Cronyism • Some of the appointments President William Ruto has made in government and its agencies are suspect, says Lincoln E. Oyigo. He singles out former CS Aisha Jumwa as the Kenya Roads Board chair. “She can’t guide road engineers. Some areas need professionals. How can Aden Duale manage health? Don’t just reward friends and risk inefficiency.” His contact is [email protected] .
PSV mess • The late Cabinet Minister John Michuki earned fame when he restored order in public transport, notes Job Otieno. “However, today, it is a total mess. Public service vehicles flout all the rules. Some have installed lights that blind other road users. Can Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir wake up and restore sanity on our roads?” His email address is [email protected] .
Ridiculous • The Salaries and Remuneration Commission being arm-twisted to “increase the perks of the heavily paid legislators by over Sh300,000 is as ridiculous as it’s nauseating”, says W. Kimariech. “Do we really live in the same country where the economy is struggling, with health workers demanding better terms and education is underfunded?” His contact is [email protected] .
Bad road • The Kimbo-Matangi junction road in Juja, Kiambu County, has been in poor condition for several years, says Munene Botshelo. “This is unfair as we, the residents of Theta ward, continue to pay our taxes just like other Kenyans. We are now calling for some urgent action to remedy the situation. It’s quite tormenting for the local residents.” His contact is [email protected] .
Parenting • As learners in public and private schools go back home for the April holidays, F. Mukembu is appealing to the parents and guardians not to see this break as a form of punishment for them. “Let them not send the children to their relatives, but constructively engage them at home. They have a good opportunity to get to know their children better.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a useful day, won’t you!
