Banditry • The perennial killing and maiming of law-abiding Kenyans in the North Rift by bandits must stop, says Chris Kiriba. “No true Kenyan can so blatantly spray their fellow citizens with bullets as these merciless merchants of death are doing. The Kenya Defence Forces should be deployed to stop these callous aggressors. An eye for an eye is a fair game here.” His contact is [email protected].

Inciters • Politicians “will do anything, using any means”, to gain their way and remain relevant, says Joe Ngige Mungai. “They will shamelessly address you from the rooftops of their limousines and, after inciting the public, speed off to the nearest hotel. Don’t allow politicians to burn our country. As we don’t have another Kenya, we must guard this one jealously.” His contact is [email protected].

With the current drought, including in our pockets, it seems love will remain a matter of the heart without a public display.” His contact is [email protected].
Have a loving day, won’t you!
