I think raising parking fees hundredfold is better than adding more concrete.

Well, maybe you have a point. But you cannot rule out the convenience of a car. However, this is debatable whether good public transport (with train system in there) will bring the required convenience d'oh!

And for those saying vote so and so for Uhuru Highway, please read the story well and you'll realize funding will be at risk ifyou take that route. Some commissioner spoke yesterday about ICC. I'm just saying...

there is too much free space to the left of uhuru highway heading towards westlands, they can put up an express road from mobasa road to limuru without the need of the barabara ya gorofa - the rest of the cash can be used to redo the nakuru - kisumu - busia highway

what you forget is that there is an aspect of aesthetics in this. My worry is the dirt that may accumulate under this road, haven for chokoras and illegal dumpsites

Seriously? What will happen at the crossing with Langata road? Valley road? Ngong road? E for effort.
And last I checked, the total junction~kisumu highway is under heavy construction! Hapa nakupea F.

think my friend, think.
whatever happened at muthaiga, pangani and the other crossings on the former thika road crossings will happen at langata, valley and gong road crossings.

I did not mention using the cash for heavy construction on total junction~kisumu highway I said redo the nakuru - kisumu - busia higway.

the convenience of uhuru highway vs inconvenience of uhuru kenyatta.

The later comparison is not related.
But you can say:
the convenience of uhuru highway vs convenience of PK or
the convenience of uhuru highway vs convenience of RAO

We don't have to choose an inconvenient option when there's a convenient option.

Ok, Stop thinking buddy. I don't understand that first point about a sijui parallel road along uhuru highway that will infact eat into uhuru park, wasting more very prime space n widening the road requiring even more bridges to cross. ...overhead road saves space n money in the long run.

The highway to kisumu from nakuru is being redone. As in imechimbuliwa already, n not mere recarpeting~money has already been allocated n work is in progress. Or what do you mean? . either I'm not getting you or you are not getting me. .

forget about thinking, maybe lets start by you imagining, the cost of building and maintaining overhead roads is much more not to mention the social problem they create, from being used as a den and blocking light to the prime land you are talking about.

if money has been allocated for nakuru - kisumu then the next allocation can be done for the kisumu busia, or to build the feeder roads to the rich agricultural rural areas
