Thanks to SK for this forum.
I am a Rongai resident and fellow residents will bear me witness that once you settle there you would hardly want to move to other places.
It is also a host to countryside lovers who want to get away from city life over the weekend judging from the amount of traffic on weekends.
I was proud the other weekend when KCB Rongai hosted Safari Rally flagging off but that was when I also realized how much you could be ashamed when the visitors are around. Rongai is in a state of neglect. From the stinking open drainage in town,to the narrow road,unplanned informal businesses,lack of proper sewer system,no street lights,etc..I don’t know who runs Rongai but there is no evidence of any local govt.
Am proposing that as residents we can form a Residents Association like the one formed by the Nairobi business district association so that we can facilitate and support the concerned authorities to foster a positive image of Rongai,raising the concerns of the residents to the relevant authorities e.g. the traffic management at Bomas in the morning,
Also lobby for funds for development of the town e.g. expansion of the roads,building of the markets etc.
Its time we take action and stop waiting for the govt . So if you are a member of Rongai and you are interested in the betterment of our town please post your comments,concerns,proposals and suggestion on how we can meet and start planning.
