The Saga of Wakulima Market, the previous home to 12000 rats (the 6000 that were killed and the 6000 that got away), raises some serious questions. First of all, who counted all the rats that were killed? Secondly, who counted all the rats that escaped? Thirdly, how the hell could the market that supplies Nairobi with most of its fruit and veg not be cleaned in 30 years? Fourthly, why the hell didn’t Nairobi City Council (NCC) just hook up Rentokil or any other pest control company with that contract? Am sure they would have done better than killing only 50%. Fifthly, just what is the point of NCC? Finally, and most disturbing, how come chips in Nairobi don’t taste good anymore since they cleaned up the market of all those rats?

Now now…i can imagine 6,000-12,000 rats adding flavour to the chips at kenchic but if you hadn’t heard about the clean up would you have known why the chips taste different or would you have concluded that maybe it’s just another joker taking something sweet from you..like they did with your beer….
It’s fantastic to have you backyou’ve been… missed!
Hope you brought enough sunshine to last you through the winter…:-)
