[Jibril Cessay]

At least Kahawa Sukari had Calabash Bezique and Neighbor's Pub for quick pints and nyam chom.

Lakini,those KU riots made life fun. Remember the riots of 1990 when Ouko passed? No one left their house ati u going to school. GSU were everywhere and students had stones ready for destruction. I remember the time the students were ***uzwad mpaka ndani ya KU primo and kids jumped out of their chairs, over fences and run home. That day, running to Githurai was like running the 50m race.

But watu wa KU rioted for silly reason at times. In 1991, they rioted ati they wanted chicken cos they were tired of goat meat. So they took to the highway, stoned cars as usual and even burnt a few. I remember David Mulwa, the famous actor, playwright and professor was coming from National theatre and he was caught up in Mayhem. His car was stoned, overturned and burnt in a ditch. He crawled out alive and through the network of ditches between KU and kahawa barracks, he fikad home almost unscathed. I still remember his little white Toyota, mpaka number plate KUM 153.
