Have given in and opted for 1 bed room on 1st and 2nd floors, and may do different plan on upper floors later.. you can always trust the government to frustate a young man who has valid dreams I remember you complaining that NHC wants to put up 1brm flats in your estate since this would devalue Nyayo estate and bring in undesirable characters....and would also "spoil your image since people may think you live in the 1brm and not the 3bdrm". The Kanjora was right too in this case in protecting his neighbourhood (his voters) from degradation...  I love this group. When you live for others' opinions, you are dead.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

Thanks for clearing out the matter on my behalf. @jagger Nyayo Estate is a middle class neighborhood and one bedrooms go against the investment calibre of that locality. However, bedsitters in Rongai are a perfect fit!!! Usijichanganye kaka COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU

I have noticed this is a common problem for Wazuans. I'll explain briefly how to post a photo here -- the easiest way i know. Hopefully, some of us will learn a thing or 2. 1. Open an account with imgur.com -- a photo sharing web app. http://imgur.com/
2. Login and upload your picture 3. After the upload, you should have these alternatives as shown on this picture. Copy the encircled link and paste it here  4. Good to go & repeat I hope this helped someone! Cheers! BITCOIN TRADERS KENYA Whatsapp group +254 705 299 429
