In this four-part investigative series, we go undercover in two of Kenya’s biggest slums; Kibera and Mathare. We uncover the criminal gangs offering illegal connections, and unsafe electricity and water to these informal settlements. In addition, we lay bare, the gaps in governance that enable the cartels to thrive.

Thanks for this documentary. I am huge fan of African Uncensored. I particularly love how the channel continues to push the boundaries of investigative journalism, with a heavy focus on human interest stories. I am a journalist and an editor with a mainstream publication, so I should know the incredible work you folks are doing. However, I could not go past this first episode because the reporter has allowed 'experts' and 'talking heads' to get in between a beautiful story. I don't understand the rationale behind including the voices of Jerotich Seii and Irungu Houghton (both amazing people) early in the documentary. What value exactly do they add to the story even when we are yet to hear the voices of ordinary people living in the ghettos who are struggling with lack of basic amenities? I felt like they disrupted the flow of the story. Including expert voices is not an inherently bad thing, in fact, it is a standard practice in investigative documentaries. However, the reporter in this case should also conduct extensive research to avoid the temptation of bringing in experts to act as fillers. Experts, I believe, should be called upon to clarify issues, and this should be organic. Their views should spring from what the story is saying, not them 'leading' us to how we should interpret the story.

People in Kibera and Mathare slums should be empowered to handle their problems themselves. The area could be divided up, and a board could be formed by randomly picked persons who would be replaced also randomly every 12 months, and then given resources in form of an allowance while being on the board, plus access to get the service personnel from KPLC, and Nairobi Water to work for them. The board would make plans for what should be done, then there should be allocated sufficient funds for some work to be done, and then the board should be the judge of results. The power should be made cheaper for slum dwellers and so should water. I am myself one of those who cannot tell what the solution should be. Except that the solution should be thought out by these good people themselves and then authorities should be the ones carrying out the work. As in: If there are 3 million people settled in one of these slums, and it takes, say, 1 day to connect 8 homes properly in a structured way, then Nairobi Water could hire trainers to train other trainers in proper water connection and proper electricity connection and then have their own staff direct those locally trained people to do the last mile connections. A part of the solution could be to simply distribute small but very high quality solar panels and batteries to everyone. And on the water side - to create proper distribution points with high speed filling of jerrycans (like a 1.5 inch pressured pipe which can be operated electrically and fill a jerrycan in for instance 5 seconds without spilling (timed accurately). This would stop the queues and if the cost of Jerry canned water could be simply set to kshs 0 - free - then cartels would die out. Lastly the sewage must also be dealt with. Public toilets everywhere which are maintained clean could be a solution. Again. The people living there should be in charge. The issue I am trying to address is to avoid pipes and wires totally. Whether water, electricity or sewage. And centralize those. Lastly but not the least: The garbage must be sorted out. The garbage is actually an energy source if collected and incinerated at high temperature. As it is now it spreads disease and discomfort. Therefore garbage could be collected against payment. Garbage trucks could be stationed at the entrances to these slums and everyone who brings a can of garbage will be paid 1 kshs. Every truckload would carry some 800 canisters of garbage (20 liter Jerry cans), resembling roughly 20 tonnes of garbage. That would cost the municipality 800 Bob for the garbage and a similar amount in diesel and salaries to drive to the incinerator. The maybe 30000 to 50000 truckloads necessary to drive away could be sorted out within a couple of years and it would not cost the city much, and the way to do it could continue but at a sustainable level, when the piles have been cleared. Every household produces approximately 0.5 kilogram of garbage per day. In the slum maybe 1 million households host 3 million people, leaving thereby some 500 tonnes of garbage per day, or, 25 truck loads per day. 1 years of garbage thereby resembles some 8000 truck loads. Hence the possible clearing of some 30000 to 50000 truckloads over a few years before continuing with the maybe 25 truckloads per day. If organised a bit the necessary maybe 300 truckloads per day could be carried out with 1 truck doing 3 round trips per day, thereby occupying 100 trucks ferrying garbage every day for some years until it can be reduced to 25 or so per day.

@@blueisthecolor3004 they built the houses but did nothing to the slum. I saw in the news, read online. Rwanda built houses for their poor, wish our government could emulate Rwanda. But watu hawatosheki people in Rwanda complain that the government houses are far from their places of work. So gava ikiprovide housing pia inaexpectiwa iprovide source of livelihood. It seems solving one problem creates another. But its better they eliminate the slums first and worry about jobs later. This way the international media will have few negative things to say about Kenya. I saw a comment somewhere that Nigerians think Kenyans are poor n am sure it's coz of the numerous documentaries about kibera by the western media.

Can the myth that Kibera is the largest slum in Africa end??? That claim was made way back in the late 2000s by NGOs who used to claim that Kibera had nearly a million people in order to get donor funds. The last two censuses have highlighted the fact that Kibera is not only not that dense, it is not even the largest slum in Nairobi. Mukuru slums is the largest. According to the 2019 census, Kibera slum is entirely in Kibra Constituency and covers 4 of its 5 wards excluding Woodley-Golf Course estate ward. When you exclude Woodley, Kibra constituency has a total population of around 130, 000 people. Well below the 700,000-1 million claimed by some NGOs. It is also sad to see a Kenyan journalist making this claim when it has been debunked(several times now) even by our own media, the census and even by looking at things like number of voters coming from Kibera who would represent most of the adult population there.

@@u-know-this I literally live in Nairobi. 2. You must be extremely poor in Mathematics and have poor eyesight if you think 130k people would have a quarter acre in Kibera. All of Kibera occupies 2.38 square kilometers. This is not me who said this, this is a figure you can find on every survey of Nairobi and also something you can literally use Google Maps to measure. You can literally see the entire slum from one vantage point in Lang'ata. It really is not that big. It has a lot of people squeezed in one area but Kibera is not big. Even in terms of size, Mukuru combined with Viwandani is bigger physically. If the claim that Kibera had 700,000 people was true, it would mean that Kibera has 300,000 people per square kilometer And this is a a slum with very few buildings going above three floors. Unless the people sleep while standing and do not move whatsoever, this is an impossibility. There is no place on Earth that is that densely populated Even at 130,000 people, Kibera is more congested than many highrise slumburbia estates like Pipeline where at least it can make sense because many buildings of even to 10 floors. Kibera has 130,000 people. Unless you want to dispute 20 years of data or want to claim that Kibera occupies like all of Nairobi province
