…end up removing people from Nairobi City entirely???
I have heard some people saying that business in Ruiru dried up after the construction of the bypasses surrounding the town ended. There was reduced vehicle traffic/customers coming into that town. Watu wa Ruiru akina @Purple can confirm.
(Although they do have a massive highway under construction in Ruiru as well. Very big project.)
So @sani hata mkisema nothing is moving… 
Mkuki once asked a talker to name a road in Kenya that isn’t tarmacked or is in a state disrepair and I said Limuru rd.
Of course he didn’t see the comment but luckily Gathecha has made history upgrading Limuru road. Several billionaire cowboy contractors have eaten from this road over the decades and left it in a terrible state. Let’s hope it will be finished to perfection unlike outerring.

@sani your thoughts.
Definitely the road network will change Nairobi completely. The new tollway from the airport means that people can now commute comfortably from Kitengela, Isinya, Machakos and once distance areas. For the longest it was about living in the city. Not any more.
Iyo tollway inasaidia ukifika Mlolongo, umefika Kitengela ivi majuzi? Jam inaeza kushika ii Kitengela usahau ulikuwa unaenda Jiji
Been there. That Kitengela road is a very easy fix. So far there’s plenty of room to expand each side. It hasn’t been encroached. The jam is actually starts at Kitengela town itself. Poor traffic design. A highway should not pass through the center of a town.
Which came first, the town or the highway? I believe (stand to be corrected) Kitengela town grew off nearby ranches and a centre of slaughterhouses, and was thus build along the highway. Planners messed instead of going off the highway
Hakuna planning ikifanywa Kitengela, the Town just grew like the rest of Maasai Towns. FYI ii ni Kitengela mwitu, the Original one was located along the Old Namanga Rd
Weh! Sina habari ya ushago kwetu but I’ll find out.
Do these people live in Ruiru ?
Of course yes.
Your friend the njaruo rotrings isograph seems to have returned.
Usidanganywe priss.
Ruiru has grown to become an industrial hub due to its accessibility from all sides of Nairobi. From JKIA one can use Eastern bypass. From town, one can use Thika superhighway, from Thika and Central/Northern Kenya, same.
From Westlands/Limuru/Western/Riftvalley one can use the Northern bypass/Kamiti-kiambu roads. From inner Kiambu, one can use Ruiru-Kwa Maiko-Gizunguri road…
Very strategically located.
Unadanganyana nini??? 
Word on the street is that people used to go eat meat in Ruiru but since the bypasses came along plus kamakis meat joints, Ruiru became a dead zone as concerns food. Same for businesses like hardware stores which moved to the bypass.
Many businesspeople left Ruiru to set up shop along the bypasses.
Many tenants have also moved to live along the bypass roads.
Is there any new supermarket or petrol station that has been built in Ruiru in the past decade? Nope.
How many supermarkets and petrol stations have come up along the bypasses?
Now what if the same happens to Nairobi town?
You have a point here. But that’s is in the past. With the coming up of tatu City, several other Industrial parks have come up. These factories have attracted populations that is fuelling business growth.
QuickMart supermarket opened its doors a year ago and it’s doing roaring business. Powerstar supermarkets have 3 branches within town, and Mathais had one that got burned down. All are doing roaring businesses. Banks?
Ruiru cbd has five.
Colleges and universities campuses? Several.
Boss. It’s the town to start a consumer based business now.
I heard that Quickmart Ruiru is capturing the foot traffic from the market which has been upgraded.
Powerstar is old and replaced another supermarket that went to the bypass. Maathais is also old. These are not new supermarkets.
In fact Ruiru town itself is small and old and nothing ever changes. But it has a lot of potential if it was well planned. Some buildings date back to the 1950s. By colleges I imagine you are referring to Zetech which is on Thika rd and not really in Ruiru itself.
