Are the issues at hand real and factual?

If yes then let the law take its course.

Above all if it happens,we shall have restored the dignity of the Capital City of Kenya.We shall get rid of the drug thug as a governor.

It was front page news on Monday, May 18,1998. The East African Standard copy is circulating huko twitter. Sema jamaa kulimwo

Sonko should stop listening to Drake "City is mine". It doesn't work that way kwa ground

Unfortunately, he quietly handled no issue! When I visited Nairobi I could see all the potholes in Estate roads, including Westlands Church road where my business of interest is located, and the residents continuously complained of water problems. But lately, when I'm there, the tanks are full of water, courtesy of Sonko.

NB: I do not support Sonko as a leader!

Again I am not proposing the creation of a new capital. I am proposing the decongestion of the city by moving government operations out of the city and incentivizing the private sector to relocate their operations out of the city.

I have 3 observations on Abuja

1. The Naija government was not aggressive enough. In fact many government agencies are still located in Lagos
2. They did not incentive the private sector to leave Lagos
3. The Abuja government has been discouraging mass migration to Abuja in order to maintain the City's pristine condition. In fact there has been massive demolition of informal settlements and evictions from the city.

Moving malls and services out of the city is not gonna cut it. Last I checked, the City is still chocking in endless traffic, water shortages, lack of sanitation, incessant flooding, inadequate housing, lack of open spaces......

All these are getting worse. So what problem have we solved?


I am not even sure what you are saying here. Relocating jobs means relocating people. Which means fewer people live in the city and its environs.


Clearly we havent.

In 1985, 5% of Kenyans lived in Nairobi. Today 10% of Kenyans live in Nairobi. The proportion of Kenyans living in Nairobi has doubled which means most people want to migrate to the city. Other towns are not much of an option

Compare this with New York for example. In 1985, New York had 3.2 % of the population of the USA. Today that proportion has reduced to 2.5%. Thats means they are doing a good job of promoting other cities.



I don't know if this is a serious question.
In any case if we want the country to progress then why should we compare ourselves with Uganda which is another sheet-hole?
This is like a parent reading their child's report form when the child was number 49 out of 50 and the parent responds by saying "At least you are not last"

New York doesn't even need to reduce their population. They don't have the problems of Nairobi vis a vis water shortages, endless traffic, seasonal flooding, inadequate housing, piles of uncollected garbage, lack of roads, insecurity, crime, joblessness, lack of sanitation etc etc.

In fact New York has enough infrastructure to expand further. And since the City follows a master plan, the expansion will be orderly.

Imagine if you tell a person that he is sick and needs to go see a Doctor. And he points to a healthy person and asks why that healthy person is not being told to see a Doctor. Nairobi is the sick person pointing at New York. And Nairobi will only get worse.

Nairobi is definitely going to grow population wise. As land becomes scarce huko mashinani, more youth will move to Nairobi because there are scarcely any other viable options. Which means in 10 years the problems you see will be much worse.

Kenya government needs to start being proactive. Sonko can't fix everything by himself. The problems of Nairobi were caused by corruption and incomptence in the national government. 50 years of corruption and incompetence has brought us here. Now the national government should take the lead in fixing it. Sonko can't decongest Nairobi by himself.

Arrested......

EACC says he was escaping arrest. Is it true he was on way to TZ?

Possibly....but he may claim he was taking himself back to Shimo La Tewa😀

If Sonko tried pulling this stunt in Rwanda, he would have been caned thoroughly by junior police offices(constables).Now the justice system headed by my buddy the CJ should work fast and conclude this case.
