With the coming of mobile phones, Kenyans can now make calls anywhere, anytime and phones are convenient. You can send money; withdraw money even from banks through online etc. But the elephant in the room is the public conversation Kenyans have. The famous one is the one senator Sonko had with the president to stop demolition and it was in loudspeaker mode. It was heard in public.
Lately I was in a matatu then a woman got a call and she stated shouting on top of her voice that if money is not increased, she will not make the trip. Unfortunately the trip was to bury her colleague who had passed away. You can imagine talking in public like that. What a shock! Other embarrassing conversation are the one Kenyans are making while gesturing and if you pass near such a person, you can be unfortunately be assaulted.
