Revealed! How Nairobians will benefit from the Matatu CBD Ban

Kenyans are very petty and short sighted. We like being pampered and having things done our way. We love being lied to by politicians. 99% of Kenya’s problems have been created by these mediocre politicians who take advantage of every situation to mislead Kenyans.

Some politicians like Moses Kuria and Johnson Sakaja (Jubilee) Now want to take advantage of the Matatu Ban in the CBD for political mileage. Yet, they have never provided any solution to the menace in our public transport sector.

Governor Mike Sonko has come under a lot of pressure and insults for effecting the Matatu CBD ban which has been long overdue. According to some quarters, he made an irrational decision forcing Kenyans to walk for long distances.

But we should stop being petty and look at this from the bigger picture. Sonko is the only selfless politician who has done something for the greater good, even though he knows this might cost him his sit in 2022.

But if he does not relent, on this move, then he will go down as the most influential governor in the history of Kenya. Our public transport sector is chaotic, it is marred by goons who have taken over every street in the CBD making them impassable and locomotion around the city impossible.

But instead of looking at the long distances we have to walk, let us be positive for ones and look at some of the things that we might gain by walking to work.

I understand there are many challenges, in regard to walking to work. We still don’t have the requisite infrastructure. Insecurity is also a big problem. But these are things we can fix with time, a journey of 1000 kilometers starts with one single step. Procrastinating a problem is not a solution.
