Okay, give me your number.

Hello.

All the drivers have left.

Okay-

Let me figure out what to do.

Yes.

What was your name again?

- Kenzo.

The MP's wife has car trouble

and she needs to get to a meeting.

Mechanic, come over here.

I'm sending you with this guy.

Go as fast as you can.

If you get there in ten minutes,

you might get the job.

Who is he?

Sammy sent him with me.

He is a new driver.

I can't wait.

Can you take me to Maua?

My grandson in Nairobi

buys a bundle for 500 Kenyan shillings.

A bundle is about four to five stems.

Do the math.

Even if Amos buys a kilo from us

for as much as 22.000 shillings,

he still makes a profit.

With all due respect to Mzee, I think

Amos has done a lot for the community.

In business there are always people

who make more than others.

If we start pushing Amos,

we might ruin things.

So do we just sit

and watch him oppress us?

For me things are fine the way they are.

- Then why isn't he here?

I won't be part of that union.

Those who want more money

should buy a bigger farm

and plant more veve trees.

- Yes. That's how it should be.

Amos's wife is here.

Let's welcome her.

She might have a solution.

Welcome.

Hello.

I bring greetings from my husband Amos.

I'm deeply touched

by your warm reception. Thank you!

Yes.

Amos has done a lot for the community.

He's concerned about your welfare.

Amos wants Maua to flourish.

Haven't you seen

the development? Right?

He's oppressing us.

I believe

Amos will agree to your buying price.

IdonT believe he will.

Do you think I was right?

What about?

Telling them

that their demands would be met.

Do you want me

to tell you the truth or otherwise?

The truth.

It seems this issue

has been bothering them for a while.

Telling them anything else

would have been wrong.

How could I have known their problems?

I barely know them.

It's good

you were there to listen to them.

They're not used to that.

True.

Why did you tell the farmers

I'd agree to their demands?

I'm happy to see you.

I hope you had a nice day.

Okay-

How was your day?

Fine.

They're not asking for much.

You were supposed

to give a few remarks.

And I did.

Amos.

Don't bother. I'll find a solution.

Are there many?

I haven't hired you yet. Return this car

to the MP's residence.

Okay?

Then

you can take the bus back.

Am I an errand boy now?

- What?

Give it back.

Hurry up! Don't be sluggish.

Hello? - Hello, Sammy?

- What's the matter?

Where's Kenzo staying?

- In Maua. Why?

He left something in the car.

- I can send someone.

No, no, don't worry, I'll handle it.

Alright.

- Okay.

That's none of your business.

It's going to be a shopping mall.
