What you need to know:
- Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s reckless talk risks dividing the country.
- There appears to be a common fraudulent thread running from the past regime to Ruto's administration.
End poaching • President William Ruto’s challenge to the new Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers to seriously fight poaching is a timely call, says Fadhili Nafula. “The killing of the endangered species such as rhinos and elephants poses a major threat to the country’s tourism industry.” The rangers, she pleads, should preserve the rich natural heritage.” Her contact is [email protected].

Contempt • After cancelling the shady Adani Group JKIA and Ketraco power line deals, President Ruto’s criticism of the whistleblowers “as people who have never even set foot at the airport”, was very contemptuous of them, says Fred Njuki. “The two contracts stunk to high heaven. Nobody is against refurbishing the airport, but it should just be above board.” His contact is [email protected].

Fraud • There appears to be “a living common fraudulent thread” running from the past regime to the Ruto administration, remarks Taabu Tele. He adds: “Exploiting the key sectors of education and health saw the promotion of the then bone-headed laptop project in primary schools just like the new Social Health Authority (SHA) insurance scheme to defraud Kenyans.” His contact is [email protected].
***
Divisive • Impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s “reckless talk” risks dividing the country, says Kelvin Yambo. “His tone and gestures while addressing his supporters at Nairobi’s Marikiti Market before he was kicked out appeared to fan ethnic chaos. The country does not need such divisive utterances.” The leaders, he adds, should instead unite the people. His contact is [email protected].

Caution • Parents should monitor their children at home, especially during this festive season and the long school holiday, says Gabriel Odhiambo. “This should help to prevent them from engaging in immoral activities. Instead, they should be encouraged to assist parents in home chores or read story books. They must avoid drug abuse and engaging in sex.” His contact is [email protected].
Have a useful day, won’t you!
