Goons menace • Our police officers recently returned from Haiti, where they had gone to help deal with gangs notes Evans Macharia Mwangi. “We are told they did a good job there. Why can’t the same police be used here to deal with the so-called goons? If they can’t, then we will have no reason to doubt they had gone there to learn how those gangs operate there and apply the same in our country!”
Dilapidated • The Kenya National Highways Authority director-general, or his counterpart at the Kenya Urban Roads Authority, need to look into the “lunar surface” on the stretch between Cheptulu and Kipchabo Tea Factory on the Eldoret-Kisumu highway, says Leonard Omogo. “A trip on that road currently is a bone jarring experience!” His contact is [email protected] .
Collecting water • As France, Portugal and other European countries buckle under record heat, Kenyans need to take advantage of the predicted El Nino, says James Enyukor. “County governments should dig water pans, the national government fast-track dams under construction, KWS set-up water reservoirs for wildlife, and those in slums pool resources to buy reinforced water tanks.”
Tribalism • Those “tribal leaders” that put Moi University where it is today should be ashamed of themselves, declares Chris Kiriba. “The new university council says six months is enough to restore it to it’s former self; that’s a pipe dream. The community in which the university is domiciled was fed on tribal manna and chased away an administrator par excellence.” His contact is [email protected] .
Speaker’s dignity • National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula wants Kenyans to believe that his office’s dignity is not lowered when he campaigns for President William Ruto with other politicians on top of cars, says Githuku Mungai. “Of course he would say that because he needs President Ruto to win a second term so that he can keep his plum job.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a dignified day, won’t you!
