"...Ensure the kids finish their homework on time and their usual bedtime at 8.00pm after supper, okay? Call me if there is anything you guys need. I will send you money for supper via M-Pesa. Bye."

That was a conversation between my friend Maggie and her domestic manager, or house-help as we commonly refer to them. I had walked in on Maggie while on phone, as she sips a cup of coffee during a tea-break at a consultative workshop for different organizations in one of the hotels in Nairobi. We had sat on the same table earlier at the meeting which means we had no time to catch up.
