This Nairobi life

cooling on pesa point
Several banks recently signed on to be a part of the Pesa Point ATM network, and now they are passing on the charges to the customer after a brief free trial period. If I use a pesa point ATM it will cost me 30 shillings per transaction, which negates the attractiveness of the flat fee banking concept which I signed on for. Henceforth, I will only use pesa point ATM’s for emergency withdrawals.

development freeze
The Nairobi City Council has suspended proposals for property conversions/development activities (e.g. to apartments & offices) in Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Thompson, Lavington, Riverside and Westlands for a period of six months while it carries out a review of the development policies which have transformed (and some say destroyed) these Neighbourhoods.

no escape
Plans for a Christmas holiday at the Coast may be put on hold because all major hotels have been fully booked, leaving no space for domestic tourists.

no water
The city could face a serious water shortage after talks stalled between a water company and its workers.
