Equal rights • Kenya is for all of us, including the minorities such as the Elmolo community, says Chris Kiriba. “Just like the majority Kikuyu ethnic group, even the newly naturalised Wapemba and Makonde belong here. And none of us is more entitled to the property called Kenya than the other. Let’s reject the tribalists.” His contact is [email protected] .
City management • Nairobi should cease to be a county and be turned into a government-led city, says David Githae. “The ceding to the national government of some key functions by Governor Johnson Sakaja and Mike Sonko before him has proven that the current system is not working. It’s time Parliament passed the law replacing elected governors with appointed managers.” His contact is [email protected] .
Abusing power • America is the sole superpower mainly because of its economic strength, but it shouldn’t use it to torment Iran, says F. Mukembu. “It should lead by example in ensuring that there is peace, love, harmony and tranquillity in the whole world. President Donald Trump should use the power for global good and not as an advocate of war.” His contact is [email protected] .
War fallout • While countries with the highest Gross Domestic Products are advising their citizens to cut down on travel and prepare to switch to green energy, alongside commodity stocking, including fertiliser, as the Middle East War rages, Kenya is silent, says Paul Khaemba. Does the government think our country is immune to the shocks from the crisis?” His contact is [email protected] .
Baffling move • Inspector-General Douglas Kanja’s launch of the Administration Police Service Critical Infrastructure Protection Unit – Del Monte to safeguard the firm’s operations, employees and community in Kiambu, has baffled James Gakuo. Says he: “There’s so much crime in Nairobi’s CBD, and I wonder if the next one will be the CBD protection unit.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have an explainable day, won’t you!
