Kariobangi • A name that has caught Githuku Mungai’s attention is Kariobangi, in Nairobi’s Eastlands, particularly its origin. “It seems to have been formed out of two words, Kario and Bangi. The latter is a variant of bhang, whose scientific name is cannabis sativa. Could this name have anything to do with the ‘weed’? And what is Kario?” His contact is [email protected].
