"content": "Two weeks ago, we had traffic gridlock along Mombasa Road towards Machakos for around two days because of poor management of our transport system. There are many other areas where we have serious traffic jams. We know the costs and losses which affect Kenyans due to traffic jams. The Central Business District (CBD) is suffocated because the road network which exists today was there when we had very few vehicles on the roads. Currently, we have thousands of vehicles in the city, but they are still struggling to utilise the same network. Because of the human pressure and traffic in the city, we should think out of the box and create an underground metro system. If you walk along Moi Avenue and Tom Mboya streets right now, you will find thousands of people walking in a human jam at this moment. We require an underground system where travellers look for underground railway systems and leave the buildings upstairs where people can shop safely."
