Ban non-sporting activities in our stadia
Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
House of graft • The revelation of the behind-the-scenes manoeuvres that have led to the passing of unfavourable Bills in Parliament is intriguing, says Ruth Gituma. “We’re, indeed, experiencing interesting moments. It’s quite obvious the Legislature has been doing the Executive’s bidding, which is highly regrettable. The question now is who will blink first in this affair?” Her email address is [email protected].

Road redesign • Even as he condoles with the families that have lost their loved ones in accidents at the Coptic Church roundabout in Kisumu, Churchill Amatha disagrees with its demolition by the Kenya National Highways Authority. “It would have been easier to erect speed bumps. This stretch is very tempting for speeding to the flyover at the Mamboleo junction.” His contact is [email protected].

Costly power • A loyal Kenya Power prepaid meter tokens customer, Daniel N. Muchiri, is alarmed at the high cost of electricity. Says he: “I recently bought tokens for Sh1,000 (account number 37287398889) and received only 25.3 units, which is at the rate of 39.5 for each. I will not keep quiet until my account is fully credited with the right number of token units.” His contact is [email protected].

Culture boost • The music and drama festivals promote indigenous culture among students more than mere book learning, says Alnashir D. Walji. “Extracurricular activities can mould personality, but this calls for pragmatism in the use of folklore, mode of dressing, dances and so on. Students should be given that opportunity to showcase their talents.” His contact is [email protected].

Save stadia • The best way to celebrate and reward Harambee Stars’ for the stellar performance in the Chan 2024 tournament, Taabu Tele says, is to “ban non-sporting activities in our stadia to promote fidelity, preserve facilities and save on huge repair costs”. He’s particularly opposed to using them for national day ceremonies “to outgrow that colonial hangover”. His contact is [email protected].
Have a gratifying day, won’t you!
