2.5 kilometers away from the heart of the Nairobi Central Business District lies Ngara Market. Every morning on my way to work, I see that the market is just beginning to wake up from its disturbed slumber that only lasted a few hours.

Shops are beginning to be stuffed and street vendors make the pathways extremely narrow forcing people to walk in a straight line like soldiers going to battle.
