Ongata Rongai residents fed up with corrupt traffic police

Ongata Rongai residents in Nairobi are fed up with services rendered by corrupt and hell-bent traffic police assigned to man Magadi road. Enough is enough! Residents and motorists plying magadi road have castigated traffic police officers in Ongata Rongai for their ineptness, corruption and open bribery.

These law enforcers have established an extortion ring at strategic points between Bomas of Kenya, Multimedia Univeristy and Maasai lodge junction where they use these points to pay police their ‘dues’ to allow them overtake and reach faster! Upon payment, these notorious “matatu za ronga” or otherwise known as “matatu za wire” are therefore free to obstruct and/or overtake aimlessly. These matatus overlap in full glare of police officers and worse still, they smile and communicate with coded language with conductors and drivers allowing them to perpetrate this evil! It’s now official; each traffic officer on Magadi Road collects between Ksh 10,000 -Ksh 15,000 per day. This therefore becomes the avenue by which these matatu madness reigns!
