One year ago this may well…

One year ago this may well have been half of the man's entire stock. For one year he lost a business opportunity by selling on credit. He should have carried with him the sign that says "hakuna deni kuja kesho". So he deserves interest, compensation for loss of business opportunity, the "embarrassment" of asking for his one-year-old deni, lack of access to the person he sold to (badala akuje tuongee anatuma watu wengine hata siwajui!), the anguish of seeing his debtor spend millions on buying for "others" railroads, planes, bridges, schools, hospitals, paying doctors, teachers, senators, governors, MCA , but not sparing a cent for his deeds. With a good PR representation this vendor can come up with some hilarious and fictitious compensation "claims" to be famous. After the compensation, then the man may pay kanju fees for selling on the streets. Jokes aside pay this for the goodwill not the chewing gum. Or this is your way of deterring future copycats?I get it now.
