If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears.

@dnahinga A gate that costs 100M, but the Architecture department has no workshops or a computer room with computers which can open 2 softwares.

@zarahussain999 I also noticed, there were no white players in DR. Congo squad too.

@GwaWakag6 @ntvkenya @MichelleNgele_ @SylviaKathoni There exists other urban areas a part from Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru, btw.
The Industry & manufacturing whataboutism is also not related to housing, we should be demanding for both. Dev projects are not mutually exclusive events.

[Tim. @murithitim]

@GwaWakag6 @ntvkenya @MichelleNgele_ @SylviaKathoni Christmas is 2 weeks event, the rest of the year they live & work in Nairobi. You sound like you have never been in rural areas, only 25%-30% of rural housing would meet habitable standards.
Govts supplement housing deficits everywhere, at least the ones that value its citizens

[Tim. @murithitim]

@GwaWakag6 @ntvkenya @MichelleNgele_ @SylviaKathoni That’s 87% in rural areas. Lets not even start discussing the housing quality there. In urban areas house ownership is around 21%. Kenya needs 250k housing units per year, private sector provides 50k units per year that’s a shortfall of 200k homes.

[Tim. @murithitim]

@GwaWakag6 @ntvkenya @MichelleNgele_ @SylviaKathoni Nothing will happen, Kenya isn’t the first country to do affordable housing. Private sector will have to improve quality of those monstrosities they build for low income earners. Even in developed economies, both govt & private sector provide housing & the economy works just fine

@dnahinga 5. Corrupt regulators

I agree that expanding this World Cup to 48 teams was a mistake. Belgium, a nation that has never won the World Cup or Euros is playing against 7 time African Champions, Egypt.

[The Elephant @theelephantinfo]

Kenya’s deepening inequality isn’t just statistic but rather a system designed to serve the elite, as @markaotieno highlights. While a privileged few thrive on political connections, millions of ordinary Kenyans are left fighting daily for basic survival. But a powerful shift is underway. We are witnessing the emergence of a new native, an awakened, fearless generation that refuses to accept the outdated "who knows who" economy.

Brutalism in Netherlands

[Tim. @murithitim]

@s_ndegwa @rofprayer @lynn_ngugi1 I don’t support the behavior. I just think the anger is misdirected. KRA is to blame for the loophole. Same way I argue, people anger with matatu behavior should be directed more to authority like traffic police. Complaining about individuals is a zero sum effort.

[Tim. @murithitim]

@JaAlego254 @_Briankorir And why is there fight for space between hawkers and pedestrians on the walkways?

[Tim. @murithitim]

@s_ndegwa @rofprayer @lynn_ngugi1 Is it true really? or it’s KRA that’s just incompetent. They’re not the only ones evading taxes.

[Tim. @murithitim]

@_Briankorir Question should be WHY? In Arch, there’s sth called “genius loci” i.e spirit of the space. Trying to implement what works in Europe will always fail. Urban space is produced daily by the people who use it. Hawkers & bodas are not “out of place”. City planning should accommodate

[Tim. @murithitim]

@forevernazz @_Briankorir Then the problem lies with the urban governance. Hawkers & boda bodas are merely a consequence. They have a right to the city too. Regulators, urban designers & planners know they are part of our society, their needs should be accommodated too.

🧵In 2014, Nairobi got its most comprehensive urban master plan,the NIUPLAN. In 2019, Eastlands got NaMSIP. In 2024,a UoN Master's student named Solomon Njeru spent a year dissecting why NIUPLAN has barely been implemented.

[Keith Ang'ana @AnganaKeith]

In case any of you wants to check it out, I have attached it in this Dropbox link, along with the NIUPLAN (Nairobi Integrated Urban master PLAN), and a critique of its implementation, written by Solomon Munene as his Master's Thesis at UoN:
