The Cutting Edge

The Maili Tisa-Moi’s Bridge stretch of the Eldoret-Kitale road has been in an appalling condition for over eight years now, says Dan Wabuge.

“I remember when I was a little boy, it used to be a smooth ride going upcountry. But since 2002, the road has been full of potholes.

I wonder if no one has ever realised this or it’s just being blatantly neglected and yet the Recruit Training School is along this road. Can’t something be done about this?” asks Dan.

A peculiar habit of Kenyans, which has always baffled Creasey Ikoa, has something to do with ambulances and the rush to get the seriously ill to hospital.

Says he: “Motorists will quickly give way to an ambulance, blaring the siren, even when there is a heavy traffic jam, but all of a sudden, you will notice sometimes up to eight cars fall into line and speed after it. Isn’t it immoral of these very “bright” drivers to dash behind the ambulance at full speed?”

Have a sane day, won’t you!
