Use of excessive make-up is indicative of low self-esteem
Use of excessive make-up is indicative of low self-esteem.
Lethal lethargy • The deaths of 11 passengers in a minibus crash at the Thura River bridge in Embu are disheartening, says Kamichore Mutindira. “They depict the lethargy of our traffic law enforcers. The NTSA officer gave a lacklustre explanation. The vehicle was overloaded and unroadworthy. The owner, driver and NTSA should be held accountable for this crash.” His contact is [email protected].

‘Toll station’ • It’s bigger and more defiant, says Dave Tumbula, amused that the police roadblock at River Sio, on the Busia-Kisumu highway, is still there whether police chief Hilary Mutyambai likes it or not. “It’s manned by armed police 24/7. It’s lucrative, with the officers’ cars parked nearby. It can’t be about border security. A kilometre away, others flag down matatus and trucks, pocketing something.”

Powerless • Keen to start a business at Sio Port in Samia, Busia County, Margaret Odhiambo applied to Kenya Power for electricity connection in September, paying Sh20,012. She was allocated account No.137045910 (Ref E24622021090006) and asked to submit wiring certificates to the Busia office, which she did. She has since been given the runaround. Her contact is [email protected].

Ghost projects • The people of Kwanza and Endebess in Trans Nzoia County were thrilled with the tarmacking of the Kitale-Kwanza-Chepchoina and Kitale-Endebess-Suam roads two years ago, says Nixon Wandabi. “Today, nothing is going on,” laments Nixon, wondering: “And, what happened to a water project that was to serve the two sub-counties?” His contact is [email protected].

Beauty • The use of excessive make-up is indicative of low self-esteem and people in need of urgent counselling, says Mwangi Karuga. “When, for example, people prefer artificial hair to their natural God-given hair, it tells you something. The red lips we see all over are very scary paint. What happened to our naturally beautiful Turkana- and Maasai-type looks?” His contact is [email protected].
Have a natural day, won’t you!
