Open your eyes, soak it in.<\/p>\n<p>They say, to know an area you have to study the natives.<\/p>\n<p>In my case, I had a perfect study subject, my elderly father &#8211; now gracefully retired and approaching his sunset.

The compound is wide, and green with dewy grass. Icy cold droplets of dew catch the early rays of the sun, and reflect it in a glassy show of purity. The lone Ayrshire cow, off leash, grazes silently along the Kei Apple fence.<\/p>\n<p>He sits alone, pensive, in his aged lawn chair. On the first days of the lockdown, I\u2019d wake up early and join him. I\u2019d quickly learn it\u2019s not his favorite time for chit chat, and we\u2019d sit silently staring over the beautiful valley &#8211; bespoke with rising plumes of early morning fires from the conical huts on the countryside.<\/p>\n<p>The chilly mornings, we\u2019d think. While I\u2019d think of my colleagues, the antiseptic smell of stationery in the office and the incessant ruckus of hawkers and hooting cars, I\u2019d wonder what the old man was thinking about.<\/p>\n<p>I asked once.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the new pandemic was troubling him. While Papa had lived through some of the most iconic moments in the country\u2019s history, nothing had prepared him for this pandemic. Some were ecstatic, happy moments &#8211; like November 17<sup>th<\/sup>, 2006 when the Maasai Mara Game Reserve was declared one of the Seventh Wonders of the World.<\/p>\n<p>For a retired game warden, it was a good moment to be alive.<\/p>\n<p>On the political front, August 27<sup>th<\/sup> 2010 had dawned with his beloved country checking in a new constitution.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/99011257_3776747042398963_7954806626542682112_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-202\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/99011257_3776747042398963_7954806626542682112_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/99011257_3776747042398963_7954806626542682112_o.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/99011257_3776747042398963_7954806626542682112_o-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/99011257_3776747042398963_7954806626542682112_o-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/99011257_3776747042398963_7954806626542682112_o-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The old man was pensive, for most of his family lived in the city, and am the only one who had managed to leave the city before the lockdown. He didn\u2019t seem pacified when I mentioned his granddaughter and son in the city would be alright, as they\u2019d certainly follow government directives.<\/p>\n<p>My kids were college students in the city, and lived together in a rented flat. I\u2019d speak to them often, and had asked them not to worry the old man with details of the lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>One chilly morning, as the orange orb of light oozed its rays over the valley, Papa had demanded to know how I knew his grandkids were okay.<\/p>\n<p>I slowly explained that banking had come full circle, since then. It was slow, but it helped that he was a Co-op Bank member too, channeling tea and coffee payments through his account there.<\/p>\n<p>In that chilly morning, with the Ayrshire cow grazing only a few feet away, I had taught him about MCo-op Cash App &#8211; and how that seamlessly allowed me to pay bills for my kids directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat bills?\u201d He\u2019d demanded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of them. Rent, KPLC bills, DSTV bills, water bills\u2026.\u201d I\u2019d told him.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, he wanted to help. He still had tea bonuses in his Co-op Bank account.<\/p>\n<p>I showed him how MCo-op Cash App allowed me to check account balances, withdraw funds, get account statements and even apply loans. There is also the MCo-op Cash Paybill number 400200 that allows direct deposits to a Coop Bank account.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/101711471_3849764831763850_8030710857715417088_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/101711471_3849764831763850_8030710857715417088_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/101711471_3849764831763850_8030710857715417088_n.jpg 661w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/101711471_3849764831763850_8030710857715417088_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/sponsored\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/06\/101711471_3849764831763850_8030710857715417088_n-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Papa didn\u2019t have a \u2018<em>city phone\u2019<\/em> as he refers to smart phones.
