Roads...how bad can they get?

Hey!!! Could someone shed some light on just when some of Nairobi’s roads hardest hit by the heavy rains are actually going to get repaired?
I wrote here some time back that the city’s roads had become a source of pride for all of us. They were smooth and shiny, that is until the rains began. Roads countrywide have been affected. That seems to have changed now. Although the overall state of the roads has improved, the resurgence of huge potholes has seen the hazards of driving in Nairobi increase.
Haile Selassie Avenue has some horrible, crater-like potholes just as you join it close to the former Kenya Bus Station. It is a sight that is bound to shake the confidence of any city motorist. Then there is another pack of potholes just as you get past the Kariakor roundabout on your way to Pangani or Racecourse estate. There seems to be a leaking water pipe there and the potholes seem to be getting bigger by the day. Driving here at night can mean a slow, bone-jarring ride that could see you getting unflattering attention from would be carjackers and criminals. However, the powerful floodlights at the nearby Kariakor market have helped reduce the presence of the night vultures.
The creaking and groaning vehicles in Nairobi sink wheel-deep into potholes scattered in different parts of the city, as the grimacing motorists hope and pray that someone at City Hall will finally remember that every day means more expenses in servicing and maintaining cars.
