Two examples will suffice. I know the head nurse somewhere who at the start of this year, with corona starting, secretly got a quick pass visa to the United Kingdom and is now working the wards of a major hospital in Britain for good money. She is 55. And abandoned her sickly 69 year old hubby in Kenya.
Then there’s this relative of mine, let’s call her Aunt Paulina*, who is 65, with five adult kids, two boys and three girls -- all in their 30s, all of them living in Kenya, but all of them working in different towns. Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, Nairobi and Mombasa.
