Kenya is undoubtedly in the midst of a technology-driven revolution. You can tell because now everybody’s status reads “always online,” a sure sign that we are in the midst of a digital upheaval. However, even as we embrace this new phenomenon, there is an emergence of an elite digital social class. You can see them when you go to that upmarket mall or restaurant. You see them pecking away incessantly on their digital paraphernalia of phones, tablets and laptops. They live online. They have legions of digital followers, friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Once in a while I catch the television segment Who Owns Kenya? A crude version of it is replayed here on the Street almost every single day. The Street version is not Who Owns Nairobi? But more like Who Is More Nairobi? The reasoning is this, just like citizens of a country enjoy some privileges as compared to non citizens, those who are “more Nairobi” should also enjoy some extra benefits by that virtue.

You’ve heard the chatter already, haven’t you? The Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise has opened shop at the Junction Mall. The launch night attracted thousands of Nairobi residents who formed long queues out into the stairwell of the mall. A source hinted that the opening night grossed an astonishing Ksh. 2.5million (approximately $28,000), which is probably a record of sorts.

This model, fashion designer Liz Ogumbo is one of the sassiest musicians to step onto the Kenyan music scene, bringing a new unseen energy of soul style, elegance and charisma. In this debut album, KenSoul, Ogumbo explores her traditional background as a Luo girl and garnishes it with her vast travel experiences. Truth be told, when you first hear KenSoul its her sultry voice that catches you at first, but then you will notice her eloquence in topics such as love, life and politics.
