There are people who fancy living in the city but there are others who always wish they never stepped in Nairobi. These people who are not having “peace of mind” are low-income earners and what I can call the self-proclaimed middle-income class (the heart desires but the income does not allow);
Inadequate water: This is a big challenge in the city, other people are forced to either buy this basic commodity or fetch it some distance away. If you get to such places you will hear women and mostly bachelor boys saying how in their rural homes they can easily get water unlike here where they have to walk long distances.
Lack of network on ground floors: Many residential areas have resorted to building very tall houses. People living on the ground floors of these houses suffer, they are always “mteja” and will be required to either get out of the plot or climb up to the rooftop to make a phone call. People on the ground floor are also required to keep on adjusting their aerials so as to enjoy some peaceful TV sessions.
Changing fare prices: It is public knowledge that bus fare in Nairobi is dynamic, people coming from far places such as Mlolongo and Rongai will have the extremely hard time when it comes to commuting to and from town. Since they do not have their own cars, they have no choice but to pay and then complain later how they would be walking had they been in their native homelands.
