Adam Yes and No. The National Government needs to articulate this more succinctly and standard this so we have uniformity in this space. Otherwise you will have Balkanization because the guy I'm Mombasa doesn't see the value of digging up the roads every week.

Adam, This has absolutely nothing to do with road quality, the issue here is that someone cut across a perfectly good road to lay a commercial service and did not make good after they where through. If this is what will keep being done I fully understand why Dr. Ndemo's directive when he was permanent secretary to the various councils to weave wayleave charges for those companies laying fibre was ignored. I expect that Safaricom and it's contractor will repair the damaged road soon as the soil they used to patch up a tarmac road will definitely not last very long after which we shall all start throwing stones at the innocent county government and its contractors. It might also be prudent for KRA to adjust the effective tax paid by Safaricom if most of it will have to be used to repair problems that they have caused, more like the case of the American government and the cigarette manufacturers. Fortunately the school and residents next to where this shoddy work was done took it on themselves to sort sort the issue as it had become a mosquito breeding ground. Regards PS.

Robert, I think we all agree that the government needs to get on top of this stuff and that groups doing the digging should pay appropriately for the permits and oversight. I still think that the federal government doesn't really have the focus on local roads needed to affect change the way that the local governments do ... and now with a devolved constitution, local governments actually have the power to affect change here. While it would be great for anybody to do anything, it would be ideal to start getting the county governments involved in this stuff - keeping in mind the primacy clause which should still allow the federal government to compel county governments to give right of way for communications lines in the case of reluctant local bureaucrats. -Adam -- Kili - Cloud for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> More Musings: varud.com About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 2:54 PM, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

It seems I sent the kudos too soon, I believe the problem here is the same one that ails us as a nation - supervision, follow through and personal responsibility. On Saturday I almost ran into a matatu on Sore Road in South B after it stopped abruptly, I initially dismissed it as their usual misbehaviour but after over taking it I realised why he had braked, it was because a ravine has been developing across the road courtesy of the better option. After my last scathing post on this issue it was my expectation and belief that Safaricom would send a team out to verify that all works where completed to the required standards. Maybe if Doctor Kidero's team was less ghostly they would have done the follow-up and bill Safaricom accordingly, but with all the party election issues ghostly clouding his vision I am being forced to make a civilian arrest of the culprits. Regards. PS. If Safaricom could provide me with a mobile device (e.g. Galaxy Note tab or Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41 MP camera) with a high resolution camera, GPS, a Tesla Model S and unlimited data bundles I will carry out the verification process for free.

This is the correct and recommended way to repair a road after cutting across it to pass any service Robert Yawe KAY System Technologies Ltd Phoenix House, 6th Floor P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200 Kenya Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696 On Tuesday, 28 January 2014, 9:36, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: It seems I sent the kudos too soon, I believe the problem here is the same one that ails us as a nation - supervision, follow through and personal responsibility. On Saturday I almost ran into a matatu on Sore Road in South B after it stopped abruptly, I initially dismissed it as their usual misbehaviour but after over taking it I realised why he had braked, it was because a ravine has been developing across the road courtesy of the better option. After my last scathing post on this issue it was my expectation and belief that Safaricom would send a team out to verify that all works where completed to the required standards. Maybe if Doctor Kidero's team was less ghostly they would have done the follow-up and bill Safaricom accordingly, but with all the party election issues ghostly clouding his vision I am being forced to make a civilian arrest of the culprits. Regards. PS. If Safaricom could provide me with a mobile device (e.g. Galaxy Note tab or Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41 MP camera) with a high resolution camera, GPS, a Tesla Model S and unlimited data bundles I will carry out the verification process for free.

I still think that the federal government doesn't really have the focus on local roads needed to affect change the way that the local governments do ... and now with a devolved constitution, local governments actually have the power to affect change here. While it would be great for anybody to do anything, it would be ideal to start getting the county governments involved in this stuff - keeping in mind the primacy clause which should still allow the federal government to compel county governments to give right of way for communications lines in the case of reluctant local bureaucrats. -Adam -- Kili - Cloud for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud More Musings: varud.com About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 2:54 PM, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: Adam,
This has absolutely nothing to do with road quality, the issue here is that someone cut across a perfectly good road to lay a commercial service and did not make good after they where through.
If this is what will keep being done I fully understand why Dr. Ndemo's directive when he was permanent secretary to the various councils to weave wayleave charges for those companies laying fibre was ignored.
I expect that Safaricom and it's contractor will repair the damaged road soon as the soil they used to patch up a tarmac road will definitely not last very long after which we shall all start throwing stones at the innocent county government and its contractors.
It might also be prudent for KRA to adjust the effective tax paid by Safaricom if most of it will have to
be used to repair problems that they have caused, more like the case of the American government and the cigarette manufacturers.
Fortunately the school and residents next to where this shoddy work was done took it on themselves to sort sort the issue as it had become a mosquito breeding ground.

IMHO this is a responsibility for the newly devolved Nairobi county.
It's not reasonable to expect the national government to care about this stuff, but it's certainly the case that poor construction on city roads needs to be managed by Kidero et al.
