Many moons ago, a relation drove a truck to Kinangop, loaded it with cabbage - secured on the cheap from farmers eager to part with their produce - and drove to the farmers' market in Nairobi, popularly known as Marigiti.

There, he was met by kabuti-wearing men. "Who invited you to supply the vegetables?" they asked. He shrugged. Ours is a free-market economy, isn't it? "Who asked you to supply cabbages here," the men repeated, an edge of irritation creeping in their voices. He was ordered to leave.
