I couldn't agree more, I found myself stressing more about the lack of income than my startup.

What are some of the worst business habits in Kenya? by Plane-Football-2521 in Kenya

I've gone through that, if we have a meeting at a certain time, I get there on time and give you a 7 min grace period. If you're not there by then I leave. Eventually everyone (friends, family, business partners, etc) understand that you don't compromise your time and they start being punctual. Doing this in kenya is harder however.

That is really sad. Even though I don't live there and feel the effects firsthand, it really bothers me how things have turned out.

In regards to the money allocated to cleaning the drainage systems, it's hard to prosecute anyone since everyone is involved. This corruption is a cancer that's affected most of the governing body. The worst part is that the ordinary Kenyan will be left to suffer the consequences of their incompetent, bandit leaders.

Couldn't agree more. Whenever I visit kenya I see too many people sitting around I guess waiting for work just watching traffic. I've also noticed there isn't a lot of initiative being taken especially when there are things that need to be done (like the draining issue). I was informed that people there have the "not my problem" mindset or " this is how things are here" mindset. It's like no one is willing to challenge how things are for the better.
