MPs must stop soliciting bribes to do their job
Those at the high table are toothless despite promises, and yet they have the machinery to eliminate corruption instead of just crying foul.
Corrupt MPs • The MPs President William Ruto says have been extorting bribes to do their work in Parliament, Douglas Kaumbuthu Aritho says, include those in his broad-based government with ODM leader Raila Odinga. “Those at the high table are toothless despite promises, and yet they have the machinery to eliminate corruption instead of just crying foul.” His contact is [email protected].

Relocating Archives • Talk about relocating the National Archives from Nairobi’s city centre doesn’t resonate with James Gakuo. Says he: “I hope it's just a rumour or something akin to April Fools’ Day. But if it’s true, then the people concerned must be sick. Can they, for example, also think of relocating Parliament over a rumour about a plot to torch it? This is sickening!” His contact is [email protected].

Bad insurance • The existence of the Insurance Regulatory Authority has not made a difference in Lucy Nginya’s suffering at the hands of an insurance firm despite having paid her premiums in full. “I’ve tried, in vain, to cancel the policy. I’ve sent emails and followed up with numerous calls without any success.” For the details, she can be reached through her email address, [email protected].

Stellar show • Harambee Stars bowed out of the on-going Chan tournament in Nairobi after losing to Madagascar on post-match penalties, notes Githuku Mungai. He’s, however, quite impressed that the Stars put up such a good fight. “Can any person who watched the match tell me which team was better at passing, dribbling, and fair play?” His contact is [email protected]

Stars’ incentive • The Chan restriction of the ongoing tournament to only the home-based national team players is the best way to boost local talent, says Dr Kennedy Miyoro Mochabo. Thanks to the reward scheme by President Ruto, he adds, the Stars players have been minting millions of shillings. “The monetary incentive will make the talented young men go very far.” His contact is [email protected].
Have an exemplary day, won’t you!
