- Our leaders have betrayed it with their primitive politics and must suffer the consequences.
Bombshell • Chief Justice David Maraga’s advice to President Uhuru Kenyatta to dissolve Parliament for its failure to enact the two-thirds gender rule is a bombshell, remarks Taabu Tele. “The progressive 2010 Constitution was doomed to fail in the poisoned environment. Our leaders have betrayed it with their primitive politics and must suffer the consequences,” he adds. His contact is [email protected].

Dear drug • Something is not right, says John Nyaga, recalling that on September 9, he bought Phenytoin 250mg at Thika Level 5 Hospital at Sh700, for a Kemsa-branded pack. “When stocks ran out, I went to a chemist in town and the same drug cost Sh400. Can the Health ministry explain why it is cheaper at a private facility than at a State-subsidised hospital?” His contact is [email protected].

‘Parking men’ • The “parking men threat in Nairobi’s CBD is huge and they are menacing, as they extort money from motorists”, remarks Dave Tumbula. “They have literally grabbed the space and prevent traders from parking in front of their premises.” He wondering how the Nairobi Metropolitan Services hopes to clean up the city while allowing the invasion by hordes of scary urchins.

Bad road • The Makutano-Ravine road in Baringo County is in an appalling condition, which has sparked protests, laments Winnie Wanjiru. The residents blame the contractor who repaired the road less than two years ago for a shoddy job. Winnie wants to see the contractor recalled to the fix road, which falls under the Kenya Rural Roads Authority. Her contact is [email protected].

Public debt • The reporting on the national debt is quite alarming, says Richard Kihara, on what the new President in 2022 could be confronted with. “According to the reports, there will be little borrowing space beyond three years, implying that this will be the first crisis for the next President. Can we get a better analysis of the debt instead of scaring the citizens?” His contact is [email protected].
Have an accurate day, won’t you!
