A man staggers in front of me with a sack of potatoes heavy on his shoulders. At the gate of Wakulima Market, he almost falls as he steps over a pile of rotting tomatoes and cabbages.
When he finally eases the sack onto the ground, I ask him about the environmental conditions around him.
He looks set to vent in the few seconds he has before he can go for another sack, offloaded from trucks outside the market, but when he realises I am a journalist, he declines.
