I am so sorry for all the O rongai fellas who have to deal with crazy traffic every day etc etc (I hope that sounded sincere)

But why did you move there. And once you are there you start demanding for changes "ooohhh serikali, ooohhh serikali, ooohhh!". Olkejuado County Council has to be concerned about pastoral issues if they don't who will?

If you wanted to stay in runda you should just have moved to Runda as opposed to moving to O Rongai and start complaining that this place is not like runda.


Eish!Shame on you
@Tony U must not talk like that about our homeland. We are not interested in stayin elsewhere as u r suggesting. we are only stating in the affirmative what the authorities should be doing right and we shall continue pushing for it. O/Rongai will soon be a place to admire but we have to seek for solutions to existing problems. We are pro development and we like to settle in new places where we can afford a decent lifestyle in excellent homesteads.

@cde ....The Urban Slum thingie is a self dream.Those who think its or will become a reality can continue dreaming. Ours is a metropolis dream......
The only place where dreams are impossible is your mind

I have lived in Rongai for the last 6 years and am afraid i have to agree with the critics that its headed the slum way.

None of the dozens of roads that branch off from Magadi road is in its original size (6 metres). Take Umoja road for example, only one vehicle can pass at a time leaving no room for even a motorcycle. Its been grabbed on both sides and the owners have put up permanent structures complete with perimeter walls.

The owner of Vision house opposite NBK realized he's the only one left out and expanded Vision house by grabbing part of the road.

Where I stay, two landlords pump the filthy contents of their septic tanks to the road. We teamed up with the Public health officer, a Mr.Mutiso, to fight the guy but we lost.

The land designated for the market, public cemetery & sewerage were all grabbed.

The property I bought 6 years ago has appreciated by over 100% and I think its time to cut my losses and run.

That right there is your greatest opportunity. Municipal authorities in my experience are the reason why things are worse and not better in other areas. Imagine if you form your own and every household and business contributed say 100/- to 500/- a month for all those things you've mentioned, that place will transform and attract a better caliber of investors.

BBI will solve it :)

I think the horse has already bolted on this one unless there is extremely radical action.

i feel you. it is a problem with many urban centers in Kenya. it is why as somebody once said " westlands has become a Kangemi instead of Kangemi becoming a Westlands"
