[kictanet] Thika Road Version 2.0

[Edith Adera]

Grace,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Gaitho raises very pertinent issues and reiterates the structural challenges with Thilka Road. Eng. Kidenda will do service to this country by explaining to Kenyans how these defects and issues will be addressed not to try and convince us that we have the best road...not for those who have ventured outside their mother's kitchen.

Can we solicit specific responses from Eng. Kidenda about what next to address the issues and reduce road carnage on that road? Version 2.0 of Thika road should include some smart transport solutions (ICTs).

I look forward to his reaction to the article.

Edith

I think Macharia Gaitho is referring to our discussions on roads. For those who missed, the link posted below.

Let’s not gloat about building great roads until we venture out of Kenya
