People never get the issue of value, it is better some of those mitumba things watu wanaringa nazo, range Rovers and proboxes are smelted and clothes stiched into tents and parking lots cleared to accommodate some of the key players in our value chain, we have a very stupid population, beating up and locking up your poorest investors, unataka waende wapi? Nairobi will improve now, there are enough jobless people/youth who can make innovative use of such opportunities, many! Ras Kienyeji Man

Many of these women are driven to the streets by the harshest circumstances, and bare hope, some even dream they will soon buy a canter, but reality keeps them in the market etc, same as sharks, huwa wanaelewana, only the sharks use knowledge not vegetables as their tools, just the way a cow eats grass and a lion meat, but it is all eating and a reality of life and living just as the market, and is only known experientially to such groups!

Mama mbogas should make no apologies for selling their commodities in the city. Fresh produce is just like any other tradeable commodity in the city...just like clothes, electronics, shares, bonds, etc etc. A mama mboga and a stock broker are all traders in the city and the city needs them all.

Mental poverty,a Mama mboga with a kibanda in the estate is making more money than 10 of these in the city, with peace of mind and no running battles with kanjo So Polycarp Igathe is basically just warming his seat at City Hall. This story of Politician-Technocrat combo or indeed just Technocrat (Kidero) is nonsense. Nairobi is now an intractable case,..we are fast heading to a situation where businesses will gradually pull out of the CBD and leave it to choke and rot under heavy informal chaos...like happened with Mumbai (Navi Mumbai), New Delhi (Gurgaon) with their satellite cities ...  when did Githurai extend to CBD? Starting to look like Lagos, crowded, chaotic and unsafe. Jo'berg CBD also had this type of urban decay and chaos. Businesses just left to the Sandton, Rosebank cities. Buildings were empty and abandoned, property values plummeted and empty buildings were occupied by immigrants. It's sad to see Nairobi walk down that path. Looks like the kumira kumira crowd that our politicians love must have their cake. So has New York "rotten" because of the mutura guys on the streets? Nairobi has to learn to accommodate small scale traders just like all other cities have done. The city isn't just for "white-collar" workers. It's for everyone. From those selling Range rovers to mutura.

The women rep politicians appeared with some umbrellas and if one or two women cat fighting for a useless political seat can do so much so fast and so passionately, imagine what an organised county garment with passion can do, long as management is used not politics. Ras Kienyeji Man

Its just about being organized, i once visited a city called boca chica in Dominican Republic and was amused that the road passing by the beach is converted to a very nice outside bars as from 5pm. Totally closed for cars and seats with umbrellas arranged nicely for revelers to enjoy kamunyueso and mituras Life is an endless adventure

yeah... Asia is also vibrant in the evenings... street food... cars blocked away... people selling their wares! What is nasty about Nai's organization is the putting stuff on the ground. They should have wheelbarrows at least.. .sio kuketi chini. Stalls... plus these are our people - tunawaficha ndio tuImpress nani? All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
