@Impunity, Let the expansion be.....unless you are still in love with congested pot-holed roads. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Only a Luo can call a road expansion project 'Maddness' because it has been initiated by Baks. We need control of the city and stories of defending hawkers even when they set shop on Moi Avenue tarmac does not wash with street kids.  "One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Rev Canon Karanja.

It is actually the government's irresponsibility of trying to sort out a current problem with short term measures... they thought City Stadium was very far from town.... so, we can actually say that those hawkers are at city stadium "legally".....

Many do not take time to realise that the country is making great strides towards proposperity even through there are equity issues. Infrastructure is key and any sane leader knows this. for the tribal bigots....go to hell. I wish there was a kind of bulldozer that would be deployed to bring down your attitudes....That too would push the country far. Lastly, I just passed by City Stadium and it appears the demolition is taking place in phases, and the stall owners seem to be taking part in it..Now, Jogoo road being in Eastlands, can we say that Nairobians are more civil than Londoners?

I think RAO deserves credit too. When he started demolishing buidings on road reserves in Runda, Mlolongo etc People were apprehensive but we can all see now the matunda.
Have been wondering why the delay starting the Southern Bypass? Outering Road guys I feel for you. I still think Southhern bypass - Mombasa Road to Kikuyu should have been given priority to the Western Rings roads that were flagged off last week.

Wendz, the hawkers were probably given adequate notices to demolish their structures. but trust kenyans to procrastinate until last minute - remember the nakumatt incidence on thika road?
When there is a demolition in progress unles the issue is politicized, due process is usually followed prior to the action.

Ngong road dual carriageway is awaiting funding by the EU. The design was done as early as 1997. World Bank was to finance the project then but ran into trouble with MO1

Much as I have my differences with Baks, I must give the devil his due. This guy has REALLY tried. Had MO1 even done half of what Baks has acheived in the last 10 years, we would be very far as a country. Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgement...
