    The drone shots are as amazing as ever. They make even a very usually dusty Murang’a town look great from a bird’s eye. The location of Murang’a town is great with three or four big rivers just passing by. Not very far from there is the Mũkũrwe wa Nyagathanga the home of Gȋkũyũ and Mũmbi. Great man, thanks and continue showing us more and more of those rural areas which everyone has heard of but don’t know where they are. A visit to Othaya and Kiriaini would provide wonderful drones and they are not very far from Murang’a. Thanks for sharing. Keep going.

      @Jack Muraguri which Murang'a are you talking about?? Comparatively with other towns, Murang'a isn't dusty in anyway bring on a sloppy terrain and so all dirt is usually washed downhill. Again very little earth space is left without tarmac or pavement.

    Thanks Afrikan Traveller for another fine content.Most towns in Central provinces are not as clean like Kisumu or Kakamega as the seem dusty without paved roads and pedestrians walkways. I know times are tough in Kenya but regardless of how poor the situation keeping clean and hygienic is always a must.

    We need to come up with a plan to limit urbanization on agricultural land. That is the most precious resource we have. We are going to end up being food importers if we are not careful. Cities are better suited on barren land.

      Very true, kwanza Kiambu, they're uprooting coffee plants and selling their land for real estate, it's very heartbreaking seeing all that greenery being replaced by concrete buildings. They think it's advancement least do they know that globally the rich billionaires and wall street smarts are investing on farm lands for agribusiness.

The only thing I hope the county government would pass by laws on those rusty iron sheets on buildings, most land lords in Nairobi are from Murang'a and are known to be very mean when it comes to aesthetics, they want to build on every available space and won't provide basic amenities for their tenants. Maybe something my Murang'a people can work on.

      This money you guys worship was created by the wazungus and they have so much of it but they wouldn't destroy or neglect their environment for money.
