When I grew up in Shauri, The streets were also clean with street lighting(Green poles), steel dustbins were provided by NCC and collected twice per week.The transport used to work (No.7) and you could tell when the next bus would pass, free movie screening at KBL houses,free food on Saturdays at YMCA during weddings,umoja was like going to isinya..ooh,memories Sometimes I go to Kigali and see how clean it is and think to myself that they are where we were in late 80s early 90s, Once the population hits 1.5 Million in kigali,it will become unmanageable just like Nairobi If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Not really. Even in kiashland they build flats on 50x100 or smaller.

A change in behavior is key too if we want to "do it", In addis, there are always cleaners on the streets between 5:30 am to 9.00am cleaning/sweeping the streets with garbage trucks picking up the garbage; but by 11.00am,you would think that the last time the streets were swept/cleaned was in 1920 If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

As Kenyans we dont value space. We want to crowd in everything. From queues in bank halls to housing. Rollout once said here that we smell like goats...uchafu ndio sisi..

A bigger population shouldn't make a city deteriorate. Many cities in the world are old (>200yrs) and have populations over 10m and yet maintain high standards for the residents.  Below is Kiashland "Kitengela" 50x100 plot

How many places do you know where water, overgrown grass, dirt et al collects outside a guys place and s/he does nothing about it. Never mind that the mosquitos, flies, vermin thereof, will end up inside s/his house!
When you think about it, it why corruption thrives here. Kenyans are much too docile. Proactivity only appears in sin (fisi, theft etc) Exactly! Now guess where the pic below is? It is not a guys house, worse...  That's Wilson Airport about 2 weeks ago. Was appalled, took to photo hoping to do something with it (complain). Embarrassing when trying to impress your visitor who's new in Kenya. That whole place needs an overhaul. Almost everything is beat, the fence, buildings, landscape etc... They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds.
