Elders’ cash • Has the government stopped the Inua Jamii payments for the elderly? A concerned Ibrahim Ahmed is asking on his mother’s behalf. “She didn’t receive her money for June, July, and August is about to end. Her balance reads zero. Can State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizens Affairs PS Joseph Motari, please, give an update on this vital issue?” His contact is [email protected] .
Dark roads • The Bomas-Rongai-Magadi road, Charles Jowi recalls, was well-lit during the 2022 campaigns, but the streetlights were later vandalised. “Who are behind the destruction? Rogue motorists also knock down concrete poles. Students of Catholic and Multimedia universities, and pedestrians risk their lives at night in areas adjacent to Nairobi National Park.” His contact is [email protected] .
Forgotten heroes • The country has been literally colonised by two families, laments Chris Kiriba. “Nairobi alone has Kenyatta Convention Centre, Kenyatta Avenue, Mama Ngina Street, Kenyatta University, Moi Avenue, and Moi International Sports Centre. Heroes such as Bildad Kaggia, JM Kariuki and Oginga Odinga don’t have even a kiosk named after them here?” His contact is [email protected] .
Repaired • Nairobi Water has fixed the problem of water flowing to waste on Donyo Sabuk Avenue, off Peponi Road, says the Corporate Affairs and Liaison Department. “This has been contained. We sincerely appreciate your vigilance and commitment to conserving water in the city by notifying us. You can contact us through our toll-free number, 0800724366, or [email protected] .”
Unreasonable • Overzealous police have been closing the Thika Superhighway to traffic ahead of matches at the Kasarani stadium in the Chan tournament, says Joram Mkunde. “Can their bosses explain why motorists and passengers should be inconvenienced? For a match starting at 5pm, the road is closed in the morning, forcing motorists to seek other routes.” His contact is [email protected] .
Have a reasonable day, won’t you!
