Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua
Propaganda • While there is no dispute that the Kenya shilling had dramatically gained against the US dollar, Evans Macharia is unhappy with Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s exaggeration.
Says he: “He told a meeting that those hoarding dollars should sell or lose out as it was exchanging at Sh137,” adding that nobody in possession of dollars can buy such cheap propaganda”.

Good music • Kenyan musicians should take a leaf from South African star Tyla Laura Seethal, 22, who bagged the inaugural Best African Music Performance Award in the Grammys.
“They should know that monotony, vulgarity and lack of originality are hindering our music from gaining global success. Let’s capitalise on digital music to revamp our music industry.”

Good old Watchie • The Watchman, “whoever it is, should remain anonymous”, remarks university don XN Iraki.
“That anonymity creates mystery and objectivity.” According to him, “as long as Watchie does his or her work, gender, height, weight or complexion do not matter”.
He concludes: “Long live the mysterious Watchie, as long as you are not a ghost, alien or chatbot!” His contact is [email protected].
