Graft war • Fighting corruption is risky but essential,” says Delphis Morogo. “Youthful activists face intimidation, harassment, and even threats to their lives, yet they persist, using their creativity and social media to expose corruption at every level.

Faceless abductors • During his appearance before a parliamentary committee, Henry Ruhiu noted that Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja denied that his officers were involved in the kidnappings and disappearances of Kenyans.

Weighty wait • A small-scale trader, P Mbuguah, was recently visited at his premises near Kiserian by staff from the Kajiado County Weighing and Scales Department, who seized his weighing scale for calibration. “They took it to chief's office at Nkoroi, but didn’t leave any details on how I should contact them to get it back. I need it for my business.” His contact is [email protected].

Sleepy NTSA • Most public service vehicles, especially matatus, are flouting safety regulations, says Moses Kariri. “The PSVs don't have emergency exits. The back seats area is occupied by huge loud speakers, hampering escape by passengers in case of an accident. The NTSA and the Traffic Commandant should enforce traffic rules and regulations or just quit.” His contact is [email protected]. Have a safer day, won’t you!
