Eng. Luka Kipchumba Kimeli, DG @KeNHAKenya 🫡
I greet you today in the name of Lord Vishnu.
Not because I suspect you practice Hinduism, but because your fear for Lord Jesus is clearly at zero.
Probably because of Pastor Kanyari and his colleagues who’ve been using that name as a business name for so long you stopped taking it seriously.
But be assured Engineer, He is still very much operational.
I come to you most days NOT because I want your job.
I come because I genuinely believe your employment letter has my name written all over it.
Now look at this image.
That mountain of sand.
Sitting. In the MIDDLE of Waiyaki Way.
Opposite Njuguna’s place.
On one of the busiest highways in East Africa.
Just sitting there for days.
No warning signs.
No barriers. No apology. Just sand.
Proud sand. Unbothered sand.
Engineer, I know your children are abroad. Safe. Warm.
Probably in a country where a civil servant would lose sleep and their job if they left a sand mountain on a highway overnight.
But Wafula from Kangemi?
His children are squeezed in a single room in Kangemi.
They have nowhere to go.
But they want to see him come home.
Not in a casket.
Kamau from Kinoo?
Yes he drinks.
Yes he’s occasionally useless to his family on weekends.
But even his family who have every reason to complain would still rather hear his noise every evening than attend his funeral because a contractor left unmarked sand on Waiyaki Way at night.
This is conduct unbecoming Engineer.
Your equivalent abroad where your children live loses sleep over things like this.
You? You’re sleeping like a man with zero outstanding items.
You and I must agree on one thing today.
Let us hate mediocrity together.
Let us set a bare minimum, you from UoN, me from Kingeero Polytechnic and agree that mountains of sand on highways with zero warnings is below that minimum.
This has to be cleared today.
Not tomorrow. Today!
Your favorite villager. Still watching. Always watching. 👀
If you walk around angry… pissed off, thinking your life sucks…
It costs you nothing to be kind. Nothing.
If only you knew how this kindness… overtime…changes everything.
Choose kindness over anger.
Power to Goons…
