Listers, I'm reliably informed that the debate on Thika road has reached parliament today and is being discussed on the floor of the house. Grace, we are all still awaiting the response of Eng. Kidenda and his team to the long list of questions raised on this list, which he promised to address. Smart transport solutions (ICTs) need to form part the solutions to the road menace - I wonder if reflected in the traffic Bill?

Listers More updates I was at Treasury today with Githae and Bett. 1. Finally, the Mombasa Southern bypass will be built connecting Mombasa Island to South Coast (Miritini through to Dongo Kundu) and connecting to the Mombasa-Tanzania highway. It will cost Sh30billion and will feature 4 bridges and also a link road to the new container terminal near Moi International Airport. The head of JICA will be in the country on June 2nd to oversee the signing of the Japanese loan to finance the project. 2. JICA will at the same time sign to give a grant for the expansion of Ngong Road to six lanes from All Saints Cathedral to Nakumatt Junction at Dagoretti Corner. Money is still being sought for the Dagoretti Corner - Karen - Bomas section. 3. Top Treasury and Roads teams including Kenha top officers are in Washington DC to urgently push for negotiations for the JKIA junction through Southern Bypass-Westlands-Rironi Sh34bn project. Apparently, it is so urgent because if Thika Road is completed, the outpouring of traffic onto Uhuru Highway will turn it into a parking lot.

I think the government is working hard to see many things and projects come to fruition, lets support them. We have supported Dr. Ndemo through positive engagement and we need to support other sectors. Together, we shall build the great Kenya we all want. Thanks Mbugua, this if definitely good commitment.

I hope that now we have Thika road as a benchmark on what ought have been done but never came to be, the many ICT solutions/ideas from within/out this forum be integrated into the new roads.
