      It's because Kenya has changed its constitution to have more voices on the decision table, and guarantees that our voices are heard. We have to have public participation before any policy change or implementation, if not that policy is illegal and unconstitutional. We listen to women, youth, marginalized rural communities, business leaders, religious leaders, professionals; everyone.
      Kenya also have a somewhat working justice system. So we solve our disputes amicably through the courts, and everyone gets justice. So less likely for people to engage in war.

    Hi Vera,
    Thank you for visiting our country kenya,
    Kenyans are your cousins, and they love visitors.
    In Kenya we use reusable bags in the whole country. Using plastic bags can send you to prison for some years.
    Another is about security in the airport, due to incidents of terrorism in the country, like the one we had in Westgate mall where many people died,security is tight in mos areas in Kenya,
    You had to leave the vehicle so that it can go through scanning machines to prevent bombs being sneaked inside the airport premises. All in all it is meant to protect you.
    We look forward to welcome you again.

    Kenya's geolocation is very unique in that most of our neighbours are not politically stable or are in war. We have also been victims of terrorist attacks and with that we take our security very seriously especially in places that may be targets e.g.Malls, Airports, Government buildings etc...hence the reason for the extra security measures. Plastic bags are actually prohibited.

    About the rent its always monthly but depends on your flexibility, someone can pay 3-12 months ahead, some can pay twice monthly as in ½/½ , it basically depends with you so long as at the end of the month you'd have done your payments.

    In Kenya, you can pay rent for the whole year, six months, or even 3 or 2 months if you want to.

New apartments keep coming up everywhere offering different tastes and experiences.

    3 days ago the minister of education said schools will be ranked based on the number of trees in their compound. Rent in Kenya you cannot afford to pay a year in advance. An ordinary 2 bedroom house is $200 per month. Who can give $2400 in advance? Plastic bags were banned. You always carry a shopping bag or buy one that is biodegradable as you shop which can be an expensive habit

    Hey.. We Kenyans are hospitable people, its part n parcel of our culture. Planting trees is also instilled right away from primary school so its purposely done.
    Security checks; We've really suffered as a country bcoz of our hospitality by way of terrorists attacks/ bombs etc and so Kenyan governments have really invested in security across the country.. Its a pity you didn't stay for a longer period of time.. You'd have realised Kenyans Loooove their country.

Fast and cheap wifi - even free wifi in public spaces (Hotels, SOme Public trasport etc).....

    Airport security check: To get category 1 status to enable direct flights to the US from JKIA, certain security measures had to be taken given the airport is situated in a region known for terror attacks. Security is taken rather seriously everywhere. Almost all properties have guards and scanners everywhere.

    We are a great country and we will keep rising higher and higher.
    The extra security measures were necessitated by the heinous acts of terrorism that we had faced in the past.
    We use reusable non-plastic bags as the plastic bags are prohibited by our National Environment Management Authority (NEMA); it is actually a offense worth prosecution in court which could attract a hefty penalty/fine.

    Kenya banned plastics and to date it's illegal to manufacture,import,sell or use single-use-plastics or carrier bags.
    Most travellers to Kenya from major international airport are always warned to discard their plastic bags before boarding any flight to Nairobi ❤.
    We've gone a notch higher to ban plastic water bottles in national parks. Tourists have to get reusable water bottles while in parks.

    As an aged person i dont ever recall ever paying rent annually. Its never happened in Kenya. We get paid monthly and thereofe budget our expenses on a monthly basis. Its the norm here. Also our rent is on the higher side. An annual rental may seem overwhelming for most of us. Also what happens if you want to leave mid year, do you forego your rent for the remaining part of the year? In terms of plastic bags we havent used those for years throughout the country. We have also gone cashless though you can still use money but not so frequent

    The friendly police aspect in my opinion and as you rightly put it is the fact that Kenya being a touristic hotspot, people skills are very vital even by the police.
    Granted, police everywhere don't have a good reputation even in Kenya.
    The Kenya Police Service is subdivided into several units to handle different aspects of human interactions. Apart from the general patrol and traffic police units, there are; Tourism Police, Diplomatic Police, Airport Police,Railway Police, Port Police Units with specialized skills to cater to those segments of society and operations.
    As such, you are likely to encounter more friendlier police at the airport unit than may be those from the traffic unit for obvious reasons.

    Kenya went green in 2017 hence ban on plastic bags. Kenya is almost a cashless society, all government payments are cashless, covid also heightened use of cashless mode for payments, don't be afraid,it's safe as it can be. Am currently in Nigeria but av been warned not to Swipe my Visa. We are taught to plant trees and their importance since pre-school. As a tourist nation Kenyans are generally polite and welcoming.
    I'll have lots to say about Nigeria, especially the food but one shock I never understand is most Nigerians are loud...av learned they are really friendly but it's just their nature.
