      It's because Kenya has changed its constitution to have more voices on the decision table, and guarantees that our voices are heard. We have to have public participation before any policy change or implementation, if not that policy is illegal and unconstitutional. We listen to women, youth, marginalized rural communities, business leaders, religious leaders, professionals; everyone.
      Kenya also have a somewhat working justice system. So we solve our disputes amicably through the courts, and everyone gets justice. So less likely for people to engage in war.

    Hi Vera,
    Thank you for visiting our country kenya,
    Kenyans are your cousins, and they love visitors.
    In Kenya we use reusable bags in the whole country. Using plastic bags can send you to prison for some years.
    Another is about security in the airport, due to incidents of terrorism in the country, like the one we had in Westgate mall where many people died,security is tight in mos areas in Kenya,
    You had to leave the vehicle so that it can go through scanning machines to prevent bombs being sneaked inside the airport premises. All in all it is meant to protect you.
    We look forward to welcome you again.

    About the rent its always monthly but depends on your flexibility, someone can pay 3-12 months ahead, some can pay twice monthly as in ½/½ , it basically depends with you so long as at the end of the month you'd have done your payments.

    In Kenya, you can pay rent for the whole year, six months, or even 3 or 2 months if you want to.

New apartments keep coming up everywhere offering different tastes and experiences.

    Hey.. We Kenyans are hospitable people, its part n parcel of our culture. Planting trees is also instilled right away from primary school so its purposely done.
    Security checks; We've really suffered as a country bcoz of our hospitality by way of terrorists attacks/ bombs etc and so Kenyan governments have really invested in security across the country.. Its a pity you didn't stay for a longer period of time.. You'd have realised Kenyans Loooove their country.

    We are a great country and we will keep rising higher and higher.
    The extra security measures were necessitated by the heinous acts of terrorism that we had faced in the past.
    We use reusable non-plastic bags as the plastic bags are prohibited by our National Environment Management Authority (NEMA); it is actually a offense worth prosecution in court which could attract a hefty penalty/fine.
    I am shocked that you guys in Nigeria pay rent annually! Wow!

It will be better if you can talk in public spaces and engage the locals in conversation because you have a very good presenting skill.

  • @rowneyo1

    Kenya's geolocation is very unique in that most of our neighbours are not politically stable or are in war. We have also been victims of terrorist attacks and with that we take our security very seriously especially in places that may be targets e.g.Malls, Airports, Government buildings etc...hence the reason for the extra security measures. Plastic bags are actually prohibited.

    Airport security check: To get category 1 status to enable direct flights to the US from JKIA, certain security measures had to be taken given the airport is situated in a region known for terror attacks. Security is taken rather seriously everywhere. Almost all properties have guards and scanners everywhere.

    3 days ago the minister of education said schools will be ranked based on the number of trees in their compound. Rent in Kenya you cannot afford to pay a year in advance. An ordinary 2 bedroom house is $200 per month. Who can give $2400 in advance? Plastic bags were banned. You always carry a shopping bag or buy one that is biodegradable as you shop which can be an expensive habit

    Secondly Rwanda is the first country in East Africa to ban common use of plastics as they were an environmental eye sore. Kenya followed suit and that has greatly improved our environment. Thirdly, we host the United Nations Environment HQ here in Nairobi Kenya and its important that we take the lead in making the world 🌍 go green and this is why you see trees all over Nairobi Kenya

    The friendly police aspect in my opinion and as you rightly put it is the fact that Kenya being a touristic hotspot, people skills are very vital even by the police.
    Granted, police everywhere don't have a good reputation even in Kenya.
    The Kenya Police Service is subdivided into several units to handle different aspects of human interactions. Apart from the general patrol and traffic police units, there are; Tourism Police, Diplomatic Police, Airport Police,Railway Police, Port Police Units with specialized skills to cater to those segments of society and operations.
    As such, you are likely to encounter more friendlier police at the airport unit than may be those from the traffic unit for obvious reasons.
