    Nairobi started on it's "journey south" right at Independence!!!.... recall at the handover the departing " muzungus" informed the incoming gentlemen that they were handing over to them a City whose balance sheet was better than that of the entire Nation of Nyasaland now Malawi....the mess that we call Nairobi which we have created by our very own hands - acts of comission and omission -(the high rise buildings and cantilever roads are nothing to boast about) is there for all to see!!!

    one thing which i never understood is why Nairobi, the so called New York of africa lacks proper fire stations in such a big city like this only has 2 fire station of which only one functions, so lets say a fire breaks out in one of these tall buildings, how will they counter it? fire stations should be in every constituencies not one in the middle of Nairobi..this is an example that nairobi is a hotbed of corruption

    A 6.5 richter scale earthquake is not far fetched given the proximity of Nairobi to the great rift valley with fault lines appearing once in a while and some active volcanoes. If such an earthquake happens, God forbid, Nairobians will wake up to the reality of their corrupt actions.
    Nairobi was built on a former swampland that has been constantly drained since the 1900s. Such land during an earthquake quickly liquefies and everything built on it just sinks or collapses. Buildings built back to back basically smash into each other as they sway during the quake.
    With only 2 or 3 major inefficient fire stations for a city of close to 6 million, there is no way we will stop the infernos that will surely follow a massive quake. Our hospitals will not be able to cope, there are no emergency rescue services that are ready to handle the huge numbers of casualties. Nairobi is a ticking time bomb.

    • @kim1570

      There's a saying that goes, if you don't plan with mother nature in mind, mother nature will make plans for you.
      Any Nairobian who lives in/or near these high rises, and who understands the geology of Nairobi and the Rift Valley should be making plans to relocate, or at least have a single story home outside of Nairobi and any of the major towns so that at the first sight of building cracks or movements in the ground, they can get out of the danger zones in good time.

    Nairobi is going down,nothing new from Sakaja.Much was expected from Sakaja but the fellow seems to appear only when a disaster has happened.
    We thought by now a new administration would be putting up fire stations in various places in Nairobi to help fight fire that is common,new markets,new bus parks but the man got lost. Nairobi was better off with the army general politicians are not helpful to Nairobi.

    • @kim1570

      Nairobi is the money laundering centre of the region (illicit money from the counties and from the surrounding EAC countries) where corrupt Kenyan politicians, and warlords, politicians and tax-evading 'business men' from the neighbouring countries 'park' their ill-gotten wealth.
      I work in the construction industry and for the last almost 10 years, I've been calling out the 'boom' in the *high end* real estate sector as a facade for cleaning illicit money. I've been making the very same point you have made - that on the ground, things are not adding up because when you drive around Westlands, Parklands and sections of Kilimani and Kileleshwa at night, only a quartre of those high rises are lit, meaning that vacancies are very low.. and still, every month there's a new high rise coming up.
      Ask yourself.. who are these 'investors' who can afford to put up multi-million/billion shilling properties in these prime areas but at the same time have them largely vacant for years on end? Any legitimate investor needs to have their properties occupied at least 80% in order to recoup their ROI, bank loans, etc.
      The other side of that coin are our NCA officials who are taking huge bribes under the table to allow this foolishness.

      @georgeodhiambo598 3 місяці тому

      ​​@@aheuditParliament has not been reduced by anyone. The correct position is that Parliamentarians have chosen to reduce themselves to a lounge of cheerleaders at the service of the Executive. Through the Constitution, Kenyans have given the latitude to operate as legislators. But they have CHOSEN to give in to threats from the Executive. The role of Parliament is defined by the Constitution, in the same way that the Executive's role is defined.
