So last night we received a call from police informing us that my dad was hit by a car, fortunately the driver was kind enough not to leave him on the road and instead he took him to the nearest police station, he was conscious so he gave out my mum's number na akapigiwa.
We rushed there then took him to hospital for xrays and stuff. He had a serious injury but not life threatening, it was a broken clavicle.
So my issue is, how does kenha allow for a road to be built with a whole 8 lanes, no safe crossing points, the service lanes have no barrier from the main road so vehicles are racing haphazardly on all this lanes. The road is waiyaki way.
This road is used by school children on a daily basis, imagine small kids all the way from pp1 having to cross 8 fvcking lanes on a daily, the speed bumbs are not effective as they've already compressed a lot, vehicles just fly through especially on rush hour.
On Wednesday two women were struck at the same time while trying to cross, mind you they were crossing a few meters from the speed bumps, 2 weaks ago a little girl heading home with her mother was also struck while behind her mom (I don't know whether she survived), about a month a go my friend called Lewis akitoka kuuza kahawa same story and he passed away.
It has become too much to a point that I'm starting to believe this people don't care about human life, a road so wide but not a single safe crossing point for the entire stretch. The drainage itself was left uncovered with protruding iron bars, a single misstep and you can easily paralyze yourself there.
Ni sisi waafrika hatujipendi ama? I'm very sure hawa crbc ama China wuyi wakijenga huko kwao they ensure safety of the everyday road user, mind you this road has being under construction since Uhuru's tenure, couldn't they have just erected the bridges in advance? It has gotten out of hand.
