Really? Expound...
It's really not his initiatives but he gets the credit anyway. Lots of things/projects that Kidero was not able to push through coming online but the bigger push coming from national govt. Eastlands was really neglected looking like scenes from mad-max but there is now light at the end of the tunnel
1. KURA redoing the eastlands roads this time no local bush contractors. Before priority used to be in uptown. Nairobi county has done some good roads in eastlands.
2. Eastlands-the planning of the eastlands mini-city for mixed use mixed income development has begun. A lot of more of highrise apartments so more economic density in those areas
3. Railway city-all sudden there is a flurry of activity on this one. Will have an iconic central station, green mall, flyover from CBD to Industrial area, relocation of wakulima market.
4. The delivery of 14500 units in the Ngara area, Ngong road through joint venture is about to hit the ground. This was a flagship for kidero but flopped in implementation.
5. Sorting out the 50k title deeds for Umoja, Kariobangi, Dandora
6. Water-nothern collector project should be done next year so good prospects
Sonko still needs to be pushed to remove upcountry matatus and buses from CBD, garbage collection, creating more pedestrian areas and redoing the sidewalks.
