I still think parking is still very cheap in Nairobi. If I were to get
my way, I would fix parking at an hourly rate, say 100bob an hour, and
then no one will go to town and simply park their cars there, and then
the Kenyans who have stuff to do at the CBD will come and get parking
- then, I would improve transportation within the CBD at nearly zero
bob, so you won't have a reason to take your car to the CBD if you
work there, but thats just in my head, again!!!
