Bad manners • What was witnessed during President William Ruto’s recent visit to Nyandarua County “was the height of political bad manners”, says Chris Kiriba. “Booing some leaders during a presidential tour is a rather unusual thing in that region. It was planned and executed by a political novice. And by the way, since when did such humiliation ever cook yams?” His contact is [email protected] .
Explosive allegations • In Western democracies, the explosive allegations made against President William Ruto by his former deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, and former Public Service CS Justice Muturi would have made him resign in shame, notes Fred Njuki. “But here, in this most incompetent government since independence, it’s business as usual. I cry for my beloved country.” His contact is [email protected] .
Fishy KQ • Though excited that the national carrier, Kenya Airways, has made a Sh5.4 billion profit after years of heavy losses, Carey Yiembe’s celebration has been somewhat dampened. Says he: “KQ alleges that some Boeing planes have been grounded for lack of engines and spare parts! But where do the other airlines get theirs from? Something is not adding up!” His contact is [email protected] .
Brother’s keeper • Security is crucial for every human being, says Brian Nyachae, alarmed at recent incidents involving university students. “And it all starts with ourselves doing what we can to care for one another.” Brian is, therefore, disappointed that some male students have been attacking and even killing their female colleagues in their rooms.

Sober leadership • The country deserves a sober, respectful and composed leadership, says Truphena Ombasa. “It shouldn’t be just about how well one articulates policies. It’s equally, if not more, about how one carries oneself, how one speaks when under pressure, and how one treats others, especially during contentious or emotionally charged moments.” Her contact is [email protected] . Have a respectable day, won’t you!
