For the physics gurus, electrical/electronic engineers -

I see an opportunity for research....on the correlation between magnetic fields around transformers/transmitters and radio frequencies. Perhaps how to improve performance the frequencies to reduce the interferance....

I know those guys at Kenya Institute of Mass Communication which is near that place have a radio station and some transmitters. Could be the cause but can't be sure. Happens near KBC at Uhuru Highway also.

Light can be affected by stromg gravitation field, like near a black hole, we dont have that around :-)

prolly because the radio freqs and the transformer freqs are much closer on the spectrum, so its easier for them to interfere with each other. light, otoh, is much further away from the other two, hence no interference......

The magnetic field theory does sound likely... and it's most prolly
the reason why (still agree with you Peter) but if the magnetic field
be the reason why, then that gives us a second question: why isn't
light affected since light is also on the EM spectrum?

PS: I'm no physicist either

Me.
