Taken for a ride • ODM leader Raila Odinga’s new dalliance with President William Ruto’s government “is mind-boggling, if not ridiculous”, remarks W. Kimariech. “He shouldn’t take us for a ride. ODM is now the minority in the government and the government the majority in the opposition in their broad-based deal and yet they expect the suffering people to celebrate.” His contact is [email protected] .
Poll rigging • The recent talk by media mogul SK Macharia about the rigging of elections didn’t resonate with James Gakuo, who says: “It’s sad to hear these people’s revelations about the manipulation of the past elections. Don’t they realise that the older they get the more wise counsel they need to give to the younger people? After all, we can’t change the past.” His contact is [email protected] .
Unfair • Students in private universities have not yet received their funding from the Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) well into their second semester, says Nicholas Murithi. “The Helb is reportedly giving first priority to the needy learners in public universities. This is unfair as the parents of the students in the private institutions also pay taxes.” His contact is [email protected] .
Classic car • About 20 years ago, vintage cars enthusiast Brian Maitai recalls, he spotted a 1948 Lincoln Zephyr sedan at a workshop in Nairobi’s Industrial Area near where his late uncle had a car repair garage. “I’ve just been wondering if anyone reading this perhaps knows what happened to that extremely rare four-door metallic grey motor vehicle,” he pleads.

Rally worry • While looking forward to this year’s WRC Safari Rally to be held from March 20 to 23, Joseph Macharia is worried about the event’s fate. Says he: “It was initially granted international status for a period of five years, which ends with this upcoming event. I wonder if it’s going to be renewed or extended, as there has been no news to that effect.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a thrilling day, won’t you!
