Post-independence Kenya is a land still rooted in disparity. In Nairobi, 65% of the population still lives in informal settlements that sprouted up during the colonial period. These settlements, like Kibera – one of Africa’s biggest slums – were set up to serve the elite in neighboring white areas like Karen.
Residents of Kibera say not much has changed today, except that the white man has been replaced by his black counterparts – a very well-packaged class that learned from the white settlers and is an ally to the colonial front.
