[kictanet] Engineer Kidenda's Response

[S.M. Muraya]

Gakiria,

Today, I was headed to a location in Parklands that I used to know how to
get to.

After closed roads and diversions I could not understand, I found myself on
Thika Road.

To avoid getting lost and somehow ending up in Garissa County I saw another
diversion to Kiambu Rd that got me back to Nairobi County.

Did not bother going back to look for Parklands.

:)
