The BRT project was envisioned as a transformative urban mobility initiative aimed at decongesting the city, reducing carbon emissions and offering efficient and affordable public transportation. Years since its launch, however, the project remains incomplete, with key corridors, particularly along Thika Road, Mombasa Road and Ngong Road, exhibiting minimal progress or outright stalling.

Nyandarua County is a leading potato producer and plays a critical role in enhancing national food security and supporting rural livelihoods. However, a recent research attributed to scientists from Egerton University has raised alarm by casting doubt on the safety and quality of these potatoes. The research alleges that farmers in the region use excessive pesticides on potatoes, causing the produce to have excessive pesticide residue above recommended limits, which is harmful for human consumption. If unchallenged, such assertions risk The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
