Stalled • The building of the National Police Service Hospital on Nairobi’s Mbagathi Way, which was nearing completion, has stalled for months, laments David Jasondu. “What remains appears minimal, and there is no reason why they can’t complete it. Having a special hospital for police officers is great. If the government really cares, it should get it done lest it deteriorates.” ([email protected] )
Pollution • Nairobi resident Deepak H. Sachania is upset about the noise and air pollution at Westlands Primary School and other nearby construction sites, which were worse on January 11, and still hopes Nema will intervene. “Kindly let me know the doors to knock on if you can’t take action. They have been making noise every Sunday despite my notifying you.” His contact is [email protected] .
Relocate • Traders who occupy half of the road to Mbagathi County Referral Hospital in Nairobi are sitting on a time bomb, Job Otieno warns. “Not only are they creating a gridlock there, but they also operate at grave risk. Can Governor Johnson Sakaja get the traders relocated to another place to clear the road before a calamity befalls the people?” asks Job, whose email address is [email protected] .
Destruction • Monkeys and other wild animals have made life quite miserable for farmers in areas adjacent to Nyeri town, says Nicholas Murithi. The Kenya Wildlife Service, he adds, is not helping the people of lower Thunguma, Seremwai Estate, Githiru, Kagayu and other nearby places. “Crops are destroyed year after year. Who will hear our cry?” His contact is [email protected] .
Paradox • The biggest paradox, Taabu Tele says, is that “while Africa has the youngest population with a median age of 19, the countries are mostly led by geriatrics, with 17 presidents aged over 70”. He adds: “Even the middle-aged leaders get schooled by them and rule their youth with unrivalled brutality packaged in divisive and sectarian slogans.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a youthful day, won’t you!
