Again 50kph on redhill is absolutely impossible.The first signpost on 50kph is near the bridge& nothing after so I wonder if the whole stretch should be 50?
Also realized I am putting myself at risk of being hit by other cars
Lastly disband NTSA nobody knows what they’re doing
🧵NTSA's instant fines system is live. Speed cameras on most corridors. Fines hitting phones via SMS. Sh3,000–Sh10,000 per offence. 7 days to pay or interest accrues & you're locked off NTSA platforms.
Let's talk about why this is less about road safety & more about revenue.
But, do this when you've addressed all teething issues first. Make sure compliance is for everybody. It is disingenuous to focus on private vehicle motorists when matatus and bodabodas make a mockery of every traffic regulation out there.
Hii mambo sijui kama tutawezana nayo. It’s going to be very expensive to drive your car.
The speed limits are ridiculous, no proper signage, poor roads etc. This is a plot to extort Kenyans.
Yesterday I learned that the Redhill Link road is a bad accident waiting to happen with that 50kph limit.
I was on the left lane going 50 while everyone is zooming past me. After going up one of those crests, the elevation changed like it usually does on the road and the next thing I see is a garbage truck flashing lights at me to move cause the other lane had a TukTuk.
I had to go past 50 or risk getting plowed.
Now how is that 50 protecting anyone?
White people in Ireland are conducting pogroms and going house to house pulling people of color out of their homes. There are videos of CHILDREN running for their lives. My God help us.
Decades of growth destroyed in minutes. Giant lobelias, some of the rarest alpine plants are being damaged. This is heartbreaking for Kenya’s natural heritage.
@KWSKenya @Kenya_Forestry please step in.
The destruction of giant lobelias is unacceptable.
A year ago today, Mwalimu Albert Ojwang' was brutally murdered inside a police station in Nairobi.
He was killed for publishing posts on X claiming that Police Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat receives Ksh 100 million monthly in bribes from 12 Nairobi commanders.
Sections of Uhuru Park will be hived off to "expand Uhuru Highway".
Parts of Karura Forest will be hived off "to plant tree seedlings and build rangers' accommodation units".
Parts of Nairobi National Park will be hived off "to construct parking yards for the new Bomas International Convention Centre".
Sections of Ngong Forest are being cut down for "the construction of the Ngong-Riruta rail line and an international resort and casino".
Practically every green and gazetted area within the Nairobi Metropolitan area is being targeted.
And this is place where scrutiny is highest.
Can you imagine what is happening in gazetted areas in the Rift Valley.
When pastoralists are in power, every green space is either pasture for "wega ngombe wagule yiote" or merely something to degazette, cut down and build some ugly concrete structure.
Scarcity mentality at birth.
The US still plans to open an Ebola unit in Kenya, despite a High Court block. In @medpagetoday I explain why that's dangerous & unlawful. My video shows why this is a disaster

Yesterday in Parliament, the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Aden Duale, failed to assure the country that the government’s decision‑making on the Ebola question is within the law and fully under control. The Constitution demands both legality and respect for court orders and public participation.
Listening to him, the message is clear, the court will have its say but the executive will enforce their way.
When a High Court has already issued conservatory orders suspending an Ebola‑related facility, any suggestion that the Executive can press on regardless converts being within the law into a slogan to justify disobedience. Constitutional obedience is not optional and it is not subject to administrative convenience.
Kenyans are entitled to clear, honest answers. Who authorised these arrangements, on what legal basis and with what safeguards for public health and sovereignty? Dismissing concerns as mere alarm while sidestepping these questions undermines public trust in both the Ministry of Health and Parliament’s oversight role.
The right to health under Article 43 must be read together with Articles 10, 94, 95 and 165 on constitutionalism, public participation and the authority of the courts. You cannot promote public health by eroding the very legal framework that protects Kenyans from arbitrary executive action.
CS Duale: Ndindi Nyoro, I think you are very unfair. If all counties refused to host isolation centres the way you are suggesting, where would Kenyans who would be infected, God-forbid, go?
