Addiction

Am beginning to really love blogging! I did not think it was possible for me to blog continuosly for three days let alone five.. am thinking this is a milestone for me and Twitter has become my friend! What was I doing before I begun doing this new trend in my life? Nairobi is celebrating today! The courts have overturned Govenor Kidero's directive on parking levies... singing the Hallelujah Chorus! No wonder Nairobi is now ranked the most expensive city in Africa! We the citizens are being fleeced left, right, centre and even sideways. We just cannot catch a break. The cost of living is through the roof and basic services are given intermittently if at all. These by the way are services we pay for through our noses to the county government but which are never performed. The city estates especially are in a state of disrepair, the roads have craters that disappear when it rains and you only realize it is there when your car either stalls in it, or you break something! The street lights are off at night and blazing in some parts of the city throughout the day! People are sleeping on the job! The parking lots just outside the County offices are packed with high end cars and you know which job they are experts at! As a citizen I would have no problems paying rates, if I can see the services rendered. If I have constant water supply, good roads, garbage collection, pruned trees, unclogged drainage, working street lights, efficient transportation systems and street lights that are properly coordinated.....the list is endless, then you can raise your parking rates, increase our land rates and charge us more for business licences. But with the current state of affairs you are charging us princely sums to fuel your guzzler and silly chase cars and to feed your self importance. You, Mr. Governor need to know that we the citizens of Nairobi County are your employers and we can FIRE you! Take a trip to Machakos and see what you friend is doing, get off your Ass, get off twitter and get your twiddly fingers to do the job we put you there to do! Off to work on my Lupita Nyongo arms, later peeps.
