Reminds me of that issue of flint in water which affected poor Black communities in the projects for decades, yet racist IQ people never want to ask if it may affect their performance. Just prefer to assume there must be some kind of 'stupid gene' in their DNA.

No leaded gas is not sold in Kenya.
Biggest concern is old apartments in Kenya. They have corroded pipes.

When did kenyan gas become unleaded?

Stopped in 2005. I know that because I have read a lot of reports of water and food contamination in kenya

Mwafrika retardedness is with nutrition. We feed growing children maize and beans in their most important growth stage in high school.

The US is even worse with no home cooking, just toxic burgers and fries.

Seems the leaded fuel, can partially explain the behaviour of boda boda riders. They are inhaling fuel day and night sitting on their bikes.
