  Nyali bridge Jam in Mombasa County can be avoided Everyday in the mornings and evening Nyali bridge in Mombasa County experiences a Jam stretching several kilometers.Most of the time vehicles can be held up to half an hour on one spot.This has happened to me several times.The worst Jam happens when coming from Bombolulu as you reach the traffic lights.This Jam when strategized can be avoided by the traffic police and reduce time taken at the bridge.The first place the vehicles going to Nyali and mkomani can be diverted is along the Nyali bridge just before the petrol station towards the left side.They can use the underground road and exit near the kongowea market.The vehicles going to mishomoroni and Bamburi can be diverted also before the petrol station but on the right hand.The Bamburi matatus will start their first stage after Nyali bridge at the beginning of kisauni Road.Vehicles going to Bombolulu and Mtwapa will be the only ones proceeding towards the traffic lights onwards.Thi

 Let Mombasa County pick low hanging fruits in tourism Kenya Secondary school Principals always have their yearly conference in Mombasa.This involves all Principals in Kenya.There are very many Principals who visit Mombasa County with friends and relatives and it is a high time Mombasa County made some changes.Let the town be made clean and sparkling.Let street lights from the area around Elephant tusks and​ up to Cannon towers in Moi avenue towards the port be installed with street lights.At night it is in darkness and this can attract insecurity.Many residents fear walking at night because of lack of street lights.With the coming visitors, who will come with their friends, let Mombasa County look beautiful and attractive.Mombasa County can sponsor traders who can sell curio shells,lessos,vitenge,bangles,wood carvings,coconut and it's products etc Apart from promoting the traders, the County can earn revenue.Let the beaches have mobile toilets as there are no toilets in the beache

  Dear Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua or Riggy G Thank you for the many things you are doing for Kenya and especially recently when you championed the removal of delocalization in teaching proffession.l will urge you to follow it up as some teachers have complained that they have not received transfer letters as the County directors are still dragging their feet.Let your directive be followed. The aim of this letter is to request you to rein on radios in the Country.Each radio station except religious ones, have paybills or they are running betting programs from morning to evening.You cannot open a radio station without being asked to send money so as to win this or that.After 3 minutes they remind listeners again to send between 50/- and 100/- to their paybills.lmagine recently people who applied for hustler fund and got 500/- and above,some spent their money on this betting on radio.Radio's have failed to give news,information,entertainment and education and they are capitaliz

  Let us take care of older people in our society On 14th December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly designated October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons (resolution 45/106). The New York commemoration of the United Nations International Day of Older Persons 2022 highlight was “The Resilience and Contributions of Older Women” in successfully navigating today's myriad of global challenges.In Kenya this day ended quietly.This was preceded by initiatives such as the Vienna lnternational Plan of Action on Ageing, which was adopted by the 1982 World Assembly on Ageing and endorsed later that year by the UN General Assembly. In 1991, the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Principles for Older Persons ( resolution 46/91).In 2002, the Second World Assembly on Ageing adopted the Madrid lnternational Plan of Action on Ageing​ to respond to the opportunities and challenges of population ageing in the 21st century and to promote the development of a society for all a

  Stop massage parlours in the streets of Nairobi It was a culture shock to see in the CBD of Nairobi message parlour operating openly. Just along river road opposite bus stations there are stands used by shoe shiners to shine shoes for clients.On the opposite of the shoe shine stand, other clients are seated and the are being massaged from feet to soles of the feet in the open.There is no running water.This was unbelievable and not ethical. Let Nairobi County and the new Governor ban such activities as they are not normal massages.The activities should be done in enclosed areas where there is running water.There are school going children who pass by or young people going to colleges or about their activities and seeing such activities,means painting a very bad picture in their minds.Let the shoe shine stands be used for cleaning shoes and repair only.

  WHERE ARE ELECTIONS CAMPAIGN FUNDS ON THE GROUND? The Election Campaign Financing Act, which also sought to ban contributions by foreign governments, was passed in 2013 with a rider that it would take effect in 2017.A Presidential candidate is allowed to spend up to a maximum of KES 5.2 billion ($44.3m), while governors, senators and female representatives get a limit of KES 433 million ($3.69m). By comparison, the monthly minimum wage in Kenya is KES 15,201 ($131).These funds can pay salaries for employees for many months. Kenya has 47 counties, implying that successful senators will spend a total of 1.8 billion shillings (US$18 million) to win their seats.To successfully run for the Woman Representative seat, an aspirant needs US$240,000 this year 4.8% higher than the US$228,000 that a successful candidate spent five years ago. Kenya’s parliament has 47 such representatives, implying total spending in excess of US$11 million by the successful candidates.An MP will require an averag
