Ruto’s silence deepens passport-selling scandal storm
The Kenyan passport.
Suffering • Mismanagement and seemingly endless politicking “have long clogged the channels of service delivery in the capital, Nairobi”, and seriously disadvantaged the residents, who deserve much better, laments Muriithi King’au. He adds: “The blocked drainage systems and the ensuing floods wreaking havoc are just a tip of the iceberg on the woes facing Nairobians.” His email address is [email protected].

Illegal passports • President William Ruto’s loud silence on the passport-selling scandal is worrying, says Taabu Tele. This, he adds, is very much unlike this hands-on CEO who never fails to comment on any national issue. “Ruto must take the wind out of opposition sails with the truth told to Kenyans lest they fly the kite of misinformation to the skies of voters.” His contact is [email protected].

Projects promises • What has always baffled Ruth Gituma is the source of funding for projects often announced at public rallies and at the funerals of some prominent people. Says she: “Although I’m not an expert in budget management, I do have a basic idea. Are they part of the budget, or do we have a discretionary fund for these purposes?” Her email address is [email protected].

Bribe demand • A bank (name withheld) is “doing a very good job by offering customers personal and business loans to help them in these tough economic times”, notes Samuel Onyango. But when a friend of his applied for a Sh10,000 loan at its Kericho branch, the field officer sent to assess his creditworthiness demanded a Sh1,500 kickback!” For the details, his email address is [email protected].

Late police • If you go to any police station at 8am to report an incident or complaint, you will not find anybody at the Occurrence Book desk, says Cleophas Ndolo. “But, by 7am, traffic police are always on the roads doing what they do best, which is to extort bribes. Has the delay been sanctioned as part of police reforms?” His contact is [email protected].
