Unsustainable • Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo is quite right in stating that borrowing to fund the budget is unsustainable, says David Kigo. “But shouldn’t the PS go further and explain to the country how the government will plug the many holes where the funds that are borrowed are then being improperly used through the many corrupt practices?” His email address is [email protected] .
Shameful • The recent brutal attack on Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi in Kisumu City was so shameful, says Lincoln E. Oyigo. “The Luo and Luhya communities should live in peace. The attackers and their masterminds must apologise to Senator Osotsi, as he never preaches hate in his public addresses. Let’s embrace peace in whatever we do. This country is for us all.” His contact is [email protected] .
Cartels • Whenever money is revealed to have been stolen from the government, high-ranking officials come out blaming cartels, says Evans Macharia Mwangi. “But who are these cartels, who are never arrested to face the full force of the law? Who are they in land, oil, sugar and the Social Health Authority? Can’t the government save us from them?” His contact is [email protected] .
Appreciation • The media and communication sector is a key player in the economy, creating employment, says Limo Esquire. “The Kenya Institute of Mass Communication employs lecturers in print and broadcasting media, training reporters, camera operators and filmmakers. The State should appreciate the media as it pays taxes to sustain the economy.” His contact is [email protected] .
Drying up • Meru’s rivers are drying up and inflicting untold hardships on those living downstream, says Allan Murianki. “A striking example is Kathita River, which flows through the town. Today, what remains is a stretch of exposed boulders, with only thin trickles of water. Without responsible management, these resources will continue to dwindle.” His contact is [email protected]
Have a thriving day, won’t you!
