Obviously Kidero is unlikely to perform the feats you expect.

A vote is something you do daily, and you're usually too busy to follow it up. Everyone is busy. Even Kidero himself is busy managing a nine billion budget.

Takataka baadaye.


Obviously you are talking of the verb.

Obviously, Nairobians are talking of the noun that is now to be reciprocated.

Is it only me but have you noted the tuk tuk's in town and the boda bodas? This is going to be one hell of a messy city if this is not curbed. These two types of taxis should not be allowed anywhere inside the city centre or its 5km radius environs! Seriously! and the longer he waits, the worse the problem of removing them will be!

There are several things Kidero had promised to address in his first 100 days in office, kama collection of garbage from the city streets, enhance security, restore order in the traffic flow and human traffic. Perhaps he needs more time......

My biggest concern is the streets in the estates which r always potholed, uncollected garbage esp. in Eastlands, lack of planned markets in the estates and for traffic jam maybe he can try using the traffic lights the police r not fairing any better.

Jams can be handled in various ways:

- don't allow trucks on Uhuru Highway between 7 am and 8 pm...mara moja one lane is opened up and moving smoothly.
- No illegal bus stops for matatus. Enforce this tightly, again roundabouts will free up of jams.
- ensure mats at westlands stage pick and drop passengers inside the stage, not on the road. If waiyaki way flows, the highway flows
- Cops co-ordinate opening of highway, ie if nyayo is opened, so is bunyala, haille selassie, etc, with a few minutes delay. That way huge numbers of cars are moved in a short span of time.

Just a few observations...



Whatever happened to traffic lights? These policemen can be better deployed elsewhere bwana.

First you do these small basic things.

Then you enforce a congestion tax for cars in CBD and on Uhuru Highway. Just watch how things start changing. 1000 bob a week to use Highway or go into town. Take it or leave it!

But at least make the first move...don't talk theories and bore us with statistics we all know, be a man of action!


That's why our part of the called is called "Third World" aka "failed states". We have Matatus at the City Centre , every other elected folk has a "chase Car" and "security detail" as if they are semi-gods, informal traders outside the premises of other traders, sewer and water pipes running parallel and at times mixing etc. Our survival is indeed a miracle.

Things will only change when elected leaders put service first and not using public office to enrich themselves.

How come every road in the city is now a matatu bus stop? Moi Avenue, Tom Mboya, Ronald Ngala, Race Course Rd, River Rd, Luthili etc? Matatus are seriously congesting the city! Can matatus be compelled to pick up and drop passengers only at Railways, Muthurwa, Kariokor, Ngara, Bus Station? The governor who cracks this public transportation predicament will earn a lot of praises from me and many Kenyans.
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

Traffic is the first step he should take, you'd be surprised to see everything else fall into place easily.

Remember Kimunya's moratorium on registration of 14 seaters? Shelved for populist reasons. Lets now pay the price.
