Ugandan content creator Simpo Gladys visiting Nairobi got more than she bargained for when she stopped to convert her money and discovered exactly how far her Ugandan shillings would stretch in Kenya.

Filming from inside a moving car on October 13, 2026, with Nairobi streets rolling past the windows, the creator shared her candid reaction after exchanging 100,000 Ugandan shillings at a local bureau.

The amount came back as just KSh 2,500, a figure that clearly caught her off guard.

What stung most was the comparison. On a previous trip, the same amount had fetched her somewhere around KSh 3,000, making the current rate feel like a step backwards.
