Wastage • The hullabaloo about the high oil prices wouldn’t have arisen if the country seriously addressed the massive wastage by the bloated government and endemic corruption, says W. Kimariech. “These vices have eaten the country to the bone, as the current leadership campaigns and proclaims policies standing on car rooftops. Let’s smell the coffee and stop the profligacy!” His contact is [email protected] .
Controversial pick • The appointment of Gaucho (Calvince Okoth) to the board of Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital in Nairobi “is either a masterstroke by Governor Johnson Sakaja in inclusivity or a mockery of expertise and/or academic papers”, says Taabu Tele. He adds: “But the ghetto president is better placed to enrich the board with a unique lived perspective.” His contact is [email protected] .
SHA woes • Those complaining that the Social Health Insurance Fund run by the Social Health Authority (SHA) is not working have a point, says Kollongei Kipruto. “When we complain, we’re not just being sceptics. I visited the Eldoret SHA office seeking information on optical services and they couldn’t name a single medical facility that covers teachers. Shame on them!” His contact is [email protected] .
Failing students • The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (Kuccps), has failed to ensure fair, transparent and merit-based admissions, says David Yator. “Collins Kimutai Kemboi (KCSE 2024, Index No. 33517201093) has since January last year been unable to apply through the Kuccps portal for a diploma in clinical medicine and surgery.” His contact is [email protected] .
Weak excuse • The talk about Nairobi having been a swampy wetland not suitable for settlement, Churchill Amatha is convinced, is just a waste of time. “The county authorities should spare us this and instead provide the required services. Who doesn’t know that 25 to 50 per cent of the Netherlands is reclaimed land? Stop the excuses.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a truthful day, won’t you!
