What you need to know:

  • Nairobi City County government should consider closing filthy kiosks and clearing heaps of uncollected garbage to make the city more habitable.
  • Busia Governor Paul Otuoma’s impressive start to his first five-year tenure after his election in 2022 is fading away over alleged corrupt dealings.

Civic education • Voter registration is dismal, especially among youth, says Wambui Njiru. “Ironically, many of them demand change but fail to take the first step — registering to vote. The IEBC should intensify civic education and use social media to reach more young people. Voting is both a right and a responsibility, and change begins with registration.” Her contact is [email protected].
