Enemies • There are no permanent enemies in politics, says Jimmy Thumbi, on the meeting between President William Ruto and his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta. “As wananchi fight one another, politicians never hold grudges and friendship is restored in the blink of an eye. Who would have thought Ruto, Uhuru and Raila Odinga could be on the same side again.” His contact is [email protected].

No role • Leaders should stop hoodwinking Kenyans into believing they’ve a role to play in the election of the African Union Commission chairperson, says Evans Macharia Mwangi. “It’s an African Heads of States’ affair unless they just want us to raise funds for Raila Odinga’s campaign as the country’s candidate. Otherwise, we have no role, period.” His email address is [email protected].

Kudos • The Newspapers in Education programme that runs from January to November is helping to hone the writing skills of learners in primary and secondary schools, says F. Mukembu. “I feel it has been the best platform for this and laud the sponsor, NMG, for it. It should continue with the same spirit and the school administrators should fully support it.” His contact is [email protected].

Waste • It is wonderful to see the Nairobi River section in front of Muthangari Police Station “so clean after many years”, says Diana D’souza. “But it is disgusting to see the huge mound of filth removed from it sitting on the river bank just waiting to be washed back by rain. It is such a waste of time and resources. Can’t the filth be removed?” Her email address is [email protected].

Not impressed • Lawmakers have been lauded for choosing to travel to Mombasa by the SGR train for their East African regional games as a demonstration of austerity measures, but M. James is not impressed. Says he: “This has been widely covered in the news, but it is just showbiz. How many fuel guzzlers were used to drop them off at Syokimau Station?” His contact is [email protected].
Have a frugal day, won’t you!
