Beyond the picture-perfect skyscrapers of the Central Business District, filth and neglect reign in the back streets. The huge potholes turn into dams whenever it rains, thanks largely to a poor drainage system.

Moi Lane, behind the Tusky’s chain Beba Beba branch is such a case. It is characterised by a pungent stench while heaps of garbage litter the busy street – making it one of the city’s most polluted bacl-alleys.
