Nairobi’s gridlock should be cleared

Traffic is a nightmare that Nairobi residents wake up to on a daily basis. With an estimated population of five million riding on and dodging two million vehicles, Nairobians do not know when they will wake up to a gridlock-free city, or who will be their saviour.

Ambitious and many a time outrageous plans -- including introduction of trams and cable cars -- have been developed, nay suggested by the county government to decongest Nairobi’s roads, but none has so far been implemented.
