A photo of a receipt from a local establishment has sparked sharp reactions among Kenyans over the cost of the food.
Many had a lot to say after Deejay Smiles shared it, highlighting the price of the meal. He did not indicate if he was the person who spent that much.
The bill, paid through M-Pesa, included tea, coffee, and samosas. Many are comparing the cost at that restaurant to what is charged elsewhere in Nairobi.
The receipt shows one beef samosa costs KSh 1,750, and the individual ordered two samosas for a total of KSh 3,500. Other items on the menu included:
- 1 Black Coffee: KSh 500
- 1 Tea with milk: KSh 500
- 1 Masala tea: KSh 500
While some Kenyans were bemused, noting that the cost matched what they spend on rent or school fees, others were outraged.
One Kenyan commented, “Martin K. Mosop… Yani rent yangu ndio inakuliwa kama side order snacks.”
Here are more comments from Kenyans exclaiming loudly:
- Caleb Senior: Kwani hii chai inapikwa na maji ya uzima?
- Mutema Kyle: Rent ya miezi mbili ni breakfast ya mtu.
- Jackline Kihara: Khaaaiii….. mwadhani breakfast peke yake??? Mungu kwani nilikuja kuzindikisha wengine aki…
- Shiro Muya Muya: I thought my daughter buying small soda in Brookhouse at 400 bob and a slice of pizza at 1000 was enough.. wacha nikule ta Java at 200 na ni kubwa.
- Loise Mingan: Nimebaki hapo kwa tea with milk.
- Leah Mwaura: Rent ya miezi tatu?
- Amos Nyingi Nyingi: School fees ndio inakuliwa breakfast.
- Favoured Msoo Kings: Hii ni rent mzima na saa hizo hujashiba, samosa kwa butchery ni 20 bob, chai ni 30, coffee ni 5 bob.
- Mamake Tiana: Chai ya Mia tano kakikombe kadogo uuuuiiiii reke nemwo.. 500 kwa kibadask ni thermos kaa 5 hivi.
- Njuraga Undie Maa: Enyewe pesa ni poa ati ngiri cigana billo.
