KENYAN Expensive Slums Where Even the RICH Can't Afford Properties. This is Why!

[@Kelly-sv2tz]

I am impressed with the economic activities that seem to be going on in Marurui. Even the people walking all seem to have a purpose. Thanks for presenting to us this neighborhood that I had never heard of before.

[@Villagetotowntv]

Thanks for passing by

[@judymakumi2727]

😂😂 eti Even people walking seem to have purpose

I grew up in Lovington Green, and I used to go to a nearby slum called Waruku to hang out with local folks. Every expensive neighborhood in Kenya has a small slum nearby where workers come from. Also, it is a place where rich folks buy organic farm produce, mainly on weekends. My area MP, then (Fred Gumo), would wait until election day and come to Waruku and hand everyone a 50-shilling note, then disappear until the next election. His goons (Maasai Morans) were extremely violent if anyone tried to challenge him!

[@Villagetotowntv]

Hahha He must have been a very rough politician. I have heard of that place somewhere before

[@johnnjau7987]

Good analysis and I really like your choice of cool & gentle sound you have chosen for this podcast simply because for me (Watching and following you from UK 🇬🇧) 3 hours difference means I can enjoy the video while getting ready.

[@Villagetotowntv]

Wow, thank you!

Fun fact people don't know, githogori and marurui are geographically in kiambu(might be wrong on marurui side, coz I can't trace the river) but the river that divides Nairobi and kiambu, is just beyond the original githogoro but due to expansion small part of githogoro is in Nairobi geographically; due to encroachment the river is almost non existent its a stream, githogoro is in kiambu geographically and in Nairobi politically

[@ElijahMucheru-v9p]

I'm a big fun of village to town. I think Nairobi is usually overhyped. I lived in Ruiru kihunguro sometimes ago.. I would appreciate to see how the place has transformed.

[@Villagetotowntv]

Thank you for the continued suppport. We will cover it. In the meantime check our video on Ruiru town, we covered part of Kihunguro kzbin.info/www/bejne/l52bYWuCqbGMprs

[@ElijahMucheru-v9p]

@@Villagetotowntv I watched that one, I want where you started on the Ruiru video near shell Petro station, now the interior part. Between Railway line and Thika road, from bypass round about upto zetech (or where Thika road branches to Ruiru town.) if you do that I might be touched and do a very good professional logo for village to town.

[@joshuanjoroge5790]

Great stuff. Thanks for this. Please show is the next neighborhood called Njathaini and contrast the road condition there with Marurui

[@Villagetotowntv]

Thanks for the headsup, We will check on that

[@AllanNdungu-i2r]

[@Villagetotowntv]

Usipotee mtaa sana

[@danielkiruri4882]

I remember githogoro ,gachagi from the other side of village market when it was surrounded by coffee plantations in the 1970s

[@Villagetotowntv]

Wow, those coffee plantations would be a sight to see now.

[@lydiamburia4113]

MR. LONE TRAVELLER MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025 IN ADVANCE. NOW CONSIDER MORE OF INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARIES TO FASTTRACK PROLIFERATION OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS AS A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.

[@Villagetotowntv]

Merry X-mass to you too my friend...About the year's resolution, from your mouth to God's ears.

[@purityfrancis813]

Can you please visit Kiganjo Thika

[@Villagetotowntv]

Its in my bucket list, new year

[@purityfrancis813]

Great.

[@lydiamburia4113]

ALL SLUMS COUNTRYWIDE SHOULD BE UPGRADED TO HABITABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS, OVER TO THE KENYA KWANZA REGIME. MR.LONE TRAVELLER YOU COULD WRITE A PROPOSAL TO THE PS HOUSING, CS LANDS COPY TO THE PRESDIENT THAT MAY A TURNING POINT FOR KENYA, ALL THE BEST.

[@Villagetotowntv]

I am just a lonely traveler, Lydia

[@Amwa8575]

Lydia do you know even know the history of slums and who lives there let me educate you. This are settlements that were given to people who used to work in estates in houses for the rich, so they were given this lands to be close to their places of work so acha maneno ya affordable housing apa

[@Amwa8575]

And have the people living there complained??? To any institution ndio useme zi upgradiwe?

[@charleskinuthia9210]

Don't give that land grabber who goes by various names such as Zakayo and Kassongo ideas.

[@gracemukulu7997]

You are wrong. This was a coffee estate. Githogoro sits on a parcel of land where coffee pickers used to stay.

[@MendyTheQueen]

Sorry you didn’t show the real marurui. I live in between marurui and London.This is where high ranking people live eg lawyers and businessmen and women. Your image only featured most of Jua Kali slum. I’m not impressed by your coverage since I’m in marurui for Xmas. I love it here.

[@Villagetotowntv]

Oops my bad for missing out. Definitely I will visit again. Merry X-mass

[@mungaigithothero5932]

kweli huku sio kwa mchezo

[@Villagetotowntv]

lol

[@johnmungai332]

You covered less than half of marurui 😅

[@Villagetotowntv]

Kwani how big is that place buana

[@user-kpkxgtj]

True, arudi atembee vizuri 😅

[@Villagetotowntv]

@@user-kpkxgtj Itabidi tu jamaa amerudi lol

[@johnmungai332]

I like this place too much but I stay in Zimmerman ❤

[@Villagetotowntv]

Its a nice place

[@charleskinuthia9210]

This may tempt Kassongo to make a land grab. He has already tried in Ruiru.

[@Villagetotowntv]

lol
