Caesar Augustus, the founder of Rome, uttered these powerful words: ‘I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.’ In essence, this is the task of everyone with authority over a city or an institution.
An institution can only be as successful as its leader. A great leader leaves an institution better than they found it.
Sadly, Nairobi has remained a city of bricks since its founding in 1899. You may agree with me that issues like modern sustainable housing and transport have eluded it.
