@Mbinya__ Used to to talk to this one person years ago. Like shirtless, sitting on counter top with a drink in hand, thinking we never gonna meet but we did after like 4 years. She is in the other part of the world.
450k is a stretch. 250 - 300k for furnished apartments makes more sense, especially for people staying in Nairobi temporarily. Reading the comments, some people are being delusional. Sorry to say it, but many who can’t afford it seem to think no other apartments should be built.

Sometimes we look up at fighter jets and think they are incredible. We admire the speed, the power, the engineering. But for millions of people, that same roar is the sound of terror. It means bombs, loss, and another day of trying to survive. The world sucks.
