The Kawangware I visited in the 1980s is quite different from the current one. Back then, it was a village, an extension of Kiambu and its traditions. It was made of shacks and open large spaces.
I recall the skeleton of a Pontiac sedan. General Motors no longer produces Pontiac. Today, Kawangware, which is separated from Lavington by Rusinga School, is going through gentrification just like Kinoo, Ruaka or Kikuyu.
