What a morning we've been spending in this neighbourhood! The smoke from the wood used in cooking (see picture), starts very early in the morning to catch the early morning 'traffic' that passes through this estate, while the noise from the truck park, contentious as it is, due to the fact that this plot is a road reserve and that it is allowed to continue to exist and operate in a residential area, sounds like a a factory going on without any control over the racket that it emits. Not to mention that the exhaust fumes enter our houses and lungs.
We also have a problem even holding a decent conversation as well as even hearing the phone ring. What is this? Can NOBODY in officialdom bring any order and sanity in this insane and lawless neighbourhood?
Unfortunately, for us, this is a Council estate where a number of Council employees also stay and all this is happening right under their don't care and corrupt noses, yet, they do nothing about all of these issues. Why? And why can't their 'bosses', i.e. the Ministry of Local Govt., the NEMA, etc., get their act together and deal with this gross violation of human rights?
Then, every evening as the first picture shows, the neighbourhood louts among whom is a 'resident' glue sniffer, sit at the well or the charcoal sellers' shed and either instigate or themselves, everytime they pass by, set off my car alarm and when asked who it was, will behave like they hear no evil, see none and would and don't want to do anything! In fact, one encounters a blank look. From the glue sniffer, who has been given accoutrements to stay under our staircase, who is most of the time under the influence one can expect anything. The others are his henchmen and protect him like their own. I wonder why? And how safe are we and our properties with such questionable characters being befriended to live among us?
Repeated reports to our questionable cops about this guy has brought no action. What, if anything, are they doing with all the reports that I've been making to them over the last one year?
When and for how long will we have to continue to live in such awful conditions? And why are the various people concerned not doing anything to deal with this situation? By allowing such atrocities in our midst, they are reducing this once exclusive neighbourhood into a concrete slum!
Add to all of the above the noise from the mosque and the MWA Hall every lunch hour and on Sundays too, for hours on end and this place is becoming worse by the day.

Smoke from the wood 'stoves'...
Most of the postings are to do with what an average Kenyan citizen has to deal with, in the country, to survive. They go through and are treated with a lot of injustice, where very few in 'officialdom', will take notice of their problems or even do anything about them. Hence, this blog and the belief in, 'One learned man is harder on the devil than a thousand ignorant worshipers' - Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
