About 100,000 motorists use Thika road each day and since they pay the fuel levy at 9bob a litre, they will basically be maintaining the road themselves. If each of the motorists uses an average of 6litres of fuel each day, that's a tax of 5.4m each day or 162m each month or about 2B each year. The govt says the road will cost 200m per Yr to maintain, which is just 10% of the tax they will have paid. Infact the motorists should demand a refund of 1.8B for their unused taxes (which could have been used for roads maybe somewhere in Bondo).

By the way, the road is not complete, according to plans A2 should be tarmacked all the way to Ethiopia "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

Also add the fact that over a 1/3 of the traffic is buses, trucks, matatus n other guzzlers which swallow much more. We may be talking of 3b fuel levy here. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
