To expand Magadi road and open up Rongai, Ease traffic build up to and from Rongai. It is a wonderful place that needs to be accessed. Ongata Rongai, also locally known as Rongai or simply Rongaa, is a settlement in Kenya's Rift Valley Province located between the Kaputiei plains and the Western slopes of the Ngong hills all within Kajiado District.It is a fast developing residential urban aggregation in the outskirts of Nairobi with a population of 35,000 in the 1999 National Census but currently estimated between 66,042 and 147,000. The city is situated 17 km south of Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya and lies at 1731 m (5682 ft). Rongai is noticeable for its serious lack of infrastructure, lighting and social amenities compared to the population it holds. As a matter of fact, it is one of the few fast growing urban centres in the world without a municipal authority. Hence, its development faces serious planning challenges. Although an overall physical plan has been done{ and continues to be updated by the Ministry of Lands, it is quite difficult to implement it because of the lack of a viable local government. Various attempts have been made to improve the situation but they have largely failed. The first serious attempt at settling Rongai's infrastructural deficit was in the early nineties when the Chinese government advised that Rongai would grow to be one of the major metropolitan districts of Nairobi and even offered funds for infrastructural development. These funds were probably embezzled. The olkejuado county council has on two occasions advertised tenders for construction of roads,markets and bus parks but these have never materialized.Previously the victory construction company was assigned by the government to put up drainage along Magadi Road but they never completed the job and actually created a mess by leaving the open trenches uncemented. All these just goes to show how much Rongai is a victim of poor governance and corruption and unless the Kenyan urban leadership and thinking is changed things look very dim for Rongai. Mounds of garbage have become quite common and unplanned informal businesses are mushrooming at an alarming rate. Traffic jams in Rongai are quite sickening and are caused by lack of a road network such that only one bitumen standard road serves the entire population of Rongai. Furthermore, existing roads are too narrow to allow free flow of traffic and are also unpaved. There is also a lack of enforcement of urban by-laws. Donkeys, for example, should not be allowed since they cause unnecessary traffic snarl-ups,they eat away vegetation by the roadside and litter the place with feces which is a health hazard since it is through donkey feces that tetanus spreads. Furthermore donkeys are not allowed in other urban centers in Kenya why should Rongai be an exception?
