Massive traffic jam along the Nakuru-Nakuru Highway as hundreds of passengers and motorists make their way upcountry for Christmas and New Year celebrations on December 23, 2024. Police officers were strategically positioned to deter rogue drivers from overlapping, a common practice that often worsens congestion on this busy route. [Kipsang Joseph, Standard]

We have failed to solve our traffic and logistic problems. Scientific thinking, cause and effect, seems still not part of our psyche.
