I had liked the photo then on careful scrutiny I saw MPESA in 1990 that must have been some crack head time machine from 2006 -1990 so I am going to unlike it now.

A creative KoT offered the explanation to the apparent mixup as below.
They say Naivas started on that building in 1990. They have since moved and the building now has other tenants.

The short of it, is that they didn’t take photos of their starting out in 1990 and returned to take one during MPESA era.
