Recently, I asked my focus group discussion participants about bad manners. One of the participants told me that bad manners is when you poke your nose into other people’s affairs. Other participants agreed with him. So every time I go to Kibera, ‘I do bad manners (direct translation from Swahili) because I have to poke my nose into other people’s affairs….and I have to poke it to the heart of their affairs …I have no option…I just have to probe and prompt!
