Residents of Ongata Rongai and Kiserian are now contemplating court action to force the national and county governments to improve roads that are causing debilitating traffic jams.
We may have no other option but to seek the intervention of courts of law. It is not fair that we pay taxes and get almost nothing in return.
We are unhappy both levels of government have neglected us even as infrastructure falls apart and the traffic nightmare destroys the economy.

Living in Kiserian and Ongata Rongai has literally become a nightmare we we all hope we can wake up from as soon as possible.
