Planners should restore order in our major towns Friday May 28 2021 An aerial view of a section of Nakuru town. It is one of Kenya’s biggest urban centres. FILE PHOTO | NMG By IBRAHIM MWATHANE Not too long ago, Thika, Kericho, Naivasha and Nakuru were like model towns. Absolutely clean. With all developments seemingly at their rightful positions, and land uses well thought out. Not anymore! These towns too, like many others in Kenya, have lost it. They are developing and expanding ad hoc. Apparently, there is no order of things, and no effective attempt to enforce any. Every time I drive from Nairobi towards Machakos, I am amazed at the speed of emerging physical developments. The corridor between Nairobi and the turnoff to Machakos town is gradually connecting.
