Uncanny • President William Ruto’s nomination of ODM founding leader Raila Odinga’s widow, Ida, as Kenya’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to Unep is quite interesting, as it mirrors the naming of Pamela Mboya to a similar position many years back, notes university don XN Iraki. He poses: “But just out of curiosity, is this coincidental or deliberate?” His contact is [email protected] .
Achieving dream • The dream of turning Kenya into a “Singapore” will only be realised if President Ruto reorganises his team to serve the country without focusing on political affiliation, says Tonny Ochere. “The officials should not be people who only think about their home regions and religions. They should protect rights as enshrined in the Constitution.” His contact is [email protected] .
Poor service • The Office of the Attorney-General leaves a lot to be desired, with people waiting in seemingly unending queues, says Njunge Ndugire. “The Public Trustee office is a nightmare, with only two desks manned. Woe unto you if one of the officials is on leave. Add the agony of a malfunctioning printer and you literally waste a whole day!” His contact is [email protected] .
Change • The way long-serving Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is running his country is quite disturbing, says Aggrey Chore. “Why appoint family members to key government positions, including that of the military chief? I’m sure that change in Uganda will come one day as many people are unhappy with what is going on in their own country.” His contact is [email protected] .
Heyday • Nakuru Boys and Girls high schools, Moi Forces Academy-Lanet, Bahati Girls School, Molo and Utumishi academies “used to roar in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exam results, but are rarely heard of these days”, laments Mista Nyambati. “Nakuru used to be the home of academic giants. What exactly happened to these top schools?” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a memorable day, won’t you!
