‘Broad-based deal’ to blame for ODM woes

Confused • There is confusion in ODM, and to blame is the faction in the broad-based deal, says Taabu Tele. “It must stop its political bad manners of weeping louder than the bereaved, shadowboxing and badmouthing perceived enemies. Former President Uhuru Kenyatta remains consistent in his political choices. ODM has changed and is now protecting the presidency it never elected.” His contact is [email protected].

Ulterior motives • Politics is ideally the moving force needed for the country’s economic development and should be maintained that way, says Muriithi King’au. He is, therefore, disappointed by those manipulating this useful force for ulterior motives. “Adulterated politics can be extremely disastrous and hampers economic progress. It’s more evident than any form of fuel adulteration.” ([email protected])

Monitor learners • As learners are just back home for the April holidays, parents should get concerned about the danger on social media, says F. Mukembu. “They shouldn’t assume that because their children are not going out, all is well. There are so many online vices that can mislead youth. Monitor what the children are doing at any time and give guidance.” His contact is [email protected].

Unhappy • A Safaricom home fibre subscriber, Dr Patrick Mbataru, is quite unhappy after being disconnected on Good Friday. Despite promises that the matter would be resolved “within 24 hours”, it hadn’t several days later. “While I understand it was a long holiday weekend, there should be enough technicians during such times, or should I start thinking of an alternative?” ([email protected])

Good match • Majembe (Portifas Odipo), the winner of the ‘Vurugu Fight Night’ boxing contest against Mbavu Destroyer (Ferdinand Omondi) on April 4 in Nairobi, deserve kudos for reviving the once popular sport. Says Kanyi Gioko: “Congratulations for uniting the country and making us positive for a change. To the organisers and others, let’s keep it up.” His contact is [email protected].
