Instead of spending all those billions trying to congest an already congested CBD,why not create another CBD somewhere else? Because,frankly,you expand Ngong rd,juja rd etc..then bring more people into the CBD -which you cant expand because it has reached its limits.Afew days later traffic starts building up already and we are back to square 1...What kind of planners do we have??nktiest!! Hope is not a strategy

those are areas that are well served by matatus for the better part of day and night. This will never work unless public transport is taken over by the government. I rarely see traffic jams in Nairobi on sundays, its the private cars that cause the jams, as of matatus - most areas around nairobi are well served, its just that watu wa pesa hawataki ku mix with the poor. imagine, if there were no private cars in the cbd and the matatus were allowed to ferry people around, moving from one end to the other would be easier for the hundred of thousands who throng the cbd searching for their daily ugali and ma-sukuma .

True,Apart from outering road which is worseon saturdays and sundays which I believe is due to the fact that the married men from the westside usually jam eastlands on saturdays to visit and pick their mipango wa kandos and return on sundays to drop them If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

24 hour economy can decongest the city, half the people work 8pm to 4am there will be no peak hours and no congestion. This can start in gov't offices. Life is short. Live passionately.

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

The hotels around Yukos must have made good money overnight.
