Legally flying a drone in Nairobi is an extreme sport. Here's what I had to do last time:
1. Have an insured and registered drone being used by a licensed pilot.
2. Letter from KFCB if filming for a show / series / documentary plus requisite fees.
3. Letter of no objection from property owners if flying above private property.
4. Letter from Vigilance House.
5. Pay requisite fees to KCAA.
6. Inform nearest police station when you're ready to fly.
7. Have a Kenya Airforce officer accompany you as you fly.
Extreme, right?
But we've learnt with patience and planning, you can fly legally.
Fewer restrictions will be very welcome though.
Most of the airspace above Nairobi is controlled by the military by the way. That's why you don't see KQ or other commercial airlines flying above CBD.
There was a time when the Pajero heavily dominated the 4×4 market.
Actually, I think Pajero is the car that dethroned Musso as a status car, or maybe vice versa.
But this car was the real deal.
So where did the Pajero go wrong and lose ground?
Or do we blame it on the Prado and the Toyota cult?
Fun fact: Pajeros are more comfortable than Prados.
Also, it's one of the few cars that allows you to use 4WD mode on tarmac at speeds of up to 100 km/hr.
Would you consider one over the Prado TX?
Thank you Citizen TV for doing the Lord’s work. The two incompetent experts have been cornered by Kasongo. Hapo hawawezi jitoa. Their days are numbered. #RejectFuelPrices
Because Matatu operators are the ones who have called off the strike, Kenyans MUST REFUSE to pay hiked fares. Since they are the ones in dialogue with the government, they should not pass on the cost of their dialogue to innocent, underpaid and overtaxed Kenyans!
I’ve signed a petition calling for accountability over the humiliation of a Grade 10 student in the Kenyan Senate. No child should ever be degraded in public institutions. Join me in demanding action and stronger protections for children’s dignity: https://t.co/K7a8q1BgOf
