Quote:Si niliwaambia mkafikiria ni jokes Again, ask yourselves. Where have they invested? Kasuku Centre - KILELESHWA Wabera St - CBD Now the NEXT destination; KITENGELAJonJones, forget Thika Why didn't Charlie's open in Runda? Or Lavington? Or Westlands which we assume have people with more money and hence a better market? Nimesema mpaka karibu nichoke. All these guys are not airheads to invest billions on a dusty little town if that town's statistics and financial prospects were not CLEAR AS DAY and did not hence draw them in JonJones, face it blathee, New Runda CANNOT be stopped, even if MM vanished from the face of this planet .

If I was opening a new business that is catering to the middle class surely it would make sense to locate in medium and high density areas where the middle classes live.

An extreme case of tunnel vision thinking. Life is short. Live passionately.

Okay, so let's run with that Kahawa Sucrose is medium to high density Lavington is medium to high density Jon Jones' Thika town is medium to high density So is Ruaka, Kamakis, Kasa, Westie, Parklands, Loresho, South C and everything between them. Of all these and more, why did Charlie's pick a dusty little no name town to be it's only branch outside Nai core?

JonJones, when we told you ferras over 5 years ago that DC is the future you thought it was jokes . When we told you Kitengela will be the BIGGEST BENEFICIARY of Konza Technopolis makfikiria ni mzaha. Now look at this gamechanger. The commuter rail will go all the way to Konza City via Kitengela accoring to KRC's plans. Meaning a delicious economic corridor will develop with New Runda at the heart of it Notice too that the new station will be at the heart of a middle class and above residential area, not the heart of Kitengela town.

Kenya Railways building ten new stations to woo road commuters
Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) is building ten new stations in Nairobi and its satellite towns as it seeks to bring its services closer to commuters and boost passenger numbers.
KRC is betting on the ten to win over more commuters forced to use congested roads owing to remote locations of some stations and frequent breakdown of its locomotives.
The upcoming stations are in Kibera, Kenyatta University, Mukuru Kwa Njenga, Satellite in Nairobi and Mutindwa, Lukenya [KITENGELA], and Konza in Machakos.
“Currently, we have about three stations in Kibera,” KRC Managing Director Philip Mainga told the Business Daily in an interview.
He added: “We have just completed Mukuru Kwa Njenga. The Kenyatta University station is ongoing as well as several others.”
KRC has been upgrading its infrastructure in Nairobi as it seeks to improve commuter services. Also Read
President Uhuru Kenyatta in December 2020, launched the revamped Nairobi Commuter Rail Service (NCRS) and the refurbished Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs). They consisted of 11 DMUs and Commuter Rail Buses.
The project was part of the Nairobi Metropolitan Transport Master Plan modernisation and expansion of underutilised railway transport to reduce congestion on city roads.
NMS earlier said that the mobile units will ease the traffic gridlock in the capital by providing alternative means of transport.
The Nairobi Central Railway Station serves as the nerve centre of operations connecting with the DMUs that ply city routes, which include Embakasi Village, Pipeline and Donholm Railway Stations.
Currently, there are commuter train services on Nairobi – Imara Daima-Syokimau route, Nairobi – Githurai – Mwiki – Kahawa – Ruiru route, Nairobi-Embakasi route, and Nairobi – Kibera – Kikuyu route.
According to Kenya Railways, the NCRS will create an efficient and affordable mass rapid transit transport system for the city as well as integrate rail with other modes of transport in the country.
The project has been developed within the existing railway corridors to provide commuter rail services between Nairobi Railway Station.
Upcoming projects being in Mutuini, Dagoretti Market, Thogoto, Gitaru, Aviation, Kariobangi South, Membley and Strathmore/Madaraka.

Relief for Kitengela residents as bypass is tarmackedhttps://www.kenyanews.go...as-bypass-is-tarmacked/
Major artery tarmacked Mind you this is before Kitengela has even become a municipality - coming very soon. Once that happens KURA funds are unlocked and tarmack roads will flood the town. Old Namanga Road, Milimani's roads and the Kitengela CBD roads all need to be tarmacked latest 2030

Kitengela https://www.businessdail...-kitengela-town-3750334 Taps run dry as water cartels hit Kitengela town Runda https://rundawater.co.ke/home/
I am in neither suburb. I am just adding fuel to the fire. I have to say Kitengela looks very different from how it looked 10 years ago. There are pluses and minuses though. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

You had to come in with a low blow eh? Ask yourself why you never hear the over 100,000 middle class and above residents of Kitengela whining about water day in day out Walijipanga kitambo tena sana. In fact we are more water secure than Runda, believe it or not. Boreholes!Water is a very simple ting' with very simple solutions. Watu wengine kama sisi who harvest and store can live 6 months without needing to go to anybody for anything.

Did you know that Kitengela has a near-zero youth unemployment rate? It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that this is why Kitengela is the fastest growing town in Kenya

Bure ghabiza. Kazi yenu ni ngelele squeeeeeeeh, matusi na trolling while contributing ZERO to the debate. IYO TU. Have you read the title of this post? Note how skilfully VVS debates, even when he disagrees, and take cue, kapish??? If you are NOT a troll nor FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE, can we agree to STICK TO TOPIC on the merits and demerits of New Runda? Whoever built OBC Kitengela is a genius! Just by having top notch Brands like Quickmart and Charlie's on site, he/she has boosted surrounding property values by over a million bob per 1/4 acre
