Stop it! • “The shameful competition between politicians during ODM founding party leader Raila Odinga’s funeral over his true final wishes was a desecration of his own legacy”, remarks Taabu Tele. “Please don't kill Baba's party with your selfish promotion of personal interests disguised as party policy, as you’re just sawing off the political branch you are perched on.” His contact is [email protected].

Bad politics • Character assassination and tribal politics are diverting people from progressive undertakings, says Douglas Kaumbuthu Aritho. “I wish politicians could stop bitter exchanges using sarcastic words and focus on development.” If he had his way, he would prioritise ending the university lecturers’ strike and solving the Social Health Authority's woes.

He was the master of ceremonies during the Madaraka and Jamhuri national days. We mourn a great Kenyan.” His contact is [email protected].

Dead TV • The past few days have been a nightmare for Pauline McKenzie, as every night, and on a few afternoons, she has been unable to watch television. Says she: “It seems that I’m the only person in Diani, who has this trouble. The dimensiondata.com's engineers are very polite, but I still don't get any data. I’m really getting very tired of this.” Her contact is [email protected].

Man’s world? • While reviewing some of the leading tech inventions and innovations carried out internationally in the 20th and 21st centuries, Mista Nyambati says that one anomaly really stands out for him. “I've noted that almost all were by men! Just out of pure curiosity, I would wish to know why the women are lagging behind in such key fields.” His email address is [email protected]. Have a gender-balanced day, won’t you!
