Not surprised.
You want to live in Kilimani but you can only afford to build a house in Kitengela.
So you remain a tenant.

2 Things. Maybe they help understand the situation. Maybe not.

1. Lawyers make bad tenants, generally. They refuse to pay. Even big shots default in rent. I know this because I worked in real estate & we had this unwritten rule that we needed to avoid them. Apart from poor payments, they'd be looking at ways of making their leases controlled so that you can't increase rent or kick them out.

At one point, one very famous lawyer who later became a top govt official had arrears. We tried to follow up to no avail. My boss made a decision to block this top lawyer from entering the building's parking. So the dude comes & security inform him he wasn't allowed to park in the building. Problem is, this is in the CBD, he's in the street! Aibu! Yet he is this very proud top lawyer cum lecturer!

He's livid. But what to do? Long story short they make a payment. Wakili hataki aibu!

2. Ndubi is said to do a lot of pro-bono work. This I learnt while doing some consultancy for an NGO.

Lawyer Harun Ndubi arrested AGAIN on drink-driving claim

https://www.nation.co.ke...nk-driving-claim-134826

Nairobi area traffic police officers apprehended the senior lawyer and took him to Kilimani Police Station, a source at the Traffic Police Headquarters told the Nation.

"He parked the vehicle in the middle of the road…he slept in the vehicle…[he was] very drunk,” Mr Koome said.




This is a classic example of "alcohol can never take you anywhere". But then again who takes alcohol as a mode of transport?

Didn't know there were so many jealous petty little bitches on wazua.

Every man goes through a hard time why does it affect you thus? Ama he was drinking your money?

Hii post and the replies are a shame to the men on wazua.

Why don't you write your real names here so that we can compare your life to Ndubi's?

aibu jameni.


Hear hear! why should a grown man be bothered by another man's debts, where he lives, whether he rents or has built, how he spends his free time?
Life is short. Live passionately.

True. A property manager huko kilimani once told me that many tenants are trapped in a vicious circle of renting. They cant afford to buy the 15m apartment they are living in, but can afford the 70k rent so they end up paying rent forever. Interestingly, they can afford to build elsewhere but once you move your family to kilimani and enroll kids at makini, you cant take them back to donholm or DC.


Lets see the cost of renting for just 10yrs.


70,000 pm x 12 = 840,000 per yr
10yrs = 8,400,000


8.4m is enough to buy a 1.5m plot in DC and the balance of about 7m enough to put up a 280m2 mansion (like one below) at cost of about 25,000 per m2, and you live happily ever after - rent free, mortgage free and service charge free. NB a similar 280m2 mansion in kilimani will cost you 100m.




Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

renting does not mean he does not have his home somewhere else. maybe the house is in kitengela but given his type of work being in kilimani makes it easy to do his job. i know of at least two doctors with homes in karen (not rental) but who rent apartments in near the nairobi hospital to ease their work - at times they are on call 24/7.

not as simple as that. same as saying he could have moved to a bedsitter if he didn't have another house. covid-19 seemingly happened and before he knew it he was in arrears and couldn't move his stuff out coz of that. probably thought he could salvage it and it didn't happen.
