I was back in the Rift Valley recently reviewing how the counties are faring, after the long rains.

I wasn't necessarily interested in monitoring the state of national roads, even though it was self-evident that the national highways authority, KeNHA, has taken a long sabbatical, which could explain why the Nyahururu-Nyeri road resembles kichungi. That means it's been battered into smithereens.
