Resilient law • Marking 15 years since the third President, Mwai Kibaki, led the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution, is a milestone, says Jotham Ndung’u. He adds: “While there have been many efforts to water it down, it has always defended itself through the courts and the actions of the citizens aware of their constitutional rights. Long live 2010 Katiba!” His email address is [email protected] .
Ouster fiasco • Following the second Kericho Governor Erick Mutai impeachment fiasco, W. Kimariech wants the lowest education level for the MCAs fixed at Form Four. “The fellows were an embarrassment as their bid to oust the governor was thrown out on a technicality. Shouldn’t the Senate give the evidence of financial impropriety to the relevant agencies for action?” His contact is [email protected] .
Opposition • Just “opposing anything and everything” is one of the peculiar habits of Kenyans, says Churchill Amatha. “The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission investigates corruption, but it can’t do it alone and thus needs the full support of the courts, government agencies and individuals, religious and other organisations playing their roles in this.” His contact is [email protected] .
Impunity • Why are police allowing people owning big cars to drive them on public roads without registration number plates? asks Evans Macharia Mwangi. “It’s common to see such vehicles with traffic police doing nothing. So, what happens if one causes an accident and fails to stop? Even the President’s car has some form of registration. Stop this impunity,” His contact is [email protected] .
Tree felling • Nairobi residents may have noticed that trees along the roads have been disappearing in the past two years, says Paul Gikundi. An example, he adds, is the Thika Superhighway at Mathare Mental Hospital, Muthaiga Police Station, National Youth Service, Traffic Police and General Service Unit headquarters. “They were not visible from the road but now are.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a tree-lined day, won’t you!
