The whole system is broken. The AP’s are obviously void of any ethic or moral responsiblity. Solution is the change revolution.

Jenaette.

Also realise that ideally, roads should be marked with clear signs where you should not make wrong turns etc. Remember, you may be driving in a new neighbourhood or worse still, be a foreignor trying to find your way.

How many of our roads are clearly marked so drivers can clearly see the dos and don’ts? you cannot possibly know all the right and wrong turns all over the country. If you are not meant to park at certain areas, they ought to be marked as such. You are not an angel on the road to know everything. signs exist precisely for that…like do not make a u turn, dead end etc….

LOL, ati they hide in the bushes ready to catch people making wrong turns? Now that is an interesting sight. But again on the other hand, Kenyans need to learn to obey traffic rules and stop making jua kali maneuvers. Not that it excuses grown up policemen hiding in bushes, but it would make driving on our roads a pleasure. Living in a country where traffic rules are obeyed to the letter, I was scared stiff of getting behind the wheel in Nairobi over the christmas holidays. How people leave their homes drive through town and get back home without their cars being scratched or bumped left, right, centre is still beyond my understanding.

As for the Bush APs, one day they will learn a lesson. Mercy, better stay away as they can arrest you for a reason that will leave you scarred for life.

hey guys,
I have an issue i would like to bring up,hoping someone will come with a better or workable solutions.There are two AP’s who every morning,instead of patrolling peponi road,are always hiding behind the bushes(fence)of peponi plaza.(next to nakumatta westgate)
The reason is the are waiting for unsuspecting motorist to make a wrong turn just after peponi plaza!My concern here is that, arent the police Utumishi kwa wote?Instead of them waiting to catch the traffic offenders(and yet they are not traffic cops!) then demand for 300 to 500 bob from them,otherwise they threaten to take you to parklands,why cant they stand at that same junction and direct the would be culprits to the right turn?what can someone do in this case.I wish i had the guts to go tell them off but am scared of the Ak 47 they carry with them.
