The Cutting Edge

A seven-foot puff adder in a well in Kangundo? That can’t be, says I. Kimani. According to Kimani, if there was such a big puff adder, it would be an automatic entry into the Guinness Book of Records.

The reptile, which is a source of agony for the grandmother in Machakos, having blocked access to the water, Kimani declares, “must be a python”.

With money in his M-Pesa account, Peter Gakuya was quite confident when he walked into a Safaricom shop at Thika Town to buy a modem.

Says he: “When I asked if I could buy the modem using my M-Pesa, they said I should withdraw the money and pay cash. I felt bad because, thanks to Safaricom, I no longer have to carry cash around. It was quite surprising! They should be the first to accept use of their own service.”

Have an easier day, won’t you!
