Thats what they are known for. They want to succeed haraka upesi. This thing will not be done in 5 yrs they way they keep saying. Thika Rd of 56 KM pekee took how long?

Lets not forget laptops saga that was to start in 3 months after they took over.

Look at mess in eastern bypass...and now southern by-pass is also stuck because of land acquisition tussles.

What criteria should be used to determine which orders to obey and which to disobey? If I occupied your house and you got an order to evict me, would you like that order obeyed or disobeyed?

Civilized societies have one identifying mark: Court orders have to be obeyed!
