Lakini, I have a serious question. Is it that these leaders are this dumb or am I missing something here? Like seriously, just how stupid does someone have to be to make a move like this? Did he realize that pregnant women, disabled, the elderly and children will have to make the treks to town and back? Does he expect a young lady to walk all the way from town to Ngara past that dangerous globe roundabout at 8pm if she leaves work late? I mean, we all make booboos every now and then in life but this idiot is making some serious mistakes. We know he is dumb, but couldn’t he at least seek a second opinion from the very citizens this is affecting? For the first time in my life, I longed for Kidero today and that by itself says a lot. But then again, I want to be brutally honest here. Most of the people walking are the same ones who voted for Sonko. It was a case of people with collective IQs lower than that of a rock voting for a governor with an IQ slightly north of a mop’s. Am tempted to say serves them right but then I feel bad for the many innocent people who can’t catch a break from this really bad hand they’ve been dealt by life and exceberated by idiot politicians. I still don’t understand how this Sonko guy is governor of Nairobi. I really think we should have some sort of basic intelligence test for people to be allowed to vote. Sounds ludicrous but it really isn’t that bad an idea.
Lolest!

Uhunye will make a populist directive soon and we will be back to sq one.

No, very likely Sonko has a solution

Expect words like 'consortium', 'experts', 'consultants', PPP arrangement

This was the scene at Central Bus Station. Citihoppa/KBS have to squeeze here. No more Kencom/Ambassador terminus.

Matatus going into CBD is not the issue, the issue is the matatus parking or waiting in town, ie the jam along Ronald Ngala of githurai buses already dropped passengers but waiting untill they are full again to leave the stage, look at no 9 or 6 buses they line up blowing black smoke waiting to board passengers, during the day it takes about 25 minutes for each to fill up mean while the rest are waiting in line, see kencom also.
For Mombasa buses and upcountry they arrive inthe morning park in the cbd all day to leave at night, Accra road is full of empty parked matatus waiting .
Another issue is parking on yellow lines at junctions, instead of solving this issues we ban matatus but lower parking fee for private cars.

Excellent! The number one cause of traffic on Moi Avenue etc

In Aug, only 2 mats per route were allowed in town with no parking did they comply? They were also asked to self regulate...how good did were they at that?

This is dumb populist policy aimed at earning some fake points with mwananchi in the name of appearing to be working. Any smart urban planner knows that public transit is the solution to traffic. Private cars carrying one passenger each are the problem. No way this sticks for anything more than a few days.

The High Court on Monday declined to suspend an order barring matatus from accessing Nairobi CBD.

Justice Pauline Nyamweya directed the parties to file and serve their petitions to the respondents.

Both cases, one filed by Nairobi senator Johnson Sakaja and the other by matatu saccos will be heard on Thursday this week.

Kesho will be tougher than today. Many didn't think it was serious so still took matatus & buses.

Nairobi wasn't decongested. Congestion was only transferred to Haile Selassie, Jogoo, Parklands & Murang'a roads!

Just watched in the 7pm news how messy Fig Tree was.

Even the sycophants need to acknowledge there is a problem. Big problem

Anyway, I'm reminded tomorrow Parliament is passing their new perks..

Demokrasia hoiyee!!!
