Failed • National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula’s performance, Evans Macharia Mwangi says, is wanting. “It’s a total disaster, as he seems more involved in political rallies than in Parliament. He should vacate the key position and concentrate on politics, which he seems much more interested in. Politicking day in, day out is a big shame.” His contact is [email protected].

Agriculture • This country has no business importing food, Richard Kihara is quite convinced. Says he: “This is for the government to ponder. We import basic foodstuffs such as maize, wheat, and rice, and yet we have ample land, labour, and infrastructure to produce these food crops. There lie our jobs for a start. Give targets and empower the farmer.” His email address is [email protected].

Puzzling • Hawkers on the Thika Superhighway hawk towels while those on Mombasa Road, also in Nairobi, sell neck ties? notes a curious university don XN Iraki. “Is it about the type of work they do or the employment of the people who use the two highways? Is it about the weather? Even AI can’t help me. Please, help me to explain this apparent paradox.” His contact is [email protected].

Curious • Closely monitoring the recent developments next to Wilson Airport, Nairobi resident James Gakuo has his eyes riveted to the GP Karting area. Says he: “Here, once stood a store for the airport. But I’m now very curious, as it looks like other things are also coming up there. I just hope no one has taken it over. Can someone, kindly, investigate this?” His contact is [email protected].

Sports • After demonstrating competence for many years in global athletics, the next stage is to showcase Kenya’s talent on the soccer pitches in the big leagues of Europe, says Jim Okwako, impressed with 19-year-old star Eldrine Kibet’s recent signing with Spanish team Celta Vigo. “He's following in the footsteps of McDonald Mariga and Michael Olunga, who have played in Spain. This is quite inspiring.”

Have an inspiring day, won’t you!
