🧵 Nairobi has normalized dysfunction so deeply that we now celebrate roads simply because they exist, not because they are safe.
Driving through parts of the city in the rain felt less like commuting and more like surviving an obstacle course.
Waiyaki Way. Uhuru Highway. Enterprise Rd. Lunga Lunga. Jogoo Rd. Outering. Thika Road. Northern Bypass.
Pitch black.
No lane markings.
No reflective paint.
No warning signs.
Barely any lighting.
At some points, you genuinely cannot tell where your lane begins or ends.
And yet this is a city where every litre of fuel is taxed heavily in the name of road maintenance.
So where is the money going?
Because it is clearly not going into safer roads.
Some roundabouts along Uhuru Highway are almost invisible at night when it rains. You only notice them when you are already on top of them.
The speed bumps around Northern Bypass and parts of Nairobi are another problem entirely.
Poorly marked.
Poorly designed.
Dangerous spacing.
Not traffic calming.
Just vehicle damage waiting to happen.
What makes this worse is that these are not remote roads.
These are major roads used daily by thousands of ordinary Kenyans going to work, running businesses, or simply trying to get home alive.
Road safety is not a luxury item for developed countries.
Reflective paint is not a miracle technology.
Street lighting is not an impossible engineering challenge.
This is simply what happens when institutions stop caring because accountability disappeared long ago.
Road deaths are not always “accidents.”
Sometimes they are accumulated negligence.
And negligence, when repeated for years, becomes policy.

@KillaLando From central police towards globe you suddenly find yourself with no lane at a corner

There's something we should have observed by now:
If the Chinese find out that you love to abuse your people, flout your own regulations, & do things dhwacha dhwacha...they will gladly lead the way in abusing your people, flouting your laws, & dhwacha dhwacharing your country.

Three lanes ....merges into two...then 3 lanes @xysist @KillaLando @patkanzika how did we allow such wild stuff along the uhuru highway opposite KBC? Very unsafe and it's a good recipe for accidents and unnecessary traffic jams! Road safety matters! Road users lives matters

I know it hurts a lot, but the truth is : Fuel isn’t “free money.” Cheaper fuel means less levy revenue for roads. Kenya has 164,967 km of roads, 15.1% paved (24,868 km); Uganda has 146,000 km, 4.4% paved (6,466 km); Tanzania has 181,000 km, 8% paved (15,000 km). Kenya uses a fuel/roads levy, and cheaper fuel still means less road funding unless the gap is covered elsewhere. The choice is simple: lower taxes and cheaper fuel with slower road development, or higher levies and stronger road expansion. The opposition should stop turning every fuel conversation into cheap politics and blaming Ruto for everything.

FUEL PRICES: Practical proposals on how to deal with the Fuel Prices in Kenya.
With a monthly consumption of approximately 400 Million litres, the government must reduce pump prices by at least the following amount. The proposal below is not a favour but asking the government to reinstate taxes and levies before they were added by this regime in 2023 (VAT) and Fuel Levy (2024).
Reduce Ksh 7 from the fuel levy that was added in 2024.
Reduce VAT by an additional 5 % immediately, which will be approximately Ksh 8 per litre.
Grant an additional 5 Bn in subsidies from the Fuel Stabilisation Fund, which will be approximately Ksh 12 Per Litre. The fund already has more than the required amount and in excess of Ksh 20Bn.
This should translate to a reduction by Ksh 7 8 12 = Ksh 27.
This is not too much to ask. Kenyans are simply demanding the reduction of Levies and taxes to the level they were before 2023.
