Can a normal, healthy Kenyan really live to see their grandchildren if they wake up every morning to news of accidents, murders, floods, fires, successful robberies and other evils? No. I don’t think so. Gikomba , #DualeCartels, #UhuruCrackTheWhip

More robbery at Ngara footbridge&globe cinema roundabout,
Who will buy the goods& services in the Nairobi CBD if your main aim is to decongest it?
Terrible times to be a hardworking and tax paying Kenyan citizen.
Remember Nairobi city is the economic hub of East&Central Africa!!!
