Palaver

That florification circus along Uhuru Highway, where Government Spokesman Alfred Mutua supervised removal of plants to pave the way for painted stones and pebbles is back again. When the circus began, Mutua ignored warnings the rocks could be used to pelt motorists by rioters, arguing that his ‘beautification’ model was maintenance-free as it would not require watering. He, however, was silent on the financial loss removal of the plants brought about. But now, replanting is on and rich red soil has been ‘imported’ along with workers in reflective jackets and nice equipment. Mr Mutua, who bears the additional cost of replacing the pebbles?
