I am planning to visit AIC Kijabe Hospital later this week. Anyone who's been there recently?

What is the condition of the road?

The last time I went there is over 5 years ago and the stretch from the turn-off on the Nakuru Highway down the escarpment was in a very bad state.

Was there last year and it was still the same and now it should be worse with the rains

I went there yesterday. It took me about 30min from Westlands to the turn-off at Kinale forest. Then another 20min to go down the 5km stretch to the hospital.... Potholes all over the road. You'd think with such an important institution located there, some one would think of maintaining that road...

BTW: is it true that there are no bars/pubs in Kijabe town and that shops do not sell cigarettes?

You will find the same scenario at Tenwek Mission Hospital. No bars/pubs at the nearest trading centre. Locals not allowed to operate beer/cigarette business ventures. smile
