My attention is drawn to an MP aspirant who wants to make political capital by dumping sand to parts of Thiongo road in an attempt to castigate failure by Westlands MP to rehabilitate the road.
To my astonishment the MP aspirant managed by the well educated Moses Esemele seems deceived and manipulated to a backfired PR gimmick with no eyesight of the ramifications.
Thiongo access road is categorized as a County Road.Well before the County called for proposals to rehabilitate the road on Feb 24, 2015 the residents of the area led led by Francis Mbugua Kamau led demonstrations in Mountain View by youth decrying the poor status of the road in May 2014.
Westlands legislator Hon Tim Wanyonyi came and listened to their pleas. He took up the issue at two levels. He petitioned parliament for a budgetary allocation to the county to tarmac the road in addition to speaking to Dr Evans Kidero to fix the road.
Long before the county took any tangible action, Hon Tim Wanyonyi between June and December 2014 contracted the services of local youth led by Norman Jarega to put murram on the road for it to be accessible. The rehabilitation involved 500 youth drawn from Mountain View and Kangemi Wards. By the end of it the road was in a better state awaiting the County Intervention.
By January 2015 the road was in a better status and future prospects were boosted by allocation of KES 65, 557, 314 by the County Government to tarmac the road. The County Called for Proposals between Feb 24, 2015 to May 10, 2015. Subsequently the tender was awarded to a contractor who commenced on the work.
CONTRACT NO: NCC/T/RPT/243/2014-2015; Rehabilitation of Thiongo Road
PROPOSED START DATE: 14/09/2015
PROPOSED COMPLETION DATE: 14/09/2016
COST OF PROJECT: KES 65, 557, 314
PROJECT STATUS: 30%
REMARKS: SLOW PROGRESS OVER DELAYED PAYMENT
Any attempt to dump sand or murram now by anyone and in any manner is a criminal offence since it is tantamount to interfering with the Contractors Work.
It can not be wished away that HON TIM WANYONYI has pushed for the tarmacking of the roads and any political failure should not be allowed to try and joke with the intelligence of the Westlands people.

Kangemi Primary School pupils studying in one of the refurbished classrooms courtesy of Westlands MP Hon Tim Wanyonyi. Kangemi Primary School was established in 1927. It is the only public primary school in the expansive Mountain View Ward. The school has a current enrollment of 1,846 pupils and 30 teachers. The school bore the brunt of a ballooning population of its catchment comprising of Gichagi, Rift Valley, Village Inn and St Joseph informal settlement areas.  The free primary education programme introduced in January 2003 positively contributed to an increased enrollment of pupils at the school .The high enrollment with the limited physical facilities at the school resulted in congested classrooms. The defunct city council failure to allocate resources to the school further  contributed to the sorry state of affairs with the school infrastructure being overstretched. The school depicted decay, disuse and neglect. Everything was in tatters from the crumbl...

He was categorical that the land belongs to Nairobi School and the residents have no option but to voluntarily leave or be forcefully ev...
