Following weeks of campaigning on Twitter, the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) broke their silence.
They have agreed to repair Outering Road lights.
“Our Technical team is on it, soon they will be restored”, Kura wrote on Twitter replying to Outering Road and Musyoki Kiendi (@musyokitito) Twitter accounts.
For close to two years, Outering road, the most dangerous road in Nairobi has been dark at night since all the lights are not functioning.
It wasn’t this way in the past.
In the past, only sections were without light, but this time, the entire 13-kilometre stretch was dark.
The issue of lack of lights is due to vandals, scrap metal dealers and vehicles which knock down street-light poles, which are then not repaired fast.
Outering Road Twitter account has been on the case for months now

No lights. @KURAroads pic.twitter.com/5noRheAg2j via @OuteringRoadKE
