"62 years after Kenya gained idependence from Great Britain, the impacts of colonialism are still visible in Ngong which was a key administration post for the colonial government.

During the Berlin Conference a few individuals illegally and shamelessly proceeded to baptize their new territories with new names, disregarding existing culture and social realities.

Colonialism introduced European system of naming which impacted the naming practices for both places and individuals across Africa.

After independence, the new government was unable to reverse the colonialists system of naming.

A section of Kisii Ndogo residents have proposed the names "Kisii Ndogo" be dropped in favour of "Caphill Estate".

'Kisii Ndogo' is located near Ngong Township Secondary School. The area adopted the name due to the high population of the Abagusii community.

The residents who supports the dropping of the names "Kisii Ndogo" cite the cosmopolitan state of the area.

This is not the only area within Kajiado North which has adopted new names. Kîanûgû in Oloolua has adopted the name "Karen C" as an extension of Karen area which borders Oloolua.

Ironically, Karen was named after Karen Blixen, a colonialist accused by the late Ngugi wa Thiong'o for using dehumanizing language to describe Africans in her writings.

Oloolua community honoured a colonialist accused of grabbing thousands of acres of Maasai land.

"Kîanugu" a Kikuyu name meaning a place where monkeys are found is more symbolic to the area than Karen C.

Furthermore, the monkeys may annoy farmers once in a while by invading their farm in search of food but there is no records of monkeys ever grabbing anyone's land.

Gichagi in Ngong has also dropped the name "Gichagi" and adopted the name "Uplands"

Many roads, streets, estates, business premises have western names and those with local names carry the wrong vowels resulting to wrong pronunciations and ultimately corrupting the language.

Many religious institution will accept the name William, Henry, Richard, and Charles, Jack, Oliver, Alexander, Lily, Olivia, Charlotte, Ivy which have no biblical connection and refuse to baptise those with two African names.

Let's embrace our local names and be proud of our vernacular languages because that is who we are.

Dropping African names in favour of foreign names is a sign of inferiority complex that must be reversed."

Proud African (Ngong)

"Elveza kindly ask the traffic police if 'bodaboda' riders have immunity over traffic rules. I have noted 'bodaboda' riders do not obey traffic lights. The traffic police just allow them to break the laws with a lot of impunity as they watch.

Traffic rules should be obeyed by vehicles owners, 'bodaboda' riders, cyclists and even pedestrians. Traffic police should enforce the laws equally."
