wrote Peter Waterman, and I am inclined to agree with him when I listen to
Mr. Daniel Onyango, a young inhabitant of Korogocho, one of the slums of
Nairobi :

    "Here is common that many young people are shot everyday on suspicion
of been criminal's especially when the former minister of internal
security who was there last year issued a shot to kill order to police to
kill any person suspected to be a criminal. In fact immediately after my
cousin was shot other two young people were shot by police just a few
meter's from where we stay." ..."we are fine and doing well. Isaiah is
doing well in the Piano, Simon also well in playing the guitar and we also
have another young man who is playing for us too. Am also learning to play
the percussion and other instruments." ..."we have found somebody who
specialize in computer and willing to get for us one at a very cheap
price, we have also contributed some few money among ourself so that we
can be able to have one though the money is not yet enough.If you could
know somebody from your country who might be coming to Nairobi you could
also send him come with it if you may be able to find one. (Quoted in
http://blog.spinellisfootsteps.info from Mr Onyango's recent email with
his permission)

All the best.
