The Northern Bypass killing local residents

The Northern Bypass was not meant to bring suffering to the people of Githogoro; but that is exactly what it has done. The 34km bypass which opened in 2011 links Limuru road with Thika road. Githogoro village lies on both sides of the section between Runda and Kiambu road.  While the bypass has made areas such as Kahawa West and Rwaka to flourish, it is characterised by accidents in Githogoro.

So many fatal road accidents occur along the bypass with 'hit and run's' topping the list. Many lives have been lost especially those of men in the community. It seems like drivers are eager to overspeed once they reach the village.
