Kenya, how ready are we to handle disasters?

It is so sad that Kenya as a country we get caught off-guard when a disaster strikes. Less than a month ago, we came together to help feed our fellow countrymen. Today we mourning the Lunga Lunga disaster, which according to reports has claimed over 100 lives.  My condolences and prayers to all the affected families.

A quick question, how ready are we in case the ugly face of disaster comes knowing our doors? We need stop being a nation that always waits for a calamity to happen for it to react, we need be a nation that knows how to prevent such calamities and is always swift to respond to them.

Traffic snarl ups

It is so sad for Nairobi to be ranked as the fourth most grueling commute of 20 cities surveyed in a new IBM international traffic study. According to the report, Nairobi and Moscow topped the list of cities that host the world’s longest traffic jams — 2.1 hours — which is 40 per cent higher than the survey’s average of 1.3 hours.

Traffic jams have become a permanent feature on Nairobi roads even as the city looks forward to the completion of major roads and bypasses to ease flow.
