Corruption • The rampant and blatant corruption in the running of the NG-CDF kitty by MPs has “killed the noble intention”, says W. Kimariech. “The MPs handpick the fund’s staff and dish out and supervise the tenders and yet they want us to trust them. Let the funds go through the counties or is this the case of a lion staring at starvation for pitying the gazelle?” His contact is [email protected] .
Disgraceful • The “current crop of Kenyan MPs is the most corrupt, shameless and selfish in the world”, says Enrique Fabios. “If America, United Kingdom and Singapore had their kind, they wouldn’t be so successful today. Our MPs should only act in ways they will be proud of in their old age. Being so selfish as voters wallow in penury is disgraceful.” His contact is [email protected] .
Insecurity • The high unemployment rate amid the rising cost of living is fuelling crime in towns, says Nakuru resident Faith Wambui. “Many people now fear for their lives. In Nakuru, insecurity has been on the rise. But instead of waiting for the government to give them non-existent jobs, the people should venture into agriculture and self-employment.” Here contact is [email protected] .
Lost parcel • An elderly neighbour whose confidence in the post office remains intact, Jim Okwako says, intended to send a parcel to PO Box 112-50315, Kilingili in Vihiga, which went to the wrong address (PO Box 112-50313) and has not been found over a month later. “I’ve had to send a replacement. Can the good Posta staff, please, trace the earlier one and send it back to Funyula Post Office?”
Extortion • Traffic marshals at the Muindi Mbingu and Kenyatta Avenue junction in Nairobi’s city centre are notorious for harassing motorists, says James Thiaine. “On May 17, at 11:30am, they stopped me and entered my car, accusing me of not stopping at a zebra crossing. They ordered me to drive to a holding yard, but changed tune and demanded a bribe.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have an incorruptible day, won’t you!
