Section of the Nairobi Expressway of Expressway nearing completion in Westlands, Nairobi. [David Gichuru, Standard]
Soooooo, the hallowed road in the skies, bypassing the clogged city centre to link Mlolongo and adjoining counties of Kajiado and Machakos to Nairobi’s affluent neighbourhood of Westlands, is finally here. It opens tomorrow, finally, hopefully, to the public.
As it was in the beginning, when the hoi polloi were reminded the road wasn’t meant for their ilk, it has come to pass that they don’t even have the means to pay for it.
