What you need to know:

  • The Nairobi Expressway project is a great opportunity to incorporate elevated roads to connect multi-storey bus terminuses.

Political rejects • The trouble with Kenyan politicians, Chris Kiriba notes, is that they “never learn when to hold and when to fold their political cards”. He adds: “They will tell us that or that man should succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta, and among them are those who lost in the last elections. Some of them should by now know that their political shelf-life has expired.” His contact is [email protected].

Covid vaccine • China’s Covid-19 vaccine rollout plan has caught Robert Mukirae’s eye because the carrier contracted is Ethiopian Airlines. Says he: “It has logged hundreds of hours distributing Chinese PPEs to the Middle East, Europe and Africa. There was a time when Ethiopian Airlines considered Kenya Airways a formidable rival. When did the rain start beating us?” His contact is [email protected].

Nairobi Expressway • One of the most remarkable feats in Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, and even India and Colombia, is the massive state-of-the-art interstate and intercity bus terminuses that rival airports in quality, remarks Charles Jowi. “The Nairobi Expressway project is a great opportunity to incorporate elevated roads to connect multi-storey bus terminuses. It’s possible!” His contact is [email protected].

Roundabouts • Kenya Urban Roads Authority is not doing well in supervising the construction of roads in Nairobi’s Industrial Area, says Christine Ng’ang’a. “The roundabout adjacent to Kampala Road is way, way too big and so is the one on Enterprise Road near Tetra Pak Ltd. Two cars can hardly pass side by side, which inevitably causes jams. Can the roundabouts be reduced?” Her contact is [email protected].

2022 elections • While other countries are dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, encouraging the development of vaccines, Paul Maina is upset that Kenya leaders are busy with the 2022 elections. “Can you imagine we can’t agree even on basic things as we prefer confrontational politics? Leaders must realise it’s high time they lowered their high egos to help reach a consensus?” His contact is [email protected].   

Have a crucial day, won’t you!
