These were unprecedented levels of impunity. This should not just end at demolitions. The officers involved in approving these buildings should be made accountable.
The multi-agency team today continued operations along Ndovu Lane, Parklands, following the issuance of notices to clear buildings constructed on top of the river channel. The exercise is part of ongoing river restoration efforts.

MAJOR BREAKING: Millionaire tycoon Wicknell Chivayo has died after a helicopter crash in Marondera. His wife Lucy Muteke among the 6 victims. There were no survivors.
A police statement said: “The ZRP confirms a plane crash in Marondera Rural area at 1700 hours. The aircraft had 6 occupants.”
This is now a story from the past.
Yes. I have to go through Tanzania to get to my home in Taveta.

Comparing the Taita Taveta and Kajiado sections of the road back in 2018.
I have tweeted (x'ed) about this road for a long time. This was back in 2021.
Construction work on this road are at an advanced stage. Planned to be completed by March 2027.
Ahsante sana Dr. @WilliamsRuto for keeping the promise.
There are bad roads in Kenya and then there is this one. The Oloitoktok - Njukini - Taveta Road.
This Bosnia section in Challa is the worst. A long sticky and slippery section that currently has over 10 trucks stuck for days.
CS @KipMurkomen, please keep this promise.

The SGR 3PM passenger train from Nairobi to Mombasa has a problem that we are not being told about. We should be past Voi now but we haven't even reached Mtito Andei. There's a chance we will sleep in the forest. @KenyaRailways_, please come clean and talk to us.

Banks can now be held liable if they fail to protect money mistakenly sent to the wrong account after being notified.
The decision comes after the High Court ruled that lenders must take reasonable steps to safeguard disputed funds and help customers recover them.

Many modern homes with a "flat roof" don't actually have a concrete roof slab. Our latest article explores the hidden flat roof, a smart solution that combines contemporary aesthetics with better drainage, lower costs, and easier maintenance.

As the First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels begins in Santa Marta, Colombia African stakeholders, including civil society and leaders, have underscored the urgent need for a just, inclusive, and well-financed transition.
Speaking at a media briefing, they called for a framework that reflects the continent’s priorities and realities, including limited energy access, rising public debt, and intensifying climate impacts.
They highlighted the critical role of international cooperation, including through a Fossil Fuel Treaty, in delivering the finance, technical support, and debt relief measures needed for an equitable global transition.
They urged African countries to engage meaningfully in the conference to ensure the continent’s priorities are well articulated and shape outcomes that advance a resilient and sustainable energy future.
By the way, this has already been developed. I was pleasantly surprised when I passed by Kamukunji Grounds the other day and saw it already up @Disembe

Way to go @ntsa_kenya. Although, in my defence, it was my dad on the wheel 😄.
This instant fine management system was set up (and tested) a while back. I wonder why it has taken that long to go live. I am sure there are many unhappy folks out there who have been denied the benefit of dealing with the errant Kenyan drivers.
It looks like someone has encroached on the road reserve in Rongai.
The Magadi Road (B19) stretch beginning at Bomas of Kenya is a critical 20-kilometre transport corridor linking Nairobi to Ongata Rongai and Kiserian.
As fast-growing urban centres within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area, Rongai and Kiserian play an increasingly vital role in housing, commerce and daily commuter movement into the Capital.
The upgrading of this corridor is a strategic metropolitan intervention with far-reaching socio-economic impact, with the Kenya National Highways Authority (@KeNHAKenya) spearheading major dualling and expansion works to ease chronic congestion, improve mobility and road safety and unlock the region's development potential.
The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration continues to play a facilitative role in the project's execution by coordinating National Government Administration Officers (NGAOs) on the ground, supporting public engagement, ensuring security of worksites and fostering harmony between contractors and host communities.

This is an urban (and even rural) planning issue.
In an ideal society, there should be a school, supermarket, clinic, church, a bus stop, and a safe public park among other basic amenities within walking distance from people's homes.
This will even deal with traffic congestion.
