I don't see what Jubilee gov't has to do with this. The people giving food to the animals are not from Jubilee. They are just stupid people. The people supposed to be caring for that property are not Jubilee, they are simply unpatriotic humans( i did not say Kenyans). I always find it so funny how Kenyans looking for jobs worldwide are actually hired because of their hard working and ethical nature. Those in Kenya on the other hand are a strange strange breed. Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

How come the medics have been paid in some counties and others not? Is it true monies meant for salaries were diverted to other use? Is it a ploy to consolidate their referendum nonsense and gain sympathy from an ignorant public? How I wish we just gave all these monies to CDF (at least 20%........I used to see CDF working and bearing fruits. In Gatanga, despite having a useless mpig, we still feel the CDF more than the Muranga County funds. Just imagine if the 4b Muranga county got went to the Muranga constituencies CDF kitty....less recurrent expenditure, more grassroot reach etc. This county shit is a pure joke. If you want to know more, take a ride to Thika town. I feel the same way Kiash feels when refering to Kenya. #FeelingFrustrated TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

To most it's a normal behaviour,the norm,you get employed and that's the culture you find at your workplace you get sucked in and the rest is history same old,same old...it's really frustrating. I have noticed that we now have footbridge marshals coz we needs to be sherphaded every single time,think we should also have garbage marshals since we ant stop throwing taka taka left right and centre. possunt quia posse videntur

You are right in as far as Kenyans are concerned, but I blame Jubilee for the mess over there. That place is badly neglected. It doesnt take rocket science to collect gabbage, in fact, just 2 casual employees can do that on a daily basis. The tourism docket is being poorly run. The same way I always wonder why our beaches are so so dirty.....how much would it cost to employ casuals to collect and dispose all the dirt on a regular basis? TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

It was a huge number since we had to queue for a couple of minutes to pay. I did not see a white face in sight. As soon as we went in I noticed people of somali extraction also being quite present. @masukuma did you even read this article? And if you read, did you really understand? Right there the writer is betraying his own rotten kind of attitude. With this kind of tribalism ati “Somali”… Why Somali in particular? Why didn’t he says Luhyia, or Kale, or Kamba, or Kikuyu, or Masai? How does he go ahead and write about KWS? @alph, no. 1. i forgot to mention that the dude who was feeding the Monkey was of somali origin! taking photos akipatia tumbili chakula! To be fair the other guys taking photos while feeding the girrafe were not somalis! so cancel out hiyo statement but pia Sikukuwa nimewahi ona wasomali wengi hivyo kwa game park/orphanage before. @simonKabz... hiyo place imekuwa MBAYA!!! @masukuma okay sawa. I just don't like tribalism. I'm not a Somali, I'm one of the other 41 Kenyan tribes. But I think belonging to a tribe is good, it gives identity, it is for knowing each, and it is for variety, but being tribal is one of the decay I dislike. Why blow a fuse when Somalis are mentioned but never point a finger when okuyu-bashing is going on? You are more of a hypocrite than anything else. @simonkabz I defend all tribes. But I have defended all tribes at one point in time, for example Kikuyu here. But when I see they defend their tribes illogically, I condemn the cronies too. Even if I have to attack my own tribe. Because I'm not Somali myself. But you find that the majority tribes like Luhyia, or Kikuyu, or Kalenjin, or Kamba, etc are already have their defenders from their own, the cronies here, even before I say anything. So I mostly realize I have nothing else to add. But I defend the weak and the oppressed more because no one seem to come in and defend. I defend those attacked by some people, those ignorant people who come out thinking others shouldn't be Kenyans. They're ignorant of the fact that we all arrived in Kenya from different regions. But that does not mean I cannot critisize Somalis when they are wrong. I have critisized individual Somalis when they are wrong here

This is a systems problem. For example, people feed the animals because it's part of human psychology to do such things, and the zoo design is conducive for such behavior.
Or the litter is all around because oftenly litter is more than the number of bins in a place and the collection of garbage isn't the main activity in the zoo. For example, @masukuma couldn't stop looking at the Somalis feeding the monkeys to pick litter.
Such problems exist in other places. Even in America. The solutions are created according to optimal models. Not ego bashing, and blaming Jubilee or whoever, or whatever. Though of course optimal solutions involve cultural shifts.

Though of course optimal solutions involve cultural shifts. Masukuma talks about a "Perceived decay of things around us". "Perceived" is consistent with his experience as a scientist but why did he go to see Somalis and litter in a park? Are both not already abundant in Eastleigh? "Misuse" of senses, science, indeed misuse of systems is a problem. Use of right tools for the right job is essential in providing solutions, for example use of bins for litter or right personal attitudes for right situations.

The day I heard the KWS director brag that poaching had declined yet we had still lost hundreds of elephants and rhinos, I knew sisi kwisha!!
I reckon that poaching has decline since we have fewer elephants and rhinos! not because its more difficult to hunt them down based on external actions by KWS. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

A bit of nostalgia...JKIA resort club , on Mombasa road, now in the Machakos county, bordering Nairobi. Way back, the resort place was a great hang-out place for a weekend afternoon/evening, family or friends. About 5 years ago, the place got run down, beyond redemption. Some seriously 'chummed' jammas bought out the place and pulled down everything , the culture and rich heritage of the place . And now an ultra-modem shopping mall has sprung up-The Gateway mall, changing the landscape and , giving a very beautiful front-door to machakos country from Nairobi......
