Having unauthorised people making police uniforms is dangerous
What you need to know:
- Stability is the means to create a productive nation.
Police uniform • Having unathorised people making and selling police uniforms, Ruth Gituma warns, is a “disaster in waiting”. The National Police Service, she adds, must make sure uniforms are made properly centrally. “Unless this happens, we will have all manner of hues of blue in the design and texture of the new uniform and even criminals will make their own.” Her contact is [email protected].

Parking boys • The biggest feat by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS), Jim Webo says, is the sprucing up of the city centre by creating wide walkways even in the middle of the key roads. “But there is a new problem. This is the proliferation of parking boys — nay, men actually — and the return of hordes of dirty glue-sniffing youth in the city. NMS should get rid of these idlers,” he pleads.

Double edge • While he has nothing against Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, who is facing hate speech charges, Mike Johan says the swift handling of his bail appeal is a plus for and indictment of the Judiciary. He wishes ordinary Kenyans could get similar treatment. “The remand prisons are full of people waiting for their appeals against punitive bond terms to be heard.” His contact is [email protected].

Peace and unity • As Kenya joins the rest of the world in celebrating the International Peace Day today, Cheryl Omolo says, politicians should do more to forge national unity. “Our leaders have an obligation to promote peace and unity even as they compete to sell their ideas. Stability is the means to create a productive nation,” adds Cheryl, whose contact is [email protected].

Political doping • Watching the American presidential election campaign, James King’au is amused at the allusion to “political dope” by Donald Trump. “Vigilance against doping in horse racing and athletics is common practice. But President Trump has accused his competitor for it. Is he implying that both undergo a drugs test before the debate?” His contact is [email protected].
Have a clear-headed day, won’t you!
