Regressing • Watching the delegations to State House, Ruth Gituma says they mirror the past Kanu era. “Despite changing times, continuity remains evident in these frequent visits. I’m curious about the selection of the delegates? Is it representative of the population? This confirms the unique nature of our nation, echoing themes from Michela Wrong’s book, It’s Our Turn to Eat.” Her contact is [email protected].

Re-election • With the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission now in place, Chris Kiriba says the MPs and MCAs dissatisfied with the leadership of the parties that sponsored them in the 2022 polls can exit and seek re-election in those whose ideologies and philosophies they believe in. “That way, fellow Kenyans will start taking them seriously.” His contact is [email protected].

Unattainable • The tragedy of our country, James King’au says, “is that the leaders’ and people’s dreams are unrealistic”. He adds: “With the corruption and wanton misallocation of public resources, the dream of attaining the economic status of the Asian Tigers such as Singapore and South Korea our country was at par with at Independence rings hollow.” His contact is [email protected].

New life • The first-year university students have already reported to their campuses, where life is quite different from high school, as they take charge of their lives, says F. Mukembu. “They need guidance to fit into the new system and settle down. If not properly guided, they might fail to achieve their dreams. I wish them all the best in higher education.” His contact is [email protected].

Baffling • What really baffles Mista Nyambati is that when some Kenyans who own large tracts of land upcountry die, they are quickly buried at public cemeteries in the towns, such as Nairobi’s Lang’ata and the one in Nakuru South. “Why do the people have this obsession with interring their dead kin in public cemeteries despite owning a lot of land?” His contact is [email protected].
Have a logical day, won’t you!
