H.E. @WilliamsRuto: I would like to re-introduce you to your capital city, Nairobi: the city of chaos, anarchy, death and environmental destruction.
You have presented yourself on the national, continental and global stage as a visionary leader in matters climate change and environmental protection. In fact, you have instructed Kenyans to plant 15 billion trees by 2032, while the trees that made Nairobi the Green City in the Sun are being felled in their thousands. The irony is that your capital city is the home to the @UNEP and @UNHABITAT global headquarters.
I would like to request that you declare an immediate moratorium on all construction - planned and ongoing - in Nairobi County, pending a Commission of Inquiry.
Workers are dying. Children are sick. Respiratory and water borne illnesses are on the rise. Residents are suffocating and living in darkness. Residents are dying in fires and collapsed buildings. Noise is unbearable. Temperatures are rising. Sewage is bubbling and entire neighbourhoods stink. Water is contaminated. Residences are flooding. Rivers and streams are being reclassified/diverted/polluted. Roads are impassable and traffic is unmanageable. Nairobi is sinking - literally. Kenyans are losing their homes and hard earned investments. Surely, you have heard the clamour and observed the carnage.
There is a plan for Nairobi. It is called the NIUPLAN (2014-2030). Your Governor @SakajaJohnson and previous Governors since the onset of devolution have ignored it. In fact, the Nairobi County Assembly is today going to try to finalise a wholly illegal process of the reclassification/re-zoning of Nairobi - courtesy of the now disbanded NMS - without having completed public participation, which is constitutionally enshrined in Article 10.
You have many Planners, Architects, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Lawyers, Environmentalists and Geophysicists who haven't been corrupted by the bribes that construction cartels offer in huge sums. They are your resource.
Most importantly, you have all of us. The residents of Nairobi to whom you owe service and care.
You should not be the President who sacrificed his citizens on the altar of crooked, foreign "investors" in order to attract bi-lateral loans and other trinkets. You should not be the President who rubbishes and ignores our complaints because your "big people" and politicians have a vested interest in the illegal construction ongoing in Nairobi.
As you said in a recent speech, you do not want Kenya to go down on your watch. Please stand up and be counted. Thank you.

I just signed an urgent petition telling the Kenya government to reinstate the logging ban to protect Kenya's forests. Will you add your name? https://t.co/JkoayDqcRd
@Safaricom_Care@Safaricom_Care I took the action proposed but no response. The promo messages from VIVO_WOMAN still continue yet I've blocked them. This is corruption by definition.
@Safaricom_Care Receiving annoying marketing messages from VIVO_WOMAN despite not having subscribed and even blocking them using *456*9*5# route. My complaint ref ticket 1-64ZUTHJ2 not resolved. PLEASE HELP.
@Safaricom_Care Thanks for the response. I have actioned accordingly. Just concerned about how I got into a database of a shop I've never stepped into. Also, is your STOP service not working?
@StandardKenya Really sad state of affairs. Seems our pilots are ready to bite the hand that feeds them. Too many peoples livelihoods, including theirs depends on KQ recovery. Is there really no way of having a mature conversation on these nebulous demands? Shame on them.
@citizentvkenya This accident involved bulk LPG, not cylinders from viral video below. Ignorance is deadly. These 'operators' working as if handling potatoes
We are excited to announce that our 'Look out! #TuvukeSalama campaign in partnership with @ntsa_kenya has officially been launched in Mombasa today! The speeches given during the launch emphasised on the importance of this timely campaign.
