@KTNNewsKE There's no way the BMW that crashed along Raila Odinga/ Mbagathi Way was going from Nairobi West to Hurlingham. It must've been going downhill

DNA testing on the bodies of three people who died in the Mbagathi Road crash is set to be conducted tomorrow to confirm their identities. Meanwhile, close friends have identified the occupants of the BMW that crashed and burst into flames, sharing details of their final moments together. @thejesserogers #Checkpoint

@dannmchoraji @X_trathoughtful @ShikoNguru @Mwirigi @kentexcargo So ~6 years on, and after a huge price hike by Kentex Cargo, I'm now back to @SavoStore who I've seen have a way superior website in terms of intuitiveness and ease of navigation

@dannmchoraji @X_trathoughtful @ShikoNguru @Mwirigi @kentexcargo Used KenTex Cargo with no hitch for a long time then this year happened. However, I'm ready to give them another try with this price hike by Savo store

@mojaexpressway @KResearcher Thanks for your response. You need to increase this to 110km/h for the sections between Mlolongo & Capital Center. These are way more motorable than the Thika Road sections where the limit is 110km/h

@Vik_SM @KResearcher The recommended speed limit on the Nairobi Expressway is 80 km/h.

This speed camera thing is just a mess if not hilarious. So you have 4 groups driving on the same road. First group thinks they are in a 50KM section,so they are slow. The 2nd group thinks its a 80KM section, fast but cautious at 60-70KMs, then another group thinks its a 110KM section, eyes fixed on speedometers. The 4th group does not care, they are flying. The first three are driving but half the time their eyes are on their speedometers. All these drivers are driving on the same road and its a mess.

@dru_Josef @KResearcher Typo :-)

@Vik_SM @KResearcher The cats had me re-reading a couple times

@MacBotongore @ntsa_kenya Nairobi Expressway's 80km/h limit makes no sense. Global limits (km/h): • UAE 160 • Poland, Saudi 140 • Germany unlimited • Most EU, Russia 130 • USA 105–137 • UK 113 • Australia 100–130 • Canada 100–110 • China, Japan 100–120 • SA, Thailand 120

@ntsa_kenya#niko na kiulizo: 80kmh for Expressway surely? What’s express about this after paying toll charge of +500 from Mlolongo to James Gichuru? Please revise the for this sector!!!

@Kabogo_Henry This govt mixes up good intentions with illegal and often retarded measures. 2 examples: - 80kph speed limit on the Expressway. It's already causing snarl ups - automated fines = NTSA acting as judge & jury. There must be an intermediate legal process

The court stopping NTSA’s smart driving licence and automated fines system should make us ask a bigger question… Is Kenya really chasing road safety, or are we rushing to automate punishment? You cannot copy Germany’s cameras and forget Germany’s engineering. You cannot copy developed countries’ fines and ignore the decades they spent building safer roads, pedestrian systems, markings, intelligent highways and driver culture. Even today, pedestrians on Thika Road and our bypasses still gamble with death crossing highways because basic footbridges and safe crossing points are missing. But somehow, the fastest infrastructure we can complete is the one that sends a fine to your phone. A camera does not save the pedestrian who has nowhere safe to cross. A smart licence does not fix a poorly designed road. A digital fine does not replace investment in safety. Kenyans are not against technology. Kenyans are not against discipline. But technology without fairness feels like taxation with a different name. Countries we admire built the foundation first — then automated enforcement. We seem to be automating enforcement while still struggling with the foundation. Road safety should start by protecting lives… Not perfecting how to collect money from them.

@Cryptoaddict047 @Engblackout @baroswahjr Driver B changed lanes aggressively to block driver A from overtaking, causing driver A (who was speeding) to crash into the concrete pillar. - Driver A is probably dead - Driver B should be arrested and charged for reckless driving

@Engblackout @baroswahjr I'm wondering why he decided to change the lane yet the other driver yielded and gave him the way.

Terrible accident outside Ole Sereni💔

@iam_kimathi1 @baroswahjr @mojaexpressway @ntsa_kenya 80kph speed limit on an expressway is retarded.

@baroswahjr @mojaexpressway .... Why can't you guys enforce the 80kph maximum speed limit on Nairobi Expressway????? @ntsa_kenya

@ahmadsalims Controversial take: I don't think our level of civilization allows for such an ambitious project.

Fam! Nairobi river is possible. Look at this fam.

@Menezschuur @NicKanali Nduthi guy ako zile za "nigonge uone"; he's assuming the universe revolves around him

@NicKanali Nduthi guy did not flinch!

Had quite a really long day yesterday. Boda riders are not normal people. Part of the traffic on Southern Bypass yesterday was caused by us. (Between the Karen interchange and the virtual weighbridge) Also, this is a good reminder to invest in a dashcam. Glad we're safe.

@syghmo @onjolo_kenya As much as many deny it, we do have a an IQ problem in our societies as exemplified by our behavior on the roads and in public affairs. The reasons might be diverse and these can be looked into but the problem cannot be wished away

Today near Dedan Kimathi University in Nyeri .13 dead on the spot. Not even taken to hospital ,straight to the morgue. And this is almost a normal day. People move on, the news cycle moves on, and nothing really changes. Attempts have been made before. Murkomen tried to introduce cameras in public transport and it was rejected. NTSA tried to introduce instant fines through highway cameras, and people said it was better for that money to go to police on the road instead of instant fines that were reportedly going into a private account ,even though the camera system would actually have enforced the rules. Personally, I would choose the lesser evil if it meant enforcement actually happens. But the problem is bigger than fines and cameras. The problem is structural. Public transport in Kenya wasn’t privatized in one decision , it faded into private hands over time. In the 1960s and 70s, services were mainly run by government linked bus companies and Kenya Railways. Then in 1973, matatus were legalized, opening the door for private operators. By the 1980s, public systems were collapsing due to poor management and inefficiency, while matatus thrived because they were faster and more flexible. In the 1990s, economic reforms accelerated the government’s withdrawal, and by the mid 90s matatus dominated. Kenya didn’t privatize public transport through a plan ,the government stepped back and the private sector filled the gap. Maybe the conversation we should be having now is whether public transport is too important to be left entirely to the private sector. Because what we have now is not just a transport system its a business of death !

@Safaricom_Care But why make it harder for customers to give you money? Instead of the simple 2 steps to renew in the app, I now have to get the account no., note it somewhere then follow a longer error-prone process. What's the business model here?

@Vik_SM Hi Vik_SM, sorry about that. Kindly use M-PESA paybill number 150501, then your account number and follow the prompts to make payment. ^MS

@Safaricom_Care I'm unable to renew my Home Fiber subscription. Tried using the Apps, USSD to no avail.

@_vee_k Her side of the story was already heard and it is what got the Bolt driver almost killed

Maajabu hamjasema you want to hear her side of the story 😂😂😂. Ama ni venye she is a woman ? Hakuna hata mtu mmoja amecomment "Huwezi itwa mwizi hivo Tu !" Yet when it's VAWG, most of y'all want to hear the other side. Langu ni jicho.

@TheVixhal I've scrolled to see if anyone fact-checked this: 12,451 × 18,637 ≠ 232,048,387, it is actually 232,049,287 Dunno how, if at all, this affects the rest of the narrative

Prime numbers are the reason your credit card is safe. When you buy something online, your payment information is encrypted using a system called RSA encryption, and its entire security rests on one simple mathematical fact: Multiplying two large prime numbers together is easy. However, reversing the process and figuring out which two primes were multiplied is effectively impossible. For example, it's trivial for a computer to compute: 12,451 × 18,637 = 232,048,387 But going the other way is much harder. If I hand you 232,048,387 and ask you to find its prime factors without telling you where to start, it becomes a genuinely hard problem. Now scale those primes up to numbers with hundreds of digits, which is what RSA actually uses, and even the fastest computers on Earth would take longer than the age of the universe to crack it by brute force. What makes this philosophically strange is that RSA encryption is built on a problem mathematicians haven't proven is actually hard. We believe factoring large numbers is fundamentally difficult. But nobody has ever proved that no shortcut exists. It is possible, however unlikely, that someone could discover a clever algorithm tomorrow that breaks all encryption instantly, exposing every bank account, every private message, and every government secret simultaneously. This is one of the greatest unsolved problems in mathematics, known as P vs NP. It asks whether problems that are easy to verify are always also easy to solve. If the answer is yes, meaning P equals NP, modern encryption collapses entirely.

@HonMosiria Ukimaliza CBD kuja hapa Raila Odinga Way from Highrise downhill towards TMall. Bodas wako wrongside wanakuwashia mataa na hasira

It is deeply concerning and unfortunate that most bodaboda riders operating within Nairobi CBD have developed the habit of riding on the wrong side of the road, putting their own lives, their passengers, and other road users at serious risk. This is the disturbing situation I personally witnessed this evening while on the ground verifying complaints about alleged harassment and illegal arrests by the county inspectorate team. From my spot checks, the reality was clear many riders are deliberately violating traffic rules. Within a short time, we recorded 348 bodabodas using the wrong side of the road. Out of these, 253 were stopped, turned away, and advised to immediately return to the correct lane, while several others fled upon noticing enforcement officers. Moving forward, enforcement will now be strict and uncompromising. Any bodaboda found breaking traffic rules especially riding on the wrong side will face immediate arrest of BOTH the rider and the passenger, and the motorbike will be impounded. Arresting the passenger is intentional because they enable this lawlessness by accepting unsafe rides. This measure will send a strong message and encourage passengers to demand compliance with traffic rules. Through shared responsibility, we can promote self-regulation, reduce accidents, restore order on our roads, and improve safety within the city. Road safety is not optional. We must all take responsibility.
