Mandago controls traffic in Eldoret as police go missing

Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago was on Saturday forced to take charge of traffic control in Eldoret town for more than 1⃣ hour to help ease heavy traffic jams as traffic police officers👮 were missing from all routes❗

It is said after his officers tried in vain to open the traffic for him, the angry😠 governor alighted from his 🚗car and personally took charge to restore flow by directing the vehicles.

"When all of you don't want to obey traffic regulations it does not help anyone and we end up getting stuck unnecessarily", Mandago 🔈 the matatu operators at the Iten road-Highlands junction.

The town has been experiencing heavy traffic jams due to narrow roads and Mandago has been on the forefront pushing the national government to quickly construct the Eldoret Southern by-bass road which will help to ease traffic jams in the town.

President Kenyatta launched🚀 work on the road last month and Mandago said🔈 they were working with the Kenya National Highways Authority to ensure the 💰Sh 5.7 Billion by pass project is completed faster.

The Kenyan Constitution requires there to be a general election on the
second Tuesday in August in every fifth year. There have been
public discussions to move the date from August to December with
proponents pointing to fiscal timeline (1 July–30 June) clashing with
an August date because most ministries that support critical election
processes will not have been fully funded and that a possible
presidential runoff vote may interfere with the national examinations
calendar of October and December. Opponents of the election date
change have argued for protecting the constitutional provision and
that any change would be mired by legal challenges and may drag on
to the next elections and still require a referendum to decide, putting
the country's stability at risk.
Electoral system
The President of Kenya is elected using a modified version of the two-
round system ; in order to win in the first round, a candidate is required
to receive over 50% of the vote and 25% of the vote in at least 24
counties .
The 337 members of the National Assembly are elected by two
methods; 290 are elected in single-member constituencies by first-
past-the-post voting. The remaining 47 are reserved for women, and
are elected from single-member constituencies based on the 47
counties , also using the first-past-the-post system. [6] The 67
members of the Senate are elected by four methods; 47 are elected in
single-member constituencies based on the counties by first-past-the-
post voting. Parties are then assigned a share of 16 seats for women,
two for youth and two for disabled people based on their vote share.

2017 is Kenya's general election and there is this electoral law that was rece passed by the jubilee members of parliament and also the Senate. Jubilee has the majority members of parliament in the house and so it's very easy for them to say and do anything they wish to become of their numbers. The law that was passed allow people to vote manually if the electronic systems fail.
The opposition says it's not good for the people of Kenya but the government says it gives people opportunity to vote whether the electronic systems is working or not.
The opposition says there will be no election if the law will not be reverted but the government says election will be there whether there will be presidential candidates or not.
I'll keep an eye and let you guys know how it goes
