The biggest question people are asking out here is why nothing seems to be working in Nairobi.The little development seen on the ground seems to be coming from elected Members of Parliament and not the county.
Water shortage,heaps of garbage,broken sewer lines,failed street lighting among many other functions the county is supposed to offer can’t be felt.
Governor Sakaja,the man who promised to make Nairobi work is a mistake.He is more concerned about being the UDA chairperson of Nairobi County at the expense of Nairobi.
Having taken time to understand MP Babu Owino and how he is using the limited CDF resources to manage affairs in Embakasi East,you get to understand why Nairobi needs someone who has served with the direct mandate to manager financial resources before being elected Governor.
In 2013 we elected someone straight from Mumias Sugar to Nairobi and that didn’t really work well.We followed it up with a drama king Mike Sonko and now with the half baked Johnson Sakaja.
In between,we have had the NMS that brought in some sanity but that was never satisfying.
A focus on a few constituencies in Nairobi like Westlands, Embakasi East , Kasarani portrays the great work our MPs are doing especially in the education sector.
The plight of public schools in Nairobi as been in danger.Many people believe that Nairobi only needs private schools and that has been a big problem.The renovation of public schools in places around Embakasi East has been of great help.Massige resources have been put in to ensure guaranteed access to education.Considering that most public land that could otherwise have helped build more schools has been grabbed under the watch of City Hall,our MPs have helped a great deal in stabilising the situation.
With the poverty levels among the average family in Nairobi getting worse,we have seen more children enroll for class in places like Embakasi East where public schools are limited.
The revamping of roads,bursary allocation that the MP does in broad daylight have been a plus as well.On the other hand,no one can tell when and where the millions allocated for Bursary in Nairobi go.The school feeding program has been rocked with scandals.
Education, enterprise support, and infrastructure development model that Babu has persistently used can work for Nairobi
