Is it me or is Nairobi’s City Hall like some sort of public toilet where people walk in and out as they please? It was burnt down and documents stolen under suspicious circumstances, the Mayor’s chain was stolen last year and now this year the Deputy’s chain was stolen alongside the Mace and several CPUs with important information.
First things first. I would have thought that after last years’ incident security would have been beefed up with armed guards at the building. It is known that there is valuable information, equipment and money in the building and with Nairobi’s insecurity robbery was inevitable.
Also after losing documents in the last fire, why didn’t the City fathers arrange for the documents to be scanned or typed and then saved electronically on an online server? Yes that sounds like alot of work but it is much less work that trying to reconstitute all the lost information, cheaper too.
I have to be honest Nairobi is a city that has great potential but the adminstration and management by the Local Government is just pathetic and is holding it back from fulfilling its’ full potential. Nairobi has the potential to be East Africa’s jewel but with each year it seems that less and less is being done to move it into the future. Whenever someone comes up with a great idea they are pulled down and the idea doesn’t get off the ground or is turned into a white elephant so some people may benefit.
What happened to the by passes that were supposed to be built after Raila had structures built on road reserves demolished? The traffic situation in Nairobi is horrendous and if nothing is done more people will waste time and money being on the road instead of working. This will also lead to further wear on the worn out roads and a major increase in air pollution. Not the bright future we are looking towards, huh?
