- Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has been lauded by the World Bank for the Nairobi Metropolitan Services Improvement Project (NAMSIP).
The project compasses several sub-projects that are aimed at improving the quality of life for Nairobi residents.
Some of the projects under NAMSIP include improvement of Nairobi commuter rail services, construction of markets, improvement of city roads and construction of new fire stations.
World Bank official Gyongshim An during the Nairobi Metropolitan Services Improvement Project meeting at City Hall on 10/05/19 In a meeting chaired by Governor Sonko on Friday, World Bank team leader Gyongshim Anannounced that the organisation has extended the partnership period for the project for another 10 months to allow the smooth running of the projects.
“I’d like to thank you, governor, in a big way for standing and putting stern measures in place. If it were not you the whole of the project could have stalled like in previous years.
‘It is in this regard that we are happy to announce that we will extend the project period for 10 more months so that work can be well coordinated and completed well,” stated the World Bank official.
She praised Sonko’s enthusiasm adding that such kind of projects needed dedicated leadership to avoid stalling.
The project’s Director, Engineer Benjamin Njenga, assured that the construction of commuter rail stations was on course.
There will be five of them including one each at Embakasi village, Pipeline, and Donholm, with the Dandora station having two platforms.
“With construction of these units, it will become easier even for the disaster management team to move when a disaster occurs,” Njenga disclosed.
Sonko on his part, stated that once the new markets under contruction are ready, priority will be given to traders who used to occupy the markets before the new ones.

there is proverb worth heeding Mr. Anonymouth: “You will be assumed wise UNTIL you speak and remove all doubt concerning your foolishness”. You are the first to comment, last to comment, always to comment. Only a fool is that “wise”!

Muthamaki,
Last semester we woke up early to vote for you and send ‘Kimundu’ home…wakasema ‘kimeibiwo’..we were beaten, our properties in CBD were destroyed and you insisted and said it in public that ‘hakuna mkate nusu na kikarudiwo’
Munene, we did not tire, for the second time, we mobilised our people to come out like ‘thurakus’, ‘kanini na kanene’, to an extent of carrying those who could not walk to the ballot booths…..and we did it, to send ‘Kimundu kiguruki’ to Bondo….!!! U begged Jeshi not to fail you and it did not.
Now, Munene tell us;
‘Why has ‘kimundu’ now become part of your interest??
‘Even after all our efforts, what is Kimundu doing in your government??’
Then, why did we wake up like ‘thurakus’ to go vote? Why did we waste so much time and properties in the last election if the ‘kimundu’ we wanted out is still dining with you Muthamaki????
Now ‘Kimundu’ and his ‘tumundu’ are the ones eating the cake that we too much fought for.
Why did you betray Jeshi??? Why did you betray ‘Thuraku??’
Why have you forgotten all the bad names that ‘Kimundu’ and his ‘tumundu’ used to call you??
Let me remind you…’thuraku’ zimerudi kwa mashimo na zitatokea tena wakati wa njaa…
Utajua, Jeshi tingenu!!

Does it really matter what the World Bank thinks. The opinion of the Global Bank is guided by information fed into it by some operatives within the city.
What should matter to Sonko is the opinion of the Nairobians on the ground, in the slums and poorer neighborhoods. The people who woke in thousands to vote for him. The same ones who will once again cast their ballot on 9th August 2022
