<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma">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.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma">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).</font></div>
