What Does Fundi Mjanja do for fun? 
Fundi Mjanja is a deeply philosophical individual who will be found bird watching the majestic marabou storks perched high above Uhuru highway during Nairobi’s traffic rush hour. He has made it his life’s mission to find answers to questions that have plagued mankind like;
Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn’t zigzag?
If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhoea does that mean the fifth one enjoys it?
And; if one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too?
But I digress. Till next time, keep well and keep safe.

Fundi Mjanja.

Today In Engineering

    Transport and Infrastructure secretary Michael Kamau has revealed that a consignment of modern equipment imported from South Africa is expected next week, adding that priority would be given to the Mariakani bridge, which is notorious for congestion. Apart from Mariakani, Mr Kamau added that the Mlolongo and Gilgil weighing points, which are the major bottlenecks in transportation of cargo, will be automated to deal with the hitches persistently contributing to high costs of transportation.
