Thumbs up for East African giants Kenya.
I have always thought Botswana, Ghana and Rwanda are safer than nairobi.

@Young

We live in Nairobi and have experienced something very different from what we are reading in the media.

NB: All the times I have been attacked in Nairobi, I never report the matter to the police. The police are worse than the thugs on the streets of Nairobi.

The only time I reported was after being Bus-jacked at midday. We were left in Kangemi but told to report at Muthangari. We did exactly that. They stole 100 shillings from me but I reported they had taken 29 thousand which I had withdrawn to pay my employees. Another guy said 14k etc.

Six weeks later, the same group hijacked a Shuttle but were mowed down by Muthangari police officers.

These guys work in cahoots with police and even hire guns from them. The police record amounts stolen by thugs in order to know what cut to expect. That's why its good to report exponential amts to ensure a shortfall in tallying.

On being 'short charged', the police usually hit back in revenge on the next mission.

Would you bother report to such officers? So, how do you account for unreported cases? Does that mean when cases are not reported, then no crime was committed?

If you've been to Nairobi and later to Kigali, Kampala or Dar of late, you would not dare say Nairobi is safer.

@ Surealligator, While we should call a spade a spade we can easily tell who our worst enemies are.

i have been carjacked twice this year.. ati safe when another pal of mine carjacked was left next to state house..

when the thugs carjack you and disappear with your car.. i am told do not bother looking for it elsewhere.. look for it at the police lines... you might need to pay off a cop to get behind the lines for you..

Might be true! Yes crime is there but as compared to the days when you could not even pick a call on a your cellphone at the CBD or stay past 9pm in town! It is relatively safer! Anyone who's been to the real SA not the suburbs will explain why Nbi's safe, in Mexico police have to wear hoods simply to hide their identities, Brazil's army has had to clean Rio coz of the coming olympics, in US guys have built tunnels to transport drugs, stabbing in London is an everyday affair, Lagos is but another story....

Crooks raided a house within my compound 3 months ago... Followed one of the residents into the compound. The report is nonsense! Most crimes are not reported!

Fellow Kenyans!! I am always amazed by us, kenyans!!! No wonder Michael Joseph said we have queer calling habits..

1. What makes you guys think that in SA, Rwanda, Uganda, Botswana etc that ALL crimes are reported and therefore their figs are 100% accurate? Maybe they also dont report all the crimes just like us in Nairobi.
2. What do we want? When US declares that the country is unsafe and issues a travel advisory, we are up in ARMS!! that the country is safe. Now we are told we are the safest..NO!! we scream, we are not a safe country!!
