The KDF’s swift delivery of the Wajir Stadium, ahead of Madaraka Day, raises a broader policy question: should we expand their role in public infrastructure like schools, hospitals and dams, where delays and inflated costs are the norm?
@AyubAbdikadir shows the transformation!
Wajir Stadium.
Before & After.
The buzz, business, excitement, hope in Wajir ahead of the Madaraka Day celebrations is palpable.
Locals are doing booming business. All hotels fully booked. Brand new 10K seater stadium. Tarmac roads.
Thank you President @WilliamsRuto
🚨 BREAKING: Dadaab-Garissa Road DEVASTATED, washed away by raging Laga seasonal river! Pregnant women, mothers clutching babies & toddlers, disabled elders FORCED to trek KILOMETERS on foot in the mud. This is a HUMANITARIAN CRISIS unfolding NOW in Kenya’s northeast.
Why the HELL is this vital lifeline STILL a untarmacked death-trap since INDEPENDENCE in 1963? 60+ YEARS of broken promises, while MPs jet-set in AC! @FarahMaalimMP your “leadership” is a JOKE. Get SERIOUS: TARMAC THIS ROAD YESTERDAY or RESIGN! Where’s the accountability?
300K+ refugees & locals deserve BETTER. Demand action NOW #FixDadaabRoad #KenyaFloods
In the heart of Wajir West, where the dreams of our children should soar, a gut-wrenching tragedy unfolds. Athibohol Primary and Hadado schools, sacred havens where thousands of innocent Kenyan children chase hope, are being devoured by relentless sand dunes. As the clock ticks to 05:52 PM EAT on July 31, 2025, these young souls, our nation's future, are stripped of their right to learn, their classrooms crumbling into dust, their aspirations suffocated by neglect. This is not merely a loss of buildings; it is a heartrending betrayal of our children’s dreams, a wound on Kenya’s soul. Weep with us, for every grain of sand that buries these schools is a tear shed by our children, a cry for help ignored. Kenya, rise before the desert claims another generation’s hope.
