Miraa'cle Speed Part 2

  • In part 1 of our series on 'The Miraa'cle Speed' we witnessed the lightening speeds that miraa vehicles clock to deliver their cargo. But how do they safely achieve these speeds considering the vehicles' heavy loads? Are these ordinary vehicles or are they custom-made? And must they be driven at such speeds anyway? Willis Raburu answers this question on the second and final part of 'The Miraa'cle Speed'.

    For those asking (and perhaps should have been mentioned on the documentary). Active ingredient of miraa is cathinone (similar effects to amphetamines) which is converted to cathine in a few hours after harvest of the miraa. Refrigeration or not, it will be converted to cathinone - which accounts for the known side effects of miraa including spermatorrhea, delirium, reduced Libido etc.
    Hence quite a chuck of why they need fast cars and heavy loads per speed. This is my basic understanding of the khat pharmacology.

    Thank you for covering this. It simply means that its the quality of the vehicle that determines the speeds. If PSVs could be serviced in the same manner, they could also keep up with the speeds.

      80mph on an American freeway is not equal to the same on a Kenyan road. Roads are much narrower, not well marked, have random potholes, terrain is hilly, and goats may appear around any corner dillydallying like goats do. The average American would drive these roads at 40mph, until they adjust.

I'm a Somali and my father was a mirraa driver in the 70'S from Meru to the north even inside Somalia. My point the first mirra drivers were Somalis fact. Sujui some of you mulitoka wapi can you at least learn the history of Kenya, all you saw are the somali immigrants in Eastleigh and think all the Somalis came from Somalia yesterday.
