Yesterday I met the Nairobi City Town Clerk Philip Kisia. I have known Kisia from his days at the Nairobi Central business District Association (NCBDA) . Then he defended Adopt A Light.

When we sat to talk I admired his professionalism as he got an internal lawyer to give him an opinion on the matter at hand between my company and the council.Then he called in the other employees and for the first time it was my pleasure to hear an employee of the council being bold enough to stand up and say, “we are wrong, we have treated this lady and her company unfairly while breaking the law”.
Wow, This definitely made my day and a Hope for Justice!

Men pissing on the fences

Men pinching & rubbing their privates in public

Women who squat in toilets and leave messy seats and piss all over the floor

Public toilets with no handbag holders

The best public and resident toilet in Nairobi is situated at the Fairview Hotel. Kudos for that

Adults jumping queues in traffic, do they think the rest of us are parked?

Lack of courtesy on the road we don’t need the police or traffic lights. We need courtesy!

What are the things that drive you nuts?
