BBI reggae • As the BBI campaigners blare out South African reggae legend Lucky Dube’s song, ‘Nobody can stop reggae’, as their signature tune, Henry Ruhiu is only thinking about financial justice for the Dube family. He would be pleased to know whether they will be receiving any royalties as his song is played at the BBI referendum rallies, as they deserve something. His contact is [email protected].

Kinoti bombshell • DCI boss George Kinoti’s vow to reopen the 2007/2008 post-election violence cases is uncalled for, says George Mulwa. “It will only rekindle hatred among leaders and the people. We’re still healing from the PEV and need peace. Remind leaders that not every time is politicking time. They should help build our nation with love and bring about progress.” His contact is [email protected].

Selfish MPs • The demand by MPs for helicopters to evacuate them to good hospitals whenever they fall ill is a “shameless promotion of inequality and selfish leadership”, says Taabu Tele. “They are vomiting on the shoes of voters instead of ensuring quality public healthcare for all Kenyans. Leaders must initiate policies that benefit taxpayers and not just themselves.” His contact is [email protected].

Safaricom promos • Safaricom should spare customers the irritating promotional messages, especially from betting firms, Joseph Macharia pleads. “I get 15 daily, even after blocking most of them, as they always come back with different names. They have a feature you can use to stop particular messages. However, it should be used to block all such SMSs with a click.” His contact is [email protected].

Nairobi traffic • Nairobi City County authorities grappling with the PSV challenge should go to Dar es Salaam for benchmarking, says Churchill Amatha. “At Uhuru Park and Railways Club, a modern five-tier bus stage should be built to mimic the JKIA, with two floors underground and three up. They should then erect a similar iconic structure at Machakos Country Bus terminus.” His contact is [email protected]. Have a futuristic day, won't you!
