Why Kenyan youth must now take up political leadership

Way to prosperity • Without proper leadership and good governance, African countries will never prosper, says Jerry Kenyansa. Without naming names, he’s convinced leaders must seek peaceful solutions to conflicts. “It’s easy to start a war, but a nightmare to stop it. They should build the capacity to promote economic prosperity and political stability.” His contact is [email protected].

Solar woes • While “solar is the in thing, and not because Safaricom is going green, the promotion has been going on for three decades”, remarks Churchill Amatha. “Unfortunately, good technicians are few. The five cases I’ve been engaged in haven’t been fruitful because the expertise is not standard. We urgently need properly trained technicians.” His contact is [email protected].

Payment reversal • Can Safaricom, please, come up with a better approach to the reversal of wrong paybill payments, as customers are losing their money in these difficult economic times? George Kirethi pleads. He adds: “One disappeared with my Sh13,100 and yet the phone number provided by the Safaricom Customer Care Desk is not being answered.” His email address is [email protected].

Youth’s time • After listening to Winnie Odinga’s speech during the funeral of her paternal aunt, Beryl, Jediel Muthuri says: “I’m convinced that youth know what they want, where they want to go and with whom. They should be respected and given their space. The saying that the country is theirs calls for action for them to achieve their dreams. It can be done.” His contact is [email protected].

Strong warning • The 10-year jail terms or Sh5 million fine each for two men who vandalised electricity equipment in Homa Bay is a serious warning to those who put entire neighbourhoods at risk of electric shocks, fires and outages, says Tonny Kyule. “But one strong court ruling isn’t enough. Badly needed are up-to-date laws that put public safety first.” His contact is [email protected].
