Madam Raychelle Omamo please listen to my story

Cabinet Secretary Rachel Omamo

Someone wake me up from this terrible nightmare before I start screaming and  in my four-walled mansion! Raychelle, my dear, I wish you could just spend a day in my life, maybe, just maybe, you will understand why I have not been able to sleep after you decided to make me pay my domestic worker Sh10,954!

I live on the seventh floor in a bedsitter somewhere in Komayole. You know the place, right? My rent is Sh3,500 and guess what? Sometimes I have to duck from the landlord for not paying it on time. I work somewhere in Industrial Area. I make some of the human hair weaves that possibly grace some dignified heads on those special occasions. I have to report to work at 7am, that means I have to leave the house at 5.30am to beat traffic.
