Seems like being anywhere near the Community Development Funds can get you killed. CDF has been a topic of discussion in our office for a long time with debates being on whether to raise it and who should manage it. It seems like some people see it as a way to enrich themselves quick leading to intense competition on control of the funds.
Apparently the Muthurwa residents are not happy with the Bus park & Hawkers market developments around them. At first there was joy that a market has been opened close to them and also that matatu's are nearby. Now the joy has turned to agony as complaints about noise, dust, fumes pollution and thugs have become common! Like I wrote before, the whole thing was half planned almost as if the planners do not look at the whole picture and the residents reaction does not surprise me!
As such with many ideas in Kenya, it's shoot from the hip and worry about the consequences later.
