🤒 Think it’s malaria? Think again!
Fever, headache & body aches can have different causes, including Ebola. Don’t self-diagnose. Seek medical care early and report any suspected exposure to health authorities..
At @LoDDCA, we steer towards a healthier journey.

Machakos junction off A109 is long forgotten and the cause of major traffic jams. There's heavy traffic entering and exiting.On Saturday, we took 1 hour to get to Sultan @KeNHAKenya @RSF_2020 @loddca

[ROAD SAFETY FACTS 🇰🇪 @RSF_2020]

The highlighted the issue at Machakos junction a while back.

Thie festive season will have people spending the night there.

The traffic police can easily control the situation by ensuring that motorists do not overlap.
KENHA also need to create a bypass / overpass to manage traffic on that section.

@loddca @SingoeiAKorir @ForeignOfficeKE Kenyan government has really failed Kenyan investors and drivers. How on earth is this happening. It's high time we say no to congo cargos. We should boycott Congo coz no one is helping us. Watu from congo wakujie mizigo yao Mombasa

At LoDDCA, we are taking the initiative. Our drivers and cross-border networks can support community surveillance, contact tracing and public health sensitisation. We are already on the ground. Give us the guidance, basic resources and support to make it happen. #TeamLoDDCA

LoDDCA led by our Chair, Elijah Mwangi, took the engagement at Ndogo Kundu in Mombasa, where they engaged drivers on health, safety and welfare, the need for proper sanitation. As we raise awareness about emerging threats of Ebola.

@loddca @Kenya_Ports The only thing good at @Kenya_Ports is taking picture. The inefficiency is stupid , don't forget degree holders are the majority.

🚨 INEFFICIENCY AT THE PORT OF MOMBASA

Something urgently needs to be done. Delays at the port are causing serious congestion, extortion, prolonged truck waiting times and increasing risks to safety.

@Kenya_Ports and port stakeholders must act urgently to improve efficiency.
