The by laws in the city............are they made /created every other day,very soon it might be illegal to go to your place of work.
The other day,there was a lorry /canter deliverring some goods in a shop in town,then the makanga /turnboy was behind the canter directing the driver on how to reverse,kanju guys just came picked the makanga - who was in his company uniform and went away with him..reason....it is illegal to direct a driver on how to reverse his vehicle in Nairobi....aaaai,is this a crime?

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

@Specky - You will be surprised. Here is another one; It is illegal to trim you hedge/fence without a permit from the kanjo!

But some by laws are fake. The Askari Kanjo know that most Nairobians are ignorant of their stone age by laws and they can unleash a fake one on you. They bet on the fact that you will not want to 'julia mbele' if the offence is fake or real. You will be a nice Kenyan and 'chota kitu kidogo'.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Send the story to "The Watchman" in Daily Nation and ask for Kisia to clarify. he usually rersponds to such issues... Would be good to include details - date, time, street, vehicle no., council officers names [if known], council vehicle they were riding in etc
