Both Maps and Earth use "tiles" AFAICT.  Some tiles are clearly
updated, while others are not.

flush your cache maybe?

ah yes, but they are not called BrandKenya or Kenya Tourist Board Free
maps are they?  All Google decisions are based on data.  Perhaps your
neighborhood isn't a popular one in searches and updates, hence no
updates, or perhaps there are no updated tiles available?

In any case, if you don't like the service, Yahoo, Bing and
openstreetmap are all free as well.
