Modern cars don’t need inspection
Automatic cars have a number of “fail-safe” features at the ready-to-go moment.
Move airport • Konza City, Joseph Nthale suggests, should be give a shot in the arm by moving Wilson Airport there. In his view, the move would also address the concentration risk of having all the main airports in the city. “The land should then be transferred to Nairobi National Park as compensation for past encroachments.” His contact is [email protected].

Falling apart • The section of Thika Road stretching from Blue Post to Kenol town is in a sorry state says Kamau Kefa. “The tarmac is severely worn out, and the patching attempts have offered little relief – they have left the surface uneven and uncomfortable to navigate.” He wants KeNHA to prioritise a comprehensive rehabilitation of the road rather than the temporary fixes that have proven inadequate.

Vehicle inspection • Modern cars have sensors that alert the drivers if something is wrong and therefore don’t need any inspection, particularly for private cars, observes university don XN Iraki. “A booking fee of Sh1,000? Even ICUs don’t ask for a booking fee! This inspection fee comes after the speed cameras and instant fines. Owning a car is the new slavery!” His contact is [email protected].

Improvement • The aggression that Gen Z exhibit is learned from “practical training” offered since the 2007 madness and earlier by older generations, says, James Enyukor. “Kenya needs to copy the twin Japanese principles of ‘omiyari’ (not being self-centered) and ‘kaizen’ (continuous improvement). This will go a long way in helping us reach that mythical ‘Canaan’.

Cash bundles • Politicians are carrying huge wads of money to their political functions lately, Churchill Amatha notes. “Wouldn’t it be safer and better for all parties involved to use electronic money transfer? Could it be fear of traceability, fake currency, taking the money back for the next function, or just showing off? Something is not right.” His contact is [email protected].
