Switching houses is a normal thing until one manages to establish their own home and maybe get a piece of land and develop it.

Interestingly, many Nakuru residents do this at night.

This raises questions on why it has to happen under the cover of the darkness.

Some of those who seem to have a great passion of shifting at night have termed it a good technique to move out without showing the world what you own.

Since most move using handcarts, alias 'mkoko' in Nax Vegas, there is a need to do it at night and ensure that they retain privacy. This prevents gossips about what they own.

To those with a lot of stuff, it keeps thieves who might spot electronics to steal through break-ins.

Also, to avoid questions on why they are moving out of the 'plot' is another reason why they would rather go when no one is watching.

They are better off entering the new home without attracting the suspicion of their new neighbours, most of whom can analyze a person and conclude on how to treat them depending on what they own.

The final reason is to use part of the night to arrange the new house, with the help of friends of course, and start the next day afresh.
