"Parking Boys"

Hii vijana husumbua watu kwa parking who do they work for? With whose authority do they use kuitisha watu pesa? Nani anakuaga nyuma yao? Pia point out the areas they are found most to enable motorists avoid them…

Unfortunately if you want your car to be safe in County Council parking areas you’ll have to pay them.
Even if you park right outside City Hall you’ll have to reach into your pocket or you’ll be asked to move your car (this is despite paying the County parking fees).
Alternative is the private lots. I made friends with the chogis at Nbi Safari Club so I pay between 100-200 depending on duration.

Shithole economy

It’s signal of failed rule of law couple with poverty

Parking in Nairobi inataka ujue kuongea lugha ya Watchmen. Paying kanju 300bob daily na security ujipange doesn’t make sense

kuna mawayo wanakuwaga stage kila corner ya hii kenya yetu
huwa tunawagotea sometimes unawapatia 50bob ama 20 bob sio ati juu sisi ni mafala inaitwa kuishi na watu
same way chokora ishi nao poa patia yeye 20bob uende home na side mirror zako

Mimi hupark kwa basement ya nakumatt life style naenda roundi zangu tao bila pressure.

Just identify 3 or so buildings within town and befriend the watchmen…unawaachia 200 gari inawekwa basement whole day bila wasiwasi. Mimi yangu hua next na chepukati every time am in town ama AG iko every time am in town

With WHOSE authority. just saying

watu wa footsubishi hamna stress

Juana na hao vijana na watchmen. While still working in the CBD, I enjoyed “free” parking for three years juu ya hawa vijana na watchmen. Sikuwahi lipia kanjo. Kuna ukora wanakuwanga nayo na watu wa kanjo. Ilifika time watchmen would call me to find out if I was coming to town waniweke parking.
As someone said hapo juu, jua kuishi na watu. Hata saa hii nikitaka kwenda kurave in town, all I need to do is call soldiers or the parking boys to reserve a slot for me.

Nairobi ni kujuana. Gari unalipia 200 tu the whole day kwa prime parking spaces

Gari mihupark kwa club halafu nachukua mat mpaka tao, but on the rare occasions I decide to park in tao, naenda either kwa mosque which is free, ama kwa back street ya River road naachia jeshi ka rwabe.

Same to me

Kwani unapark nyumbani? Huna gari ni panganga tu unapiga.

lifestyle ni shida tupu wakati unatoka you can take several hours

What are talking about ? I have parked there for 2yrs now and i have never experienced any delay that lasted more than 3 minutes and its very convenient interms of accessing all the major roads. I dont see myself changing anytime soon.

Mi nawacha gari Westi near Museum hill. Free
then najog hadi Mjini and Back…

The situation in CBD is like grabbing a parking , there is a guy who was the boss outside Simmers, during the week you could hardly park your car despite there being one or two empty slots unless you agree on duration and a token from one of his boys and mind you he was not a parking attendant.
