Parliament's failure triggered Maraga advisory

MPs’ fault • CJ David Maraga is not to blame for his advisory to President Kenyatta to dissolve Parliament for its failure to enact the two-thirds gender rule, says Job Momanyi. “He did not author the Constitution. The advisory was automatically triggered when Parliament failed in its role. While it can be challenged in court, it has gone down in history.” His contact is [email protected].

Road of shame • Running almost parallel to the Nakuru-Eldoret highway, the Njoro-Elburgon-Molo-Mau Summit road is in a deplorable road, moans Isaac Njuguna. “The gaping potholes and trenches should shame the concerned individuals and roads agencies into action. This is a major artery cutting across rich agricultural farmlands.” His contact is [email protected].

‘Wi’ me? • Three times since March, Henry Ruhiu, a resident of Ongata Rongai, has tried to get a Safaricom Wi-Fi connection and failed, even after paying the fee. Though he has been given refunds, he is frustrated. “They’ve told me my premises is not mapped for connection but my neighbours have the service. What could be the problem?” His contact is [email protected].

Same old Posta • Posta is terminally ill, having failed to evolve with the times, remarks Joe Ngige Mungai. A few months ago, he was at the GPO, in Nairobi, and saw the same Posta of stained walls and parcels on the floor in dingy rooms”. Recently, his wife tried to send him a parcel in the US and Posta was non-committal on the delivery. His contact is [email protected].

Smooth criminals • Women mistakenly feel safe in the company of members of their gender while walking along the busy Nairobi streets, especially Tom Mboya, Luthuli and Accra, remarks Joe Musyoki. But a gang of neatly dressed young women has been capitalising on this false sense of security to mingle with and pickpocket female pedestrians and vanish. His contact is [email protected].  

Have an alert day, won’t you!
