- Comedy is a full-time job in Kenya, as asserted by many who base their argument on the everyday happenings on the Kenyan interweb
- While the funny bit of Kenyans is majorly manifested on social media, those not on the platforms prove their comic side on the ground
- Kenyan roads are normally characterised by vehicles that have banners bearing funny messaging on them
By some design, Kenya is made up of full-time comics!

Whilst the humorous aspect of Kenyans could be well conveyed on social media, those who have not capitalised on the internet use other avenues.
While boarding that vehicle, private or public transport, some banner behind the vehicle you are trailing must have made you grin, if not laugh.
Lorries, tankers, heavy trucks and all other types of vehicles always have with their banners that bear hilarious messages that would induce laughter among those able to spot them.

Meanwhile, in some unrelated news, Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja has supported playing music in matatus to entertain passengers and using graffiti to decorate the vehicles.
Sakaja’s stance on matatu graffiti
Speaking during a consultative meeting with stakeholders in the matatu business, the county boss said the graffiti and the music are part of Nairobi culture.
“Na hii mambo ati graffiti na mziki kwa matatu ati wanasema ni mbaya, hio ni ufala ya zamani sana (They are saying graffiti and matatu music is bad, that is just in the past).” said the city county boss.

According to Sakaja, passengers should board a matatu that suits them.
For instance, those who are opposed to loud music to board matatus that don’t play music.
“Kama mtu anataka matatu haina mziki, angoje aingie hile haina mziki, na kama mtu anataka hile iko na mziki basi aingie. (If someone wants to board a matatu without music, then they should wait for one and if a matatu with music excites you, then so be it),” the politician added.
It should be noted that former president Uhuru Kenyatta directed the NTSA to lift the ban on graffiti and artwork in 2014.
However, the authority warned against using offensive gestures, wordings, symbols, pictures or signs.
