I had considered myself retired from this forum, but a disturbing spate of events begged my attention. Could someone please explain to me why we import some primitive, criminal, uncouth, and utterly despicable behaviours abroad?
Just this past Memorial weekend, two of my buddies 'lost' their wallets and cell phones while attending a Kenyan bash in Houston. The wallets were recovered later, minus the valuables of course! This happened on a Thursday, and the poor chaps could not wait to fly back home the following Monday. Their weekend was totally ruined.
The second case occured in San Diego during the USA Rugby 7s in February 08. Apparently someone 'broke' into a room occupied by a group of about six Kenyans, a hotel room I might add. They made away with digital cameras, laptops, camcorders, and other items. No way in hell was this a random case of vandalism. The hotel had a large number of Kenyans who had travelled for the event.
The next one is simply annoying, but I still manage a chuckle every time I remember the incident. I had travelled to MN to attend my cousin's graduation, so we took her out for the evening. We went to a club that was hosting 'Kenyan Graduation Night' and let her relieve some stress. I ordered a few drinks, paid for them, and then turned around to talk to a colleague. I turned back and the drinks were gone, plus the tip I had left! Unfortunately for the culprit,
one member from our group was seated at the opposite end with a camcorder in hand. The entire incident had been
caught on tape! We accosted the thief who went on to apologise and claim that he was drunk. He had put the beers in his pant pockets, and gulped down the mixed drinks.
So please explain to me, why? Ni umaskini ama ni mazoea?
