when we grew up Lumush and Jeri in those days, the City Council was Alive we grew up with all the social amenities, streets were swept clean, landscaping was maintained grass cut, and bougainvillea flowers were planted all over the estates, roadkill was cleaned out and the area disinfected, dispensaries had ambulances on standby, Garbage was collected on time and every house had a city-issued garbage bin and the city used Mercedes Benz Garbage compactor trucks we used to call then "KUKA" so for us who left the country in the '80s moving abroad was like moving to an upper-class neighborhood. But in the late '80s and '90s, everything went to the dogs! I pity today's generation because they missed out.

Jericho Lumumba is the only place l have seen with American style walkways built of concrete in the entire Nairobi leading to camp Toyoyo and it has maintained it's structural aesthetics! Neighboring Ofafa Maringo is a slum it has degenerated into the abyss. Sorry state.

I used to follow and listen to Area code by Timothy Otieno, very informative

Despite the negative Jericho is perceived, it's also a nice place, playing fields for any young person wishing to nurture their talent in football, the area hosts ofafa Jericho high school famous for its football prowess within inter schools ball game competition, with the settlement structures along the housing unit is to provide opportunities for affordable rents in the city,

All those mabati structures are illegal additions/extensions. That is how they destroy the aesthetics of a place and make it ghetto.

Can't? Who says Africans can't plan proper cities or neighbourhoods? You should visit Rwanda and Botswana. They have good cities and neighbourhoods planned by Black Africans and they are very good. You need to have a little more confidence. We need to be more methodical about development and we need to attack corruption. Corruption is the enemy of progress.

Do you also feel that he could have done more or has he done enough? Your comments will be highly appreciated. Anyone else is also open to comment.

Infrastructure-wise, the roads are more widespread and networked compared to a few years ago

The story of Jericho Estate is vast and cannot be adequately narrated by a single individual. For instance, there is Jericho Lumumba and Jericho Ofafa. Then there were teenage gangs in the 1970's such as the Yakuzas, Comaches, Companieros and Dambusters who marked out their turf by painting their names elaborate logos on the walls marking their spheres of influence. The gangs also dabbled in low-level fights against each other with the ocassional kinife wound here and there. It was this culture that was nurtured by books such as "James Hadley Chase" to result in thugs such as Walimba (ostensibly a Ugandan and Wakinyonga) at the higher echelons while Gwanga Wa Yesu operated within Jericho Ofafa back when Shimoli was still pre-teen. Interestingly, Jericho Lumumba had a notorous gang based near Martin Luther primary school with their base known as Masasu Park. The Masasu Park crew of misfits attracted the first of a new breed of armed robbers such as Wachira-Wa-Moto from Maringo Estate, extortionist Jack-Don-Silver and the fabled Ramah, from Eastleigh and who wasparticularly notorious for snatching gold chains from tourists in the CBD where he was ultimately gunned down by the squad that had been inspired by the infamous police reservist Patrick Shaw. Shimoli arrives on the scene much later with his entrance coinciding with the proliferation of handguns moslly from a chaotic Somalia where there was no government.
