with that, there are people who received water and have not paid and we are being lenient because we know the times are tough for people.

188: And the person who called those water boys has not paid and her car was being washed.

Ozband is not even taking hataaa.
So, 256 wanted Mrs. 178 to dig into her pocket to settle a 16K bill incurred by 256 na kiherehere yake. 4K per house apparently for water we paid 2K per house.
.

Everything looks calm, everybody goes to sleep, round one of water done, next round in 4 days. Everyone is happy.
3:00pm today, Land Cruiser ya gova imeingia mtaani. Straight mpaka kwa gate ya 178: My friend. Wako na water boys ati wamekujia deni.

Water boys say they had been contracted by the committee last week and when they had started working Mrs. 178 stopped them. They want to be paid.
256 is called and says that the water committee was meant to pay.

Mrs. 178 says she knows nothing about that arrangement. Mr. 178 calls 256 to come. She says she's home if he wants to see her.

The boys insist that Mrs. 178 owes them money. She tells them and cops to go to hell.
Cops get pissed. Wakamweka bangili.

108: Starts screaming in the Estate. Everyone comes out. 108 pia yeye akawekwa bangili na akakalishwa chini at being a public nuisance.

Gava Guy comes with his cop and introduces himself and explains what is going on. They release Mrs. 178.
Ozband agrees to pay, the water boys say the debt is 12K.

They say they have to go with 108. 108 tells them 'Mimi kitu najua ni mnyonge hana haki!'

Gava Guy pleads for 108 as well. He is released.

All the while, 256 is standing at her balcony.
So around 8pm, Mrs. 178 posts in the group, 'I swear, tutaheshimiana hapa.'

256: Kitu kidogo karibu ufanye ule kijana wa SQ karibu alale jela. Hii mambo ungemaliza jana.

Mrs. 178: Hii haijaisha.

108: By the way, msione ati naogopa jela.

188: [@ Mrs. 178] Take heart Chairman.
ALUTA CONTINUA!
