@FaithOdhiambo8 If only the speed fines would be revisited similarly, and push instead for road signage, standardised road infrastructure including humps, lights, markings et al

@mungaikihanya @PrettyCitiesX @DonaldBKipkorir We can start with basic cleanliness, and tree planting, the scaremongering of 1.5m displacements is the handicap the politicians cling on to keep us in the mire of their incompetence

@moneyacademyKE I suppose foreigners would have to register with e citizen first?

[Patrick Gatembo @pgatembo]

@moneyacademyKE Did we also launch a continental passport a while ago....laughable..

[Zenzele @zenzele]

Why not simply mention that the tourists were in Cape Verde? Africa is not a country, it's a continent!

@asunza @SakajaJohnson @motoristsoffice @Ma3Route @ntsa_kenya @Matatu_Culture We need a rethink on the size of our road kerbs our lack of discipline (matatus, ride share and bodas) and blasé city management demands this,

[Patrick Gatembo @pgatembo]

@moneyacademyKE With the assembly being local, shouldn't the prices get lower than the current offing?

[Patrick Gatembo @pgatembo]

@Kenyans Because they've excelled so far in curbing illegal turns, obstruction, and driving on the wrong side of the road, stellar performance on road marking and lighting as well... 🚮

Tokyo, the most populous city in the world at 37m people has 311 parks & gardens, New York City at 8m has 1700 parks & playgrounds.
Nairobi, 4m residents has only 5 parks.
Purple blob wants to lie that NBO is growing so fast they need to eat the park!
They believe we are fools.

Last night, at a friend’s house party, I bumped into many old friends, prominent businessmen and women, lawyers, and other professionals some of whom I’ve known for years and others I got to know over the course of the evening.

One of the main topics of conversation across the various groups was just how far we’ve regressed as a nation and more so as a city. We found ourselves reminiscing about the old days, from the 80s and 90s to the early 2000s and reflecting on how Nairobi, and Kenya in general, once had a real sense of progress and pride.

We spoke about how we had proper restaurants, bars, and clubs and how the city in many ways felt ahead of its time. Looking back now, it genuinely felt as though we were living in the future. But today, it all feels like a distant dream because none of that remains. It’s only now, having lost it all, that we truly appreciate just how special those times were.

I met several businessmen and women who have since moved on into other ventures like real estate and other investments simply because they said the business environment has deteriorated so badly over the years that it’s no longer worth the stress or the headache, whilst others downsized totally.

What struck me the most was how deeply people still love this country and how painful it is for them to witness the sheer decline.

This morning, I woke up still reflecting on those conversations and decided to take a drive through the city centre. The photos I took tell the story all too well, from Kenyatta Avenue to Westlands, there’s garbage everywhere, open manholes, appalling road conditions and drains filled with stagnant water and filth.

Yet that little boy TakaTaka1 keeps gaslighting us with his childish theatrics and nonsense on social media, claiming that “Nairobi is working.”

It’s absolutely shameful how low we’ve sunk.

The city is in complete disarray, a total mess.

@moneyacademyKE So, is the invoicing system shelved or dead and buried?

[Zak E @whoizzak]

@adrianblomfield I have a challenge for @rebecca_miano and @honkabogo give them a phone and a credit card and 30 minutes to apply for an ETA and get NNP tickets for tomorrow without any help 🤣
