Alongside his post were several photos of people queuing to pay for goods. It has since emerged that Alfred did actually own a Supermarket and a source close to…
Empty promises give birth to petty offences. When I moved in with Pascal Kiboi, pregnant with our first child, the agreement was, within a year he would make arrangements to go see my parents and pay my dowry in full.
