Let’s go back to kiosk businesses which I had employed a boy and a lady who were all brought by my sister. The business was good running well but I had little time with them .

Other facilities for the bar I had my home bench, table and five plastic chairs which I decided to use. Now I had four businesses to monitor daily to ensure they are running smoothly and stock availability. The only business I was getting salary was the Mwandoki Enterprise before introducing Vision stores. Sometimes I ended up using my salary to fix the kiosks and bar joint.
It happened one evening I came from market with kiosk stock which I had purchased. It was two sacks of mwea rice and three small sacks of assorted cereals.

I got surprised, I requested him to open the door because I wanted to know how has been business and which products I should bring next , then know the available cash in hand. The boy responded directly by saying, “told not to allow you inside the shop .” by your in law. I just said what?

Remember the founder was my Past on brother, handled a bit by my past on sister before I took full responsibility without salary and ended up thrown out like thrash when business was booming without a penny in the pocket.
