The bored and sexually starved white wives of Karen have no problems paying four times to a plumber who does more than just fixing water pipes and the clogged sink. We spoke to casual labourers including carpenters, taxi driver, watu wa rangi and electricians who recounted many incidents of being lured into sexual sessions by odiero housewives when they go for light house jobs in Karen. The jungu housewives, it emerges, prefer plumbers who come and go to life-long gardeners and male cooks who can turn into ‘live wire’ by not keeping secrets.
Guards and dog trainers are also kept out of the picture since they’re always hovering around and having constant conversations with the husband. Joel Ndegwa* is a city based electrician who went for a small time engagement in Karen and got more than he have bargained for. Joel fell into the hands an older white woman two years ago when he was hired to repair her house’s broken bulbs.
