    "content": "If you compare the City of Nairobi with other cities in the world, like New York, London and Paris, you will realise that this city is developing haphazardly without any plans, especially in the area of traffic management. It has become very difficult for emergencies to be dealt with urgently. If there is a problem on one side of the road, it becomes very hard for any emergency intervention to be taken because at times, our roads are congested. There are also times when traffic lights are not working. I have in mind cases where ambulances find it very difficult to meander, trying to get to hospitals. This city has a number of hospitals like The Nairobi Hospital, The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), MP Shah Hospital and The Aga Khan Hospital. Most patients coming from up-country are brought easily through travel in the periphery areas. Those from Mt. Kenya region may be brought fast through the Thika Super Highway. But the moment they get to Murang’a Road, so that they can enter the Central Business District (CBD), it becomes very hard for any vehicle to move out of the CBD to take the sick person to hospital as a result of heavy traffic. It becomes very hard for that emergency service to be rendered from one corner of the city to another one."
