Mission dead • The die seems cast on the fate of the Haiti peacekeeping mission, notes David M. Kigo. “President William Ruto’s plea on the Haiti situation on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York made no impression on other members. I believe it’s time he brought our policemen back home instead of risking more deaths in that country.” His contact is [email protected].

Unconditional aid • The people of Ganze in Kilifi County are in urgent need of relief food, says Ruth Gituma, disappointed that their plight has been largely ignored. “Aid must come without any religious or other conditions or expectations, such as requiring the children and others in the benefiting community to participate in prayers they do not comprehend.” Her contact is [email protected].

Passport nightmare • Mombasa resident Sam ole Ngugi is pained by the difficulty a person who needs a passport to travel abroad for medical attention encounters. Says he: “Dealing with the Immigration Department is a nightmare. Could the department shed light on this? Many Kenyans are suffering.” He hopes the Interior ministry will urgently intervene.

Breeding mosquitoes • Walking around Nairobi, one sees gaping trenches full of stagnant water, says Brian Maitai. This, he explains, is a “mosquito maternity” breeding the deadly little insects. He poses: “How long before the city is struck by the vicious mosquito-borne Chingukunya virus? The city county authorities need to move quickly and fill all these eyesores.” His email address is [email protected].

Staff exits • Whenever employees leave an organisation after resigning, being sacked or on retirement, those they leave behind shouldn’t shun them, says Lilian Karani. “They should realise that the same door we will one day open for them to exit. Let’s treat our departing colleagues with dignity and respect. A workplace that honours its former employees builds trust.” Her contact is [email protected].
Have a respectful day, won’t you!
