Why Kawangware has more posho mills than pubs

If you live in posh Lavington and yearn for mahindi ya kusagwa, you have to go to next-door Kawangware slums, the posho mill capital of Nairobi.

But you will never catch the well-heeled in their Brioni suits and Canali shoes lining up with gunias of maize outside posho mills. Rather, when the craving for ugali ya posho mill strikes,  they send Miss Mboch, the house boy or watchie to Kawangware, where the posho mill is the real deal, no wonder they operate 24 hours on either diesel or electricity.
