Omin,
my beef is with crime. It is offensive for Maddo to insinuate that all those who mugged people at Carnivore, or for that matter, those who mugg people in town are from Eastlands.
Crime is bad and Eastlands must not be used as a crime reference.
I am proud that I am staying in the East of Nairobi and I am not a criminal. The same applies to the many honest people who stay in Eastlands. Crime must not be tagged. And if it must be tagged, the use of Eastlands is segregative.
It is like there are no criminals at Southlands, Westlands, or Northlands.
For Maddo to associate crime with Eastlands is abussive to us. I demand apologies.

know that crime is an issue. But if there is crime at Carnivore, must it be by those from Eastlands?
That was my beef.

Greetings all,
Honestly, Maddo doesnt need to apologize to anyone. We all know that insecurity in Nairobi is a major issue. No matter where you stay it is just a big problem. Eastlands for a long time has had issues with security. I have lived in eastlands for a while now and i thank God i have not been a victim, but i can not say the same about several of my Neighbours.
As a matter of fact we should use this article to petition the internal security minister, the police commissioner, the several OCPDs involved in eastlands to do something about the security issue in Eastlands.
Lets complain less and act more. Let us get something positive from this issue by acting to improve our security.

there is nothing new about the security status of eastlands and one should not take offense about that. its true one of the worst places interms of security is eastlands home of thugs where young boys at the ages of 15 or so start jumping people in town others even own guns so there is no problem with maddo saying so.

Excuse me guys, but while it’s pretty unsafe in most parts on Nairobi, I always believed Eastlands is the most unsafe so Maddo is not telling us anything new, unless you guys just want to make some noise about a non-issue. Rather than try to get an apology from Maddo, we should be asking for that same apology from the Commish, who has not managed the insecurity in Nairobi, and in Kenya. Maddo just raised a pertinent issue. I haven’t read that piece, but he’s not far away from the truth, as much as I know.
Why would it be seen as important for Maddo to make any apologies to anyone, when we know so well the security situation around Nairobi? If he pointed to my area, I wouldn’t raise a finger, as I always have to watch my back everywhere in Nairobi.
Tell us another, please, but leave Maddo with his opinion.

I take great exception to todays issue of Madd Madd World in the Standard Newspaper.
The reference of Eastlandoz as the home of thugs is an abuse that we cannot accept. That Eastlandoz who wanted to go to carnivore mugged people to enable them go there is an affront on the integrity of us who stay in Eastlands.
I demand an apology from Madd. I do not mug to enable me access places like Carnivore. I also know many people who stay in Eastlands who live honest lives.
This issue is abussive to us.
