Beat it Mugundaman. Kitengela is and will always be a dusty suburb for middle class Nairobians. Those joints are opening up everywhere and they are targeting middle class customers. KFC has a new restaurant in Kamakis. Pizza Inn/Chicken Inn have outlets at Kamakis/Bypass areas. Even Artcaffe is at Kamakis/Bypass, a typical middle class area. Those private equity groups have realized that they can make more money by targeting the middle class instead of the elite because the middle class have the numbers. Before you celebrate, you need to understand how these private equity firms work. If you did, you wouldn't be here using Artcaffe as an indicator of elite status.

I am sorry to burst your bubble and illusions of grandeur. Kitengela is a dusty middle class suburb and will remain so. Every middle class neighborhood has a mall and those restaurants these days. You can't use them to make your case.

I can get a good townhouse in Kitengela for just 10 million. That is the only information you need to determine that Kitengela is a middle class neighborhood, not the next Runda.

You really need to start travelling outside DC so that you can know that it isn't really that special.

The title of your article is "flourishing middle class"...not "flourishing elite"

Runda is upper class by Kenyan standards.

Kitengela is middle class by Kenyan standards.

Kitengela is not the next Runda. Stop dreaming

Emo village Kitengela

Muthaiga and Runda are BOTH upper class areas you dummy. Land is more expensive in Muthaiga but the two are in the same social class. That's like discrediting someone with $1 billion because Musk has $200 billion. It's stupid because both are billionaires and live almost similar lifestyles. They are in the same social class despite the difference in wealth.

Just so you know, you are a very annoying and headstrong character. Kitengela is a middle class neighborhood and is not the next Runda. Kubali yaishe and stop wasting my time. Never compare that dusty suburb to Runda.

Runda = Upper Class

Kitengela = Middle Class

Comprende?? You can't compare the two.

It is clear that you don't even understand those definitions that you have uploaded as screenshots.
