got this from a blogger in response to sonko's tribulations....

what are wazuans experiences...?



"Most of us bloggers had had no the misfortune to brush with the Nairobi City Council goons. They are fellows out for no good at all. They draft and pass by-laws as they prowl the streets. Happen to puke when sick, they will not listen to you. They will manhandle you even before you are through. Tie a lace when stepping on a pavement, you find yourself airborne minus your essentials. Infact, they need reaction kin to their actions- because they'll never reason. "

...There is no doubt remaining that Sonko is a stupid man...But there are times when a stupid man does an isolated 'unstupid' act. People should have rallied behind him on his last act...Kanju people are simply stupid...Yesterday I was enjoying music at reasonable volume in a traffic jam when a stupid Kanjo man walked up to me and told me that I will be arrested...Lucky enough the traffic lights gave way and I zoomed off...

@impunity, i guess these are the chaps who hide hapo coop just before jeevanjee. Same chaps stopped me for "stepping on the zebra" As soon as i made to stop on the side...Vrrrooom....! Nasikia kuna warrant ya last year...

Two questions:
1. Do you drive daily along Msa road up until cabanas?

2. Do you see the number of accidents caused either by these same matatus dropping/picking commuters ANYWHERE, the same guys crossing ANYHOW?

IMHO I think it's rather you walk for that 3km than risk lives of pedestrians,drivers,school kids etc ati because of convenience....that road is a death trap...

Long distance matatus one is dropped at a designated stage and walks like 5km with heavy luggage..think about it...#thatisall

This guys are goons so if u get an opportunity to embarrass them, just do it...a few weeks back on sato around 3pm, I packed or rather madam packed in those disabled designated parking ..so I jumped over to the drivers's sit as madam went to do her errands..

3 mins later, a guy in a white overcoat comes and knocks or rather bangs the drivers door and instantly tries to confiscate the car keys.

I quickly chomoa the keys and shouts at the guys asking him who he was and 'na anataka nini'...he introduces himself as kajo then tells me that i'll need like 4k to be bailed for parking there....i listen to the guy then i tell him calmly to ingia the car on the passengers front seat we talk....Jamaa akajua amepata mpango wa Tusker and Nyama......Immediately he starts going round the car to the passenger seat...mimi huyu...nikafunga dirisha, gari nikawasha..........vvvrrrrrrmmmmmmm...and I drove off...The guy chased the car for like 50 metres akachoka........

Please dont try this if there is traffic...

Was there a justification for that?

@kimiri,you r quite an asset to walk around town with..congrats..there is a guy i want knocked down in town..

@cmk. Ishould have cautioned Wazuan's not to try this often. Nevertheless, these guys can be terribly annoying.

@FancyFace
To answer your questions.

1. I do
2. I See the Accidents,

But you seem assume to suggest that accidents on Mombasa road are caused by matatus stopping anywhere, and that kanjo should be supported in their bid to help reduce the accidents on mombasa road.
from my observation, matatus on mombasa road stop on acceleration lanes where there are no designated stages and in my opinion, this has a negligible effect on the number of accidents on the road.

You also seem to suggest that passengers should be dropped off at designated stages then they should cross the road as this will reduce the number of accidents. You also seem to suggest that kanjo should be supported to enforce this.

In my opinion, regardless of wherever the passengers are dropped the pedestrian will still cross a 3 lane road with heavy traffic. there is no where on mombasa road where traffic slows down. so what is the point in forcing the passengers to drop off at particular places.
