Thika MP Alice Ng’ang’a has called on Thika motorists, especially PSV drivers, to obey traffic rules since some of their actions were the reason Thika was ever experiencing traffic jams.
She said that since the county government has delayed the expansion of the Kenyatta road they have to wait for the completion as they have no otherwise in easing the traffic congestion in the area.
On El~Niño preparedness, the legislator called on the relevant departments to check on the drainage systems especially where people had built houses on waterways to avoid incidents like the one that was experienced in Kiganjo Estate last week.
Speaking in Thika Town on Wednesday, she urged everyone to take personal responsibility by avoiding dumping garbage on drainage canals thus causing them to block.
She notified the audience that excavators were already in Kiganjo to clear the drainage so that stormwater did not stagnate to cause loss or damage of people's property.
The lawmaker concluded by asking those who haven't yet registered for national IDs to do so and especially now, take advantage of the mobile centres that were being availed to them.
She said that this exercise was free and they should report any government officer who solicited for bribes so as to discharge their duties.
Ng’ang’a took the opportunity to inform the residents of Thika Town and it's environs that the Huduma Centre opposite Thika Stadium will soon open its doors and bring more government services nearer to them. She asked them to take full advantage of this facility when it starts being operational.
