What you need to know:

  • Aden Duale’s revelation that audits and inspections have uncovered expired drugs in hospitals and pharmacies is alarming.
  • To spend heavily on the National Prayer Breakfast and the Madaraka Day celebrations is wastage of public resources.

Illicit funds • Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and some Kenya Kwanza MPs cannot continue to fool Kenyans about the source of the millions they have been dishing out in some parts of the country, says David Yator. “As we know how much they earn, their generosity is suspect. It’s worrying as Kenya Ports Authority and NSSF have lost more than Sh100 billion!” His email address is [email protected].

Border posts • Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi’s assurance that the development of the Mulwanda border post with Uganda is about to start is good news for Busia County, says Jim Okwako. “When this is done, we will have three border points. The others are in Busia and Malaba towns. The new post will boost ties with Uganda and fuel business. The long-promised tarmac roads are coming.”

Expired drugs • Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale’s revelation that audits and inspections have uncovered expired drugs in hospitals and pharmacies is alarming, says Tonny Kyule. “As the health sector is sensitive, the State should focus on sensitisation and security. Just the other day, there was shortage of vaccines. Ensure the wellbeing of Kenyans!” His contact is [email protected].

Bad roads • The roads in Kyeni Central in Embu County are in quite an appalling state, laments Dennis Munyi. “And yet we have a crop of some very good leaders. The main Kathariro road has become worse since an attempt was made to widen it. Since then, it’s been for us a painful two months with unfulfilled promises. Who will save us from this nightmare?” His contact is [email protected].

Wastage • Thinking about the millions spent on hosting the “National Prayer Breakfast” and the Madaraka Day celebrations, Lucas Kimanthi wonders whether they can be marked without spending so much of taxpayers’ money. “They are for the leaders’ self-gratification. Those days should be better observed through personal reflection.” His email address is [email protected].

Have a reasonable day, won’t you!
