Old is gold: Why there's booming business in old building materials

Old building materials are on sale along Lower Kabete Road. [XN Iraki, Standard]

Lower Kabete Road, just before turning into Kyuna Road is now a gold mine. The gold is old building materials - bricks, stones, windows, bathtubs, toilet cisterns, building stones, door handles, among others.

The presence of lorries and pickups leaves no doubt some brisk business is going on. One transporter told me these items go as far as Mombasa.
