Why is Nyongo missing from BBI debate
Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o.
What you need to know:
- The gender equality police should arrest them for holding an improperly constituted event.
Where’s Nyong’o? • Kisumu Governor Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, Joe Ngige Mungai notes, “has been conspicuously missing from the BBI debate.” Ngige adds: “I know he’s been struggling with poor health, but he’s such a strong man! Prof Nyong’o and Prof Kivutha Kibwana are among the activists of yesteryear who have not been intoxicated with power. Speak, Prof Nyong’o! It’s not too late!” His contact: [email protected].

Gender equality • Godfrey Braganza keenly followed a recent gender debate forum. Says he: “The panellists and moderator comprised one man and four women. They were flouting the two-thirds gender rule. The gender equality police should arrest them for holding an improperly constituted event. The lone male should be reprimanded for taking part in a one-sided assembly.” His contact is [email protected].

Co-op Bank • After 20 years as a Cooperative Bank customer, George Mburu says he would never have imagined that it would come to this. He has always deposited his personal cheques on his business account, until recently, when he was turned down. “My bank statements can confirm this. If it’s about a change in policy, why weren’t we informed about it? It’s very unfair.” His contact is [email protected].

Face masks • A rather curious Jim Webo would like to know from the experts or the manufacturers why sky blue appears to be the most predominant colour of the face masks being made for Covid-19. “I have seen a few other colours, and some multi-coloured designer pieces, too, but what one mostly sees on the streets and elsewhere is just a sea of blue. Is it because blue is nice to the eye or there is more to it?”

Njonjo’s age • Former long-serving AG Charles Njonjo, Mwangi Karuga notes, will be 101 years old on January 18. He will be the longest surviving post-independence leader. “What has contributed to his longevity? His privileged childhood, family genetics or egoistic lifestyle? His father was a senior chief in the colonial era. I hope he will give us tips on the secrets of his long life.” His contact is [email protected].
Have a durable day, won’t you!
