Due diligence fail • President William Ruto’s belated scrapping of the suspect Adani Group deals after public outcry just confirms a blatant lack of due diligence, says Wanjohi Mwangi. “There has been a massive failure of this vital process. Will the President still entrust these same people with the vetting of future projects or are we going to see heads roll?” His contact is [email protected]
Bad trend • It’s quite distressing for the President and many other politicians to take advantage of the Sunday church services to further their own selfish interests and other parochial agendas instead of praying for the country and its people, says Carol Rotich. “Can’t this be done at political rallies on other days and leave Sundays specifically for prayers?” Carol asks.

Varsity’s woes • It is so disheartening that Moi University, “once a flourishing institution, has been run down into an empty shell” by its managers, remarks Thomas Yebei. “To make matters worse, it has been indefinitely closed but the culprits are still in office. Can the government arrest, prosecute and sack them for the wanton waste and theft to save the university?” His contact is [email protected] .
NHIF shocker • The biggest shock to James Gakuo is that the 1,800 employees of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) that has been phased out have not been absorbed by the new Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) under the Social Health Authority (SHA). “They are instead being retired. Why are the MPs so silent on this one? It’s totally wrong and unfair.” His contact is [email protected] .
Honours • While he has nothing against leaders being honoured by having roads and any other prime public facilities named after them, Dave Tumbula is uneasy about to decorating those who are still holding key offices. “It’s rather awkward, for instance, for Bungoma Town to have Governor (Ken) Lusaka Road. Why not wait until he leaves office to honour him in appreciation of a job well-done?” Have a befitting day, won’t you!
