The one-sided pact that messed up Nairobi’s public transport

What you need to know:

It was clear that City Hall was trapped in a bad agreement dated October 18, 1966 and officials were either blind to it or did not care.
Since February 1934, KBS had been operating per various agreements it had entered with the colonial city council.
But when the British company was asked to sell some shares to the council after independence, it behaved more like a shylock.

For the past one week, we have been talking about the lopsided contract that Kenya signed to build and run the Standard Gauge Railway.

It seems we have now perfected the art of signing such deals with foreign companies without caring about the long-term effects.
