Jogoo private cars should be parked at city stadium,Mombasa road,diaspora and langata road cars should be parked at Nyayo stadium, Kinoo,uthiru should be parked at westlands,Thika road cars should be parked at Pangani. It doesn't make sense for majority of Nairobians who drive shoebaru and footsubishi to be made to walk just because of a few middle crass driving their old Nze's into town. since middle class wa nairobi will be hardest done, why don't you nairobians ban parking in the cbd, and let that parking space be used to expand the roads (ama ipewe hawkers), so the cbd becomes just a ka transit area. huku ocha cars are not parked on the roadside -

Or enforce strict car pooling rules. During morning (7ma to 9am) and evening (5pm to 7pm) commute, minimum 3 pax per car...any less and you pay spot fine of 2k, enough to hurt. See how guys comply. Ill be planning with neighbors chap chap. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Hio itakuwa ngumu boss...... Lang'ata going to Thika? Eastern bypass. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Is on-street parking right outside your office/premises really necessary? How do other cities handle this? Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Do you think all Private vehicles want to come into the CBD? If they were provided with proper alternatives that would work, Car pooling cannot work currently unless you have the usual stone age 9-5 workplaces ,and for you to car pool you need to trust whoever you are ferrying or whoever is ferrying you, Get workable solutions instead of thinking of how to encourage corruption.

Most places it's 8-5. And it's set in stone. It was a creative solution that is not working. Surely you cannot just accuse Kenyans of not learning to think of creative solutions.
