The Western view in daytime of the massive church whose construction is ongoing within the grounds of State House, Nairobi.
Anger • There are some interesting quotes on anger, says Ruth Gituma: They include, “The greatest remedy for anger is delay” by Seneca, and “For every minute you remain angry, you give up 60 seconds of peace of mind” by Ralph Waldo Emerson. “The two would be especially useful for President William Ruto as he lectures the police to deal firmly with protesters!” Her contact is [email protected].

Church project • President Ruto should have emulated the late President Daniel arap Moi, a devout Christian, who chose to build AIC Milimani Church away from State House, Nairobi, says David M. Kigo. “His Sh1.2 billion church at State House violates the constitutional separation of the Church and the State. This church building project is just bizarre and he knows it.” His contact is [email protected].

Creativity • ICT Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo” is chasing the wind instead of harnessing the creativity of youth”, says Kamichore Mutindira. Also quite paradoxical, he adds, is that the government, which purports to protect children, has allowed the killing of GenZs by police. This, he explains, has been happening in broad daylight as youth stage peaceful protests. His contact is [email protected].

Excellence • For Kigwi Njuru’s information, Kenya High School, also known by its nickname, “Boma”, is a home of excellence and talent, admitting top performers from every corner of the country, says Robert Mukirae. “It then moulds and nurtures them into the creme de la creme. It’s Kenya’s high-level institution. Let other schools seek their own monikers!” His contact is [email protected].

Impressive • Gor Mahia Football Club chairman Ambrose Rachier is one top sports administrator Nicholas Murithi greatly admires. Says he: “Rachier knows football management like the back of his hand. Also impressive is his grasp of the National Language, Kiswahili, coming from a region where many people don’t speak it that well. Keep it up, Bwana Wakili!” His contact is [email protected].
Have glowing day, won’t you!
