Blame it on the leadership after independence, they were more interested in filling up their 'stomachs' than anything else. Nairobi was actually very neat upto the late 1970s. Then everything went haywire.

Blame it on the leadership after independence, they were more interested in filling up their 'stomachs' than anything else. Nairobi was actually very neat upto the early 1980s. Then everything went haywire. Actually, it was Moi who messed everything up. "Moism" is to blame for all the mess we find ourselves in today. 24 years of zero maintenance, zero development, infinite stealing. The great economic puzzle is how we survived Moism.

Kanjo is also to blame for allowing setting up of unplanned structures, illegal extensions, vibandas/kiosks/slums everywhere, not collecting garbage, non maintenance of roads etc etc. It is shocking to note that 60% of buildings being put up are unapproved, thus the haphazard development.

Keep the debate in Kenya and stop dragging other countries into the mess.
