and the Million Dollar Sameer Park which has just been completed. this is crazy. Why did they have to wait for the properties to be completed to make the move. For standard , I sense politics...This is just a sequel to the infamous STANDARD RAID

Kwani standard are the only ones affectd? Ama the rest are organising themselves first kuchapa nduru?? Damn cry babies..there are better ways to handle this than focus entire news on "we see ill-political-motives here" You'd think melly is kenya's delivere from impunity and oppression!! NKT!

the complaint that it will cripple them is as flimsy as their news..washaa jicripple wenyewe!! reminds me of naikuni smiling every time KQ faces a crisis coz he can explain away his non-performance..

This government should get its priorities right. I think the main issues with Mombasa road for now are as follows, in order of priority.

1. Get rid of Nyayo/Bunyala/Haile-selassie/University way round-abouts - thats where the bottleneck is. The rest of Mombasa road is fairly OK for now and its expansion is not a priority. So I was expecting to see them saying Nakumatt/Toyota buildings and part of Nyayo stadium are to be demolished - incidentally I see some construction happening there at the moment. The government can then acquire part of Railways golf club and Uhuru highway (cheaper than compensating the likes of Harambee plaza), to have overpasses all the way to Museum hill. For buildings around Westlands round-about, I don't see much of a choice, they'd have to go.

2.Sort out the Southern by-pass. Even if they have no money to complete it, at least do the section from Ole-sereni to Ngong road. They can even sort the fly-overs later, but at least have a usable road.

3.Fly-overs at Cabanas and GM-Sameer park.

4.An outer-bypass from Athi-River - Kitengela - Isinya - Kiserian joining Mai-Mahiu road. This road exists, just needs to be expanded at tarmacked. All tracks to Western should use that road and banned from coming to CBD.

BTW. This deal of concessioning the road to Strabag is ill-informed. The daily toll-charges mentioned are prohibitive, and I don't see a real altenative for an ordinary Kenyan who commutes from Athi-River to town, and has to pay over 1000/- per day on toll-fees alone. If there has to be toll-stations, let them be government-owned, but its management can be out-sourced.

Let's to what can be done now, as we work on the grand plans for the future. I really feel for Mombasa road drivers who have to queue on a jam extending all the way to Belle-vue as early as 6am.

TD , I rarely visit this section of Wazua My county is Clubsk ,have just seen your recommendations , They look good .

Mmmmmmmmmm.....how else do you cut deals in this country and make money!All wake up and smell the roses...or..is it coffee!!!And here your are teaching the experts or you think the technocrats in the gava are dimwits?Pleezzz!!!
