The Hustler Narrative


The meaning of an hustler in kenya still remain controversial. Their are those who believe an hustler is someone who  toil day in day out to get his or daily bread meaning it is a synonym to poverty, others believe  hustler is an acronym for an entrepreneur,however their those who believe an hustler is an individual who is determined to use any moral or immoral methods to rise to the top of the pyramid. No matter the understanding, the baseline of all is, humble beginning and the method one uses based on morality to rise.
Unfortunately the name hustler has been hijacked by some of individuals in the society to sanitize  their ill gotten wealth or by people who rob and steal to justify their means of earning a living.Their is also a group of politicians who use the name to connect with majority poor pretending to be one of them and gain their support.This will help them to remain in power and continue with thievery and plunder of public resources. This strategy even though may assist a politician to gather majority of votes if not checked, it will create class war.There is a very thin line between an hardworking individual in a capitalist country who has toiled and improved his economic status and somebody who has stolen from public coffers to make a living in the eyes of a poor person. More so if the  hustler narrative is sold portraying the perceived rich as enemies of majority poor.Hustling shouldn't be separated from morality otherwise it remains a time bomb.

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
