Betting scam • The NTV exposé on the betting scam on religious digital TV and radio stations should be taken seriously by all, says Moses Kariri. “These crimes reflect negligence by the Communications Authority of Kenya and the betting licensing board. These agencies should be overhauled and the officials sleeping on the job punished.” His email address is [email protected].

Elections • The opposition politicians eyeing the presidency in the 2027 General Election “are just a cohort of wannabes”, says Chris Kiriba. “They can keep on calling President William Ruto 'Kasongo' and other nicknames, but they still only remind me of a tethered goat moving within limited space. All their dreams may be different, but they are all just one big lie.” His contact is [email protected].

Contaminated • The National Environment Management Authority, Nairobi Water and the Health ministry must join hands to avert a looming disaster in the city, says Ibrahim Dalahow. “Despite my complaint, nothing has been done about the contaminated Eastleigh borehole water. It seems mixed with sewage or isn’t being treated, posing a public health threat.” His contact is [email protected].

Overreaction • Tanzanian officials overreacted to the presence of a “few Kenyan elders” in Dar es Salaam to witness the trial of opposition leader Tundu Lissu, who were denied entry and others tortured, says Mwangi Wanjohi. “They should pray that they are not ‘greeted online’ by Kenyan Gen Zs, who are more aggressive than the elders.” His contact is [email protected].

Outrageous • Meru Governor Isaac Mutuma’s suggestion that people should be allowed to milk elephants and harvest other natural resources is outrageous, says Ruth Gituma. “How can they manage to do this when the elephants have been wreaking havoc on their farms? Do these leaders ever carefully think through their public statements before issuing them?” Her email address is [email protected].
