Station off air • Radio buff Edward Mwanzighe is quite unhappy about his inability to connect to and enjoy his favourite programmes on Capital FM. Says he: “Kindly check the station’s frequency in the Mombasa area, which has apparently been off air for some time now. I really love listening to the Best Mix of Music all the time, come rain or shine.” His contact is [email protected] .
Raila status • Former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga’s status was much bigger than the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson’s position he vied for, says Opiyo Oduwo. “The voting Presidents saw him as imposing and this, among other things, worked against his candidature. None of the previous holders can match him. Let’s now move on.” His contact is [email protected] .
Poverty • It’s “completely distasteful and unacceptable” for top Kenya Kwanza government officials to move around the whole week, month and year, drawing large crowds for its supposed development programmes, says David Yator. “The people in attendance are still left reeling under the weight of the abject poverty in the country.” His email address is [email protected] .
Garbage • Traders operating kiosks and those in open-air grounds by the roadsides contribute a lot to the littering of Nairobi’s central business district and the residential estates, says Fredrick Njoka. “The culprits often dispose of the garbage in the expansive open areas, gullies and the drains. The city county government should urgently crack down on them.” His contact is [email protected] .
Ultimatums • The harsh language used by Safaricom against ‘Okoa airtime’ credit defaulters “isn’t user-friendly”, says Jimmy Thumbi. He takes great exception to the statement: “You will not be able to access Okoa in the next 24 hours.” Whenever one borrows airtime, Jimmy adds, it simply means that one doesn’t have money. “Ultimatums aren’t good for business.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a helpful day, won’t you!
