Parish council member's unclear complaints

rs. In the morning I called the Kenyan Telecom and checked about our internet connections and finally it came back to life during the day. We also unpacked our car and started to distribute the kitchen ware we bought yesterday. Mr. Muhia called and informed us that he will deliver 50 more mattresses for the IDP's today. Then we had an unexpected visit by a parish council member and an assistant policeman. They said they first wanted to take the police car to arrest me and Njaga, our secretary, but he told the boss that he knew me and that we will find a solution without further consequences. It seems that that they claimed that we dismantled the church kitchen without permission, that they wanted back the hut, where we have our material and that the border wire would belong to them. And we had cut the trees without their permission. I asked Njaga to bring the ground plan and finally they had nothing to add anymore and left. I then rushed to my car before the big evening rain started. The temperatures dropped now to 19° C.
