Forsaken country• Former Prime Minister and ODM leader Raila Odinga's defeat in the just-concluded African Union elections is an indication of how Kenya has been used and dumped by other African countries, says Chris Kiriba. “We should now concentrate on our affairs. Our peacekeeping missions and hosting of refugees have been taken for granted by the others.” His contact is [email protected].

Night of long knives • Those who "live by the sword shall fall by the sword”, says Robert Mukirae, warning those who plotted the impeachment of the "Son of Wamunyoro", former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua about a looming "night of long knives", for them. “Politics is a bare-knuckled sport. But as we're regaled by political buffoonery, our economy remains in the doldrums.” ([email protected])

Illegalities • The beloved country Kenyans cherish so much is becoming an illegal entity, laments Charles Wakaba Kamanga. “This is due to the many things being declared illegal or unconstitutional by courts. Besides the unconstitutional position of Prime Cabinet Secretary, the National Assembly Speaker has also come under siege for wrong rulings." His contact is [email protected].

Sober up and act • Since a resident of Uhuru Garden Phase 1 at Lang’ata, Nairobi, complained a month ago about a pub opened near their gate with drunkards making noise the whole night, the authorities have not acted, says Job Otieno. “It has become worse, with vehicles parked on the roads and drunkards sleeping on the roadsides. Who approved this bar in a residential estate?” ([email protected])

Risky roads • Driving on Nairobi’s Mbagathi Way and Valley Road in Nairobi is risky due to motorists making illegal U-turns at every opening they see, says David Jasondu. “The notorious sections on Valley Road are near Serena and Citam, while on Mbagathi Way, they are at the Kenyatta Market junction and Defence Forces Memorial Hospital. Can the traffic police stop this?” ([email protected]).
Have an orderly day, won’t you!
