Crooked police • The good job being done by the Kenya Prisons Service to reform convicts is being undermined by crooked police, says Lucas Kimanthi. He’s disgusted with the theft at Hola by police from a small bakery operated by former prisoners. “The National Police Service Commission and Inspector-General Douglas Kanja should take action against the culprits.” His email address is [email protected] .
Pricey fuel • Declaring from the outset that he’s not an economist, Carey Yiembe is, however, convinced that in the pricing of fuel, the “government has been robbing its citizens in broad daylight”. He poses: “Why are our fuel products the most expensive in East Africa? Our landlocked neighbours import theirs through Mombasa Port, and yet they are cheaper in their countries.” His contact is [email protected] .

Noisy worship • Churches, just like schools and prisons, should be located far away from residential areas, says Mwangi wa Karuga. “Churches can be extremely noisy and irritating. Why do preachers use loudspeakers in residential areas? Kahawa West in Nairobi is notorious for evangelists’ loudspeakers. Nema should crack down on the family-owned churches.” His contact is [email protected] .
Football • Keenly following the just-ended English Premier League transfer window, an enthralled university don XN Iraki says tongue-in-cheek: “When I grow up I want to be a footballer! And why not, as Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has just joined Liverpool for a transfer fee of £125 million (Sh21.75 billion). It seems we keep looking for money in the wrong places.” His contact is [email protected] . Have a mouth-watering day, won’t you!
