Blame it on the leadership after independence, they were more interested in filling up their 'stomachs' than anything else.


Nairobi was actually very neat upto the early 1980s. Then everything went haywire.




Actually, it was Moi who messed everything up.

"Moism" is to blame for all the mess we find ourselves in today. 24 years of zero maintenance, zero development, infinite stealing.

The great economic puzzle is how we survived Moism.


Show the photo of same place today. there would be more legs and more cars parked but still clean

I pass by the place almost daily and even on a Sunday without human traffic, it looks worse today than what is on the photo. I will challenge myself to photograph and post
