[kictanet] Revisiting Deadly Thika Road

Wed May 16 09:31:18 EAT 2012

I like the way some of us  take things casually until that rogue driver rams into you and maims you , I liken it to the way our football stars have abandoned the National team because of mediocre management yet instead of addressing the issue we call it whining and lack of patriotism, lest I forget we need 10 billion to fix our beautifull roads that were recently constructed no wonder MJ called us peculiar, tafakari hayo.
