Pepper spray legal in Kenya? by Kschloe

Anyone know if it's legal to have pepper spray in Kenya?

gbella

Driving in Kenya by Maximilien

Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in Kenya? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excess… what are the characteristics of the driving style ...

Hi, I am Kenyan and this article is hilarious and true! But, think about it, people often don't know what they don't know. If I went and bought a driving licence for instance rather than take a full course and actually QUALIFY, the clearly, ... Read More
