Wanja Nyarari Declares “Order Restored” as Kangemi Stands Up to Cartels and Reclaims Its Bus Stage

-

 

 Wanja Nyarari announced a major turning point for Kangemi residents, declaring that order had finally been restored at the Kangemi bus stage after years of chaos fueled by cartels and illegal traders.

Nyarari, known fondly as "German  Shepherd"— Kangemi Neighbourhood Resource Mobilizer, said she woke up to support the long-awaited return of matatus to their official, legally designated bus stop—a move meant to protect children, ambulances, and pedestrians who have long been endangered by disorder on the roads.

She recalled that the community fought tirelessly for this road during the infrastructure improvements made in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s era, when NMS constructed a proper and lawful bus station to guarantee public safety. But over time, the terminus was taken over by traders allegedly paying up to KSh 6,000 for illegal spaces—funds that never reached county coffers. This malpractice pushed matatus back onto the road, turning walkways into revenue streams for a few powerful individuals and putting lives at risk.

“Kangemi is a freehold title area,” Nyarari emphasized. “We are not a slum. We deserve dignity, order, and safety.”

She addressed Governor Johnson Sakaja and MCA Hamisi Maleya, urging them to ensure that the law protects law-abiding citizens instead of empowering cartels. She thanked Governor Sakaja for transferring ward administrators in Kangemi and Mountain View, expressing hope that Gloria, the incoming ward admin, will not be compromised.

Nyarari called on local leaders—including the Chief, ACC, Subcounty Admin, DCC, County Commissioner, OCS, and OCPD—to enforce the law impartially and protect residents from those who benefit from disorder.

Her remarks carried the weight of recent tragedies: ambulances blocked from passing, and three children who lost limbs after being run over by a matatu forced onto the road because walkways had been turned into illegal trading spots.

She extended heartfelt appreciation to the Kangemi Matatu Saccos that complied with the community’s demand—what she described as the “German Shepherd Roar.”

“Use your power to change where you live,” she urged. “Change comes with pain, but safety is worth it.”

With renewed unity and determination, she reassured residents that the community is watching closely to ensure enforcement against lawbreakers.

“Let’s keep Kangemi safe. Let’s protect every life here,” Nyarari said, signing off with her trademark resilience and commitment.

By irene  A Cry for Peace: The Aftermath of the Kilepoi Attack The latest assault, a brutal act of retaliatory aggression, had once again thrust the community into mourning. Homes were torched, livestock stolen, and innocent lives lost. The pattern was tragically familiar—a cycle of bloodshed fueled by old wounds and deep-seated divisions. Despite the presence of multiple security installations, including the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU), GSU camps, and military posts, help arrived too late. The attackers vanished into the rugged terrain, leaving destruction in their wake. In the days that followed, anger simmered as locals questioned why their government had failed them once again. Among the voices calling for justice was  Chairperson Turkana professionals Association SG Ernest Nadome  said they  are tired of burying their loved ones "We have security forces, yet we are left to defend ourselves. What is their purpose if not to protect us?" He said  ...
