Njoroge is travelling by night train with two strangers sitting close to him. He is trying to sleep, but the guys are speaking very loudly criticizing the president, KDF in Somalia, corruption, unemployment, etc. So Njoroge, in an attempt to force the guys to stop talking and let him sleep, tells them as a joke, that there is a new total control system developed by the NSIS that spies upon all citizens, and there are lots of listening devices everywhere, so that anyone criticizing the government would be severely punished. This didn’t have any effect on those guys. They just laughed at Njoroge, and carried on and on, saying even more rude jokes about Uhuru and the government. Finally, close to 3:00am, Njoroge goes to the restroom, and runs into the train conductor. He tips the conductor and asks him to bring him some water and sleeping pills at exactly 3:10 a.m. He goes back to his place and says loudly into the base of his seat, so that talkative guys could hear him: If the NSIS director can hear me: could you please bring me a glass of water and some sleeping pills at 3:10a.m., because there are some idiots here who are speaking too loudly about some political issues and won’t let me sleep. The guys continue talking. Exactly at 3:10am, the door opens and the conductor comes out, and gives Njoroge the water and some sleeping pills. The guys are shocked and finally stop talking. Njoroge is happy and manages to fall asleep. When he wakes in the morning, the talkative guys are nowhere to be found. Out of curiosity he asks the conductor about them, (also remembering that there shouldn’t have been any stops at night). The conductor replies that some people in black suits stopped the train and arrested those guys. Njoroge is completely shocked and surprised and asks about why he was not arrested. The conductor answers that he doesn’t have a clue but one of the guys in black suits said that the director of the NSIS liked Njoroge’s joke about the water and pills.
