Spokespersons • Having observed how hard President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua have been working after literally hitting the ground running, Joe Ngige Mungai has a word of advice for the two gentlemen. “They need to allow their communication teams to speak for them. They should only personally respond when it’s extremely necessary.” His contact is [email protected].

Junket • Why Nyandarua County chose to send its MCAs to the coast for their induction is something Bimal Shah has difficulty understanding. Says he: “I’m shocked that the MCAs and very many support staff went to the coast and yet in Nyahururu Town there is five-star Panari Resort. They could have boosted their own economy. What a waste!” His contact is [email protected].

Haughty hair • Benjamin Kibias has an issue with women and their hair. “They should be considerate when choosing their hairstyle, especially if they use public transport. It shouldn’t protrude backwards and become a nuisance to the passenger seated behind her, more so if the seat has a low backrest. You can’t even read a newspaper.” His contact is [email protected].

Have a comfortable day, won’t you!
