Vote wisely • The people should reject bribes and only vote for leaders who will solve their socio-economic challenges, including unemployment and lack of quality healthcare, says Ishmael Kenga. “But the government should also take firm action against those bribing or misleading citizens, and only keen to enrich themselves. Every citizen should remain vigilant every day and fight corruption.” His contact is [email protected] .
Formidable • Watching the intense political mobilisation ahead of the General Election next year, Muriithi King’au says the Mt Kenya region will have a significant impact, but it won’t be what he has coined as the “real politicalberg”. He adds: “There is a formidable mountain, which is the Gen Z voting bloc that is bound to redefine the national political landscape.” His contact is [email protected] .
Opposition • The opposition should not oppose every project initiated by the government for political mileage, says Lincoln E. Oyigo. “Some of the things they are rejecting are needed by ordinary Kenyans. Some of them would even oppose the construction of a key road. The leaders should be realistic, as we all need development projects for progress.” His email address is [email protected] .
Shareholding • Ex-Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Dr Kennedy Miyoro Mochabo recalls, was vilified for talking about shareholding in government. He is, therefore, surprised that National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi is saying his Luo community is the majority in ODM. “How do other communities in ODM feel about it?” His contact is [email protected] .
Drought • The drought in the northern region has become a perennial catastrophe, says Beni Okondo. “It’s possible to make the people in this region survive and prosper, with help from Israel, which has turned the desert into farmland through irrigation and now exports fruits and vegetables.” He’s convinced the problem of starvation can be sorted out.

Have a helpable day, won’t you!
