James Nguyo (Badge #67214) of the Kenya Police Kiangwachi Police Patrol Base on the A2 Highway between Sagana and Karatina is corrupt. He forced us off the road for travelling 7 km/hr over the speed limit. Watch out! They are desperate for money because they are not being paid. Any foreigner traveling on this road will be harassed as there were several of us paying 5,000Ksh a head. Why are there are there no posted speed sign boards from the end of the dual-carriage way all the way to Nanyuki?

Kiangwaci
Kiangwaci is located in the central highland area of Kenya, close to Mo
unt Kenya (Africa’s
second highest peak). The land is generally lush, green and fertile, and rainfall is regular,
although some degradation has been caused by deforestation. There are large, well
-
watered
fields of maize, beans, wheat,rice and vegetables and the
soil is a rich, dark red
-
brown and moist
. Water is available locally, although petrol pumps are also used to irrigate the
crops.The group of farmers we met had recently organized into a community self
-
he
lp group. The
villagers belong to the Kikuyu ethnic group but many speak English fluently. Most have
between two and five acres of land (referred to as
shamba
) on which they grow mixed crops
such as bananas, maize, French beans,rice, and baby corn. Livestock fa
rming is also in practiced,
with cows, goats and poultry.
The farmers engage in various activities to minimize the risk of a falling market or low
harvest, and are generally not afraid to learn and try new things to improve their practices.
These farmers
expressed the need to know when to plant, when to harvest and how to obtain
good prices for their produce.
Rainfall is fairly consistent in the area. A river provides sufficient water for all nearby
farmers; it never dries up and its current is fairly s
trong. However, not all the farmers are
making the best use of the water. Most use motor pumps to transport water to their farms.
Very few farmers collect rainwater for re
-
use.
Few properties have electricity, but most members have mobile phones which can
be charged
in the local town or by neighbors with access to electricity. Some villagers have solar panels
which supply small amounts of power for lighting. The nearest fixed access point to the
Internet is in a town 20 km away.response / report this review
