i remember that Sunday very well as nilikua works pale the old big Githurai roundabout selling my wares with a sony doble deck radio casette with detachable speakers, being a news buff who listens to news headlines every end of the hr sikuamini ile kitu niliskia, eti our beautiful princess ametuacha, FM stations were in their infancy and i had to tune to BBC world news on S/W, people around me wakashangaa nimezima mziki kwanini and yet i had customers nikawashow wanyamaze tuskize, the BBC confirmed the sad news and we all fell silent, imagine soko mzima iliomboleza, had an import on tow na alikua na rafiki yake and they started crying, Haiya, kumbe Diana was well loved in Kenya too.
saa hio hio nikaachia kijanaa job kakimbia home pale nilikua nimetap DSThieves kutoka kwa neighbor, DSTV those days ilikua yaja na aerial “300” meters long and if you tuned your tv ulikua wapa hizo channel, for the rest of the afternoon i was locked on to the news station tukigojea tuambiwe how our Princess had met her death.
Then siku ya mazisi Elton John akaachilia hii ngoma dedicated to Diana

hawakua wameadopt technology ya dish, the dstv signal then was anologue hence the need for a very powerful long aerial kwa mwenye kuweka, na walio karibu walikua waangukia
