Ruto, Opposition politicians’ ugly exchanges must stop
President William Ruto addresses residents of Kakamega Town on March 17, 2026.
Behave! • Leaders should behave themselves, says Auratic Koome, disgusted with their hurling of insults at one another. “There’s a need to stop the ugly exchanges between President William Ruto and opposition politicians. Our children, too, are watching the insults on TV and social media. Freedom of speech should be exercised with integrity by shunning politics of shame!” His contact is [email protected].

Solutions • The many lives that have been lost due to flooding in Nairobi, including last weekend’s, are saddening, says Bimal Sobhagchand Shah. “Isn’t it time, instead of the usual politicking, to convene a meeting with the city county government, roads engineers, architects, contractors, the business community, and residents to seek lasting solutions. Life is so precious.” His contact is [email protected].

Save face • It will be a big shame if Kenya is stripped of the right to co-host the Afcon tournament with Uganda and Tanzania next year for failing to pay the Sh3.9 billion fee, says Nicholas Murithi. “This will be such a huge embarrassment. Our co-hosts have paid theirs. Stop political hand-outs and pay up to save the country’s face.” His contact is [email protected]

Suffering Nairobians• Many residential estates, mainly in Nairobi’s Eastlands, Lang’ata and Kawangware, have been hit by an acute water shortage, Joshua Mwabali reports. “This comes after floods recently swept away some water pipes. Nairobians are always suffering, and now, it’s from floods to dry taps. Can someone, please, urgently come to our rescue?” His contact is [email protected].

Missing rhumba • An ardent listener to rhumba icon Mwalimu James Onyango Joel’s programme, Zilizopendwa, on KBC Radio since 1984, Nicholas Murithi, is unhappy that it’s no longer aired. “Since August last year, the programme has been off-air without any explanation. Can the KBC chief tell us what happened and when the programme will be back?” His contact is [email protected].
