That Kenyans love getting surprised is not surprising. We get surprised at almost everything, even the bad things that we have done to ourselves or to our surroundings.

Of late, we have been getting surprised at what has happened to the safety infrastructure on Outering Road in Nairobi. What is going on there should not surprise us because it has become commonplace almost on all roads countrywide, and our getting surprised just proves that we are indeed peculiar.
