A story is told of how the nabobs at State House, actually the Comptroller Eliud Mathu, changed eggs supplier because he was getting into the poultry business.
Good old Jomo noticed the new eggs were smaller and had Mrs Mwathi, the housekeeper, explain why the size of the 'presidential eggs' had shrunk. The explanation was that the previous supplier had no government tender, but UK's old man would have none of it.
