Duale who took his time to explain his experience at the hotel, said the muted sounds were not all that was being heard but also the mosquitoes were having a field day.
“The chirping crickets and the starving mosquitos filled the void as I tried to tune out the noise from the amorous activities. It had been a long day. I woke up, slid my hand under the mosquito net and flicked the light switch on,” he said.
Defence Cabinet Secretary Adan Duale has vividly narrated how public officials smuggle ladies for companionship in hotel rooms during retreats.
In his memoir For The Record, Duale said ladies are referred to as laptops when officials go for retreats.
“From the rooms on either side of mine, I could hear the faint rhythmic sounds of headboards bumping on the wall, accompanied by the muffled grunts and muted moans of my colleagues and young women,” he said.
Duale said the women were smuggled by the bodyguards and drivers.
“The ladies are usually called ” laptops” because they seemed like an essential thing to some colleagues,” he said.
The way laptops are for business trips, these young women were always present in the political meetings, sneaked in like contraband into hotel rooms late at night.”
Duale who took his time to explain his experience at the hotel, said the muted sounds were not all that was being heard but also the mosquitoes were having a field day.
“The chirping crickets and the starving mosquitos filled the void as I tried to tune out the noise from the amorous activities. It had been a long day. I woke up, slid my hand under the mosquito net and flicked the light switch on,” he said.
“I picked up the remote control and turned on the television to browse the international news channels. I tried reading but could not go Past a few pages. Something was bothering me I picked up my phone and dialled a number – William Ruto’s,” he said.
