This Is Why You Were Called Thieves by the President, Himself

You checked in your workplace at 8.03am, yet the reporting time is at 8.00am. You stole your employer's time.

In the evening you chucked office at 4.57pm yet leaving time is 5.00pm.
Ain't you stealing your employer's time again?

You went to your local restaurant and ordered for ugali and some stew. After clearing the slice of ugali you demanded ’sosa’ saying you won't pay unless you get it. Stealing from restaurant owners? Yes because you paid less for more. 

You promised to meet your best friend for an after-work chat at some Nairobi's downtown hotel at exactly 6.05pm on a Thursday but you arrived 10 minutes late. If you did not steal their precious time then you don't know what theft is.

That careless conductor forgot to collect your fare but you giggled and tapped away the sign of the cross instead of reminding him that he hadn't picked his money. You are not in the NYS scandal list but you could surely be heading there. 

Instead of Mama Mboga giving you a change of Sh190 after buying Sh10-worth of sukuma she gives you Sh490. You majestically walk away thanking the heavens for 'mining' Sh300 out of her pocket. Certainly, the Heavens are seeing you and you will pay for theft when the catalogue of sins are read to you when you check out of this world.

You were asked by your employer to go for an outfield trip but you returned with exaggerated bills with the sole intention of robbing your employer. Those fake taxi, hotel receipts with forged signatures? Isn't that robbery without violence?

On Facebook and Twitter you were quite vibrant and joyous about voting for Peter Kenneth and Martha Karua in the last elections. They spent hours responding to your thumps-up messages but come voting day who did you vote for? Come on that is thievery of the highest order. You deserve some jail term for stealing someone’s political time. 

Now you know why the President called you thieves.
