The traffic on Langata road in the evening has cleared, the same for the Bomas one in the morning. But from Bomas to Rongai in the evening is simply crazy.
My layman's take is that the bottlenecks at Masai lodge, tumaini, tuskys and Kware are the main culprits.
To whom can we direct our queries for a quick fix as we wait for the planned dualling of Magadi road ?
And who are those top cats who overlap in GK prados with a landrover escort everyday ? I would want to do an e-mail and ask them to use their offices to get us a permanent solution. Thanks for the update @FRM.I observed the same bottlenecks when i frequented the place earlier in the yr.i have interests there and i would also like to see at least those bottlenecks taken care of.Maybe we can lobby from the Governor's office,then senators(one of them is my neighbor) and hear what they say because this are easier solutions that can be a first step to reduce the traffic nightmare.am not in the country but i will support you to make the first move. The biggest problem stems from the Tuskys stage at Rongai...with almost every mat doing a U turn to head back to town and the space there is being non existent the chaos makes the situation worse... possunt quia posse videntur

Finally, great news for rongai residents. Someone has finally decided to do away with the tuskys stage and just like that, the traffic mess in the evening has cleared. From one hour to twenty minutes. To whoever made that brilliant decision, may God add you 20 more years.

Rongai also has the unofficial tag of the "dirtiest town in Kenya". The place stinks and is an eyesore. The market along the road from Tusky's stage to Kware Stage dumps stuff on the open drainage channel and when it roots its a nightmare to drive along that stretch.

Finally, magadi road dualling to start in Jan 2015. Now, we can only hope this will not open another floodgate of new migrants to rongai.

Your excitement tells the painful tale of Rongai people's republic. Hope this project will change it all. Whenever a gava says something will start in Jan 2015, please add two years to the date. Before procurement iishe, wengine awaende kortini, wagawane kickbacks, contractor aanze, it will be another two years. Just ask Upperhill people, or those who thought Ngong road will be dualled 'next year' Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgement...

Your skepticism is understandable, as we have suffered under the old order. But this Annuity model is a new strategy that is completely different, esp the funding part. So I really dont see why any contractor should delay and yet cash will be in plenty... TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
