No innovations • During last Friday’s Jamhuri Day celebrations led by President William Ruto at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, young rappers and dancers entertained the audience, notes Mista Nyambati. “But there was not a single tech innovation or an invention by any young Kenyan in the stadium. Indeed, we are the next ‘Singapore’!” His email address is [email protected] .
Sonko jitters • Ex-Nairobi governor Mike Sonko, who was impeached, has excelled in his philanthropic pursuits, with people from all walks of life benefiting, says W. Kimariech. “Now that he has just launched his own party, NEDP, some people are getting butterflies. As I’m not a lawyer, I wonder if impeachment is like a life sentence?” His contact is [email protected] .
Road safety • In the festive season, too many accidents occur, killing innocent people, says Evans Macharia Mwangi. “The NTSA and traffic police should up their game. Unroadworthy vehicles, speeding, carrying excess passengers and drink driving should be dealt with. Traffic officers can do better if they stop their notorious 50 bob ‘greetings’.” His contact is [email protected] .
Vital signs • A pretty good job has been done on the Ngong-Suswa road, says Erick Otyeno. He’s impressed with the fixing of road signs at sharp corners such as the one in the ‘Checkpoint’ area. “We hope the unscrupulous scrap metal peddlers won’t vandalise them as they are crucial for road safety. All the parties involved in the project deserve kudos.” His contact is [email protected] .
Need for rest • Pupils spend the whole day learning and are by the evening mentally and physically tired, says Mwangi wa Karuga. “What use does homework serve? Why not let them rest until the next day? Keeping learners on books for long hours contributes to severe stress and depression. Let them play games and socialise with friends after school.” His contact is [email protected]
Have a curious day, won’t you!
