Ruto-Uhuru meeting is a win-win situation
President William Ruto when he paid a courtesy call to former President Uhuru Kenyatta in Gatundu on December 9, 2024.
Use and dump • President William Ruto’s meeting with his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta, “is a win-win situation as one is guaranteed no constipation from eating political humble pie while the other has the loudest last laugh”, remarks Taabu Tele. “What’s more, the President has been throwing his footsoldiers under the bus after using them to test unpopular policies.” His contact is [email protected].

Peculiarities • Three things stand out in the meeting between President Ruto and his predecessor, notes university don XN Iraki. “One is the meeting place, Uhuru’s rural home in Gatundu. Why not his Nairobi home? Two, is the means of transportation. Why not by road? Three, doesn’t this confirm that our political elites always flock together when threatened by the masses?” His contact is [email protected].

Vets silent • Following talk about a climate change plan to vaccinate all livestock, Wanjohi Mwangi is baffled by the deafening silence from the veterinary experts. “I’m still waiting for their comments on the likely impact. What will be the effect on the quality of beef, milk, hides and the fertility of our animals? Why is the advice coming from politicians?” His email address is [email protected].

Hellish diversion • Since the construction of a weighbridge at Mukumu on the highway in Kakamega started four months ago, motorists have been having a nightmare on a 200-metre diversion, Charles Mangunyi laments. “It has huge potholes filled with muddy water. Since the work has stalled, can’t the Kenya National Highways Authority just reopen the road?” His contact is [email protected].

Reciprocation • Kenyan lawyer and politician Martha Karua being denied a temporary practising licence in Uganda to represent in court opposition leader Kiiza Besigye, who was recently abducted in Nairobi, is something James Gakuo is not taking lightly. Says he: “Ugandan doctors easily get licences to work in Kenya. Doesn’t anyone read something abnormal here?” His contact is [email protected].
Have reciprocal day, won’t you!
