The folly of modern house with big windows, no grills

I bet that within a month, if it hasn’t happened already, those big beautiful windows will be fitted with prison-like grills, Kenya-style. We live in a country where you have to consider a long list of factors before doing something as necessary as constructing a house or renting one. The first is security, followed by accessibility and other important aspects such as the availability of water and electricity. Like many Kenyans, I don’t think I’d sleep a wink if the house I lived in had no bars on the windows or a perimeter wall. But this person would rather pay the Nairobi County government Sh200 every day than park at his place of work free of charge.
