@MrMujama Kagame said no to somalis? lol are you serious? Somalis have big businesses in Rwanda but Rwanda is not a great business investment because somalis are not producers, they are businessmen ie middlemen who bring products from markets or their points of production and Rwanda, landlocked and in the middle of Africa is the end of the line. Kenya is the natural investment centre, and Somalia a lot better because of its proximity to Dubai, China, India etc. Somalia is at war now.

Marcel Proust said: "The only paradise is paradise lost". The first founders were from Hampshire England from the town of Eastleigh where in England they had the Aerodrome that featured in Battle of Britain defense. Then came the Asians and the Asian High School (now the Eastleigh Secondary now High School) and its famous 21st Nairobi Scout Troop and superb hockey and cricket teams. Now it is the Somali groups, and after they go maybe it will be Sudanese, Mozambique WHO LOSE PARADISE AGAIN ETC

are the Somalis not better than the Indians who use to run business in Kenya... They are your neighbors, they come from the same continents and most of them are actually Kenyans either naturalized or born Kenyans.

Somalis also have businesses in ´Tanzania and Kampala and Addis Abebe and nowhere do they find this kind of hostility. Some of you talk about Pirate money....WHO WAS FRANCIS DRAKE? google it. the English, the Spanish they built their empire with pirate money,,,,,,join the fun.

Let the Walalos do their business in peace, and shame on NCC, no infrastructure, look at those roads, and open sewers. By the way I have visited Eastleigh recently, despite the poor roads, its one of the safest hoods in Nairobi. My sis used to rent a place there, it was cheap, and you can walk around Eastleigh at 2 am, and nobody will bother you, try doing that at other places in Nai. . .

Consider the revenue generated by this businesses yet no services gained.A crackdown on this somalis is biased as they are not the only ones in the country illegaly.Go round the resorts and casinos in Mombasa,Malindi and Nairobi.

Eastleigh was originally mostly populated by jews during colonial days and after.This all you see is dirty money which is haraam in arabic.They could not invest this money close to the border coz al shabaab and fellow pirates will get at them.Safe to be in nairobi ,miles and miles away from clanism.The kporan says,via haraam huishia na haraam.Its a fare game.Let them built.Get them soon after!Somalis do not follow the teaching quit well.Ujambazi will meet jambazis here in kenya.
