Thanks, at least we know their doing something.
Im using a wireless connection and its still damn slow. But some cyber cafes in town are really fast. For someone who is used to making a cup of coffee waiting for downloads you can guess my reaction accessing fast connection.:banana:

btw do you think that most kenyans in urban centres really understand the possibilities that super fast broadband brings?
Nairobians, Yes. Other urban areas, No. But people will catch on as time goes by.

any renders?
They are going to create a flyover over the Globe Roundabout. The Globe Roundabout should have been converted into a green space.
My exact thoughts, and include a lake since nairobi river passes right through it.
Half of the roundabout was turned into a matatu terminus while the other half has been fenced off for this project. Though I guess the flyover project will still leave a large green space in this other half when its complete.
I dont think its even possible to have a lake here Lol. Though The river nowadays is so clean and the banks so green its shocking when I look at it and remember how it once was.
Why not? The river can be dammed.
