Huge salaries • The biggest joke, Carey Yiembe notes, is that “the President, his deputy, and the Supreme Court judges have worked so hard to earn huge salary increments with effect from July”. And this, he adds, at a time when employers and employees are reeling under excessive taxation and reduced earnings! “Do these people live on Planet Mars?” he wonders.

Wrong columnists • Newspaper columnists, Carlos Kamau says, are unreliable. This, he adds, has been brought clearly by Eric Ngeno’s article on Raila Odinga’s failed African Union Commission bid . “I read his column on February 22, pontificating and quarrelling those celebrating Baba's loss. I was bemused, recalling his past acres of space against the same Baba. Let the columnists be truthful!” ([email protected] ).
Road safety • Road traffic accidents remain a significant public issue with youth being among the most vulnerable groups, says Jerry Kenyansa. “The National Transport and Safety Authority and the Ministry of Education should introduce road safety as a subject to be taught in schools. Sensitisation should be stepped up to equip the students with useful knowledge and skills.” ([email protected] )
Annoying messages • Safaricom promotional messages often flooding his phone, Samuel Wachira says, are very annoying. “They say you can either use the USSD code *456# or My Safaricom App to stop these messages. I have done so but they just keep on coming. It’s very irritating.” His number is Tel 0720396868 and he can also be reached through his email address, [email protected] .
Raw emotions • There are times leaders, including some of top politicians, have “allowed raw emotions rather than reason to take the centre stage in debates of some serious national issues”, says Francis Njuguna, adding: “Sober minds are needed in such discussions. This is quite essential. Indeed, emotions should be avoided at all times in the national debates.” His email address is [email protected] . Have a reasoning day, won’t you!
