Surprise, surprise, now the private sector in Kenya is calling on the government to take-up some austerity measures such as introducing salary freezes for two years, reason for that...to allow government to generate money and put inflation under control.

Well, well, this is what happens when you spend more than you can generate.

Did I hear it right that a few weeks ago another bypass was concessioned for 17B?

A quick calculation shows speeds above 150 km/h hence the name jaggernaut

Less than 20 MINS means your average speed is more than 126KPH. VROOMM!

The was a big debate whether they should have built flyovers along Uhuru highway where we have the roundabouts coming to town in 1960!!!. Read this in the papers recently. (50 yrs ago or something column). What a difference it would have made today. They were good planners and they knew what was to be done. Thika road expansion and the bypasses were planned in the early 70's. That is why government compulsorily acquired land for this roads in the 70's.

If they mark the roads well + do proper lighting + have the matatus stop blocking most of the road at some points. It will be quite possible to get to blue post in < 30 minutes from Muthaiga while driving under the speed limit.
