As you walk across Shabab estate in Nakuru West sub-county, one thing is certain to catch your attention.
Garages! That Shabe,as it is popurlarly known, is a garage zone is no debate.
Apart from bearing an uncanny nemesis like the ragtag Somalia militia al Shabaab, this estate boasts of several skilled 'engineers' who are gifted in the power of fixing vehicles and motorbikes.
A common phrase in Nax Vegas goes that in Shabab, the number of roadside garages outnumbers even motorists themselves, and Albert Ouma can attest to this.
"Yes, it is true that in Shabab, garages rein supreme. But that is because the 'Omera' brothers are the majority here. It is therefore no surprise that cyclists too have also moved to this centre in droves."
Dennis Bii adds that his first visit to this western suburb was greeted by awe, as he did not expect to see so many garages and cyclists .
