Ruto’s excellent diplomatic skills good for Kenya
President William Ruto, accompanied by his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping inspect a guard of honor at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China.
Smooth tongue • President William Ruto’s recent successful State visit to China is “proof that he can have his diplomatic cake and eat it”, remarks Taabu Tele on the goodies he clinched. “After bagging last year’s honour as the only major non-Nato ally, his smooth tongue has again proved to be a national asset for the country’s basic non-alignment foreign policy.” His contact is [email protected].

Early campaigns • The perennial election campaign mode, with politicians making and ending coalitions, is “hogging most of the time and hampering the rolling out of development programmes”, says Jim Webo. “I wish they could borrow a leaf from founding President Jomo Kenyatta’s book and consign the premature election campaigns to the back burner so as to forge unity for national development.”

Loving mums • The common maxim, “paradise is at the feet of mothers”, couldn’t be truer, notes Alnashir D. Walji, after celebrating Mother’s Day. “Mothers have the welfare of their children at heart, caring and less-domineering than fathers, after carrying them for nine months in their wombs. Is this why the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, is so revered?” His contact is [email protected].

Poor service • Stanbic Bank’s Kenyatta Avenue branch in Nairobi is short-changing its customers with poor service, charges David Kiptum. “The counter is mostly manned by one teller and a customer can queue for a long time. To add salt to injury, there are no seats for customers as they await their turn, unlike in the other banks. Please, speed up service.” His contact is [email protected].

Bad roads • Mombasa County should prioritise the maintenance and building of new roads in the resort town, urges Carey Yiembe. “This is a big joke as the roads have literally disappeared. The Bombolulu and Link roads are unusable, with potholes everywhere, forcing motorists to use the Voyager Hotel road, with endless traffic jams. Residents deserve better.” His contact is [email protected].
Have a passable day, won’t you!
