Introduce financial literacy to school curriculum
Financial literacy is a vital skill people should learn early in life.
What you need to know:
- Installation of solar street lamps on the road to Port Reitz in Changamwe has curbed the vandalising of cables.
- Fall-out between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk mirrors that between President Ruto and Gachagua.
Finance • A vital skill people should learn early in life is financial literacy, says F. Mukembu. “Quite necessary are planning and budgeting. The Education ministry should introduce a course in schools on financial management to equip the learners with knowledge and skills for use later in life. It’s a possible solution to individual and national financial woes.” His contact is [email protected].

Road improvement • The installation of solar street lamps on the road to Port Reitz in Changamwe, Mombasa, has curbed the vandalising of cables, says Jack Omondi. “The only problem now is traffic jams that spill over to Jambo Kwa Hola road towards the Shell service station. There is a need to ease movement for residents, especially for ambulances, during emergencies.” His contact is [email protected].

Thankless • On Madaraka Day, university don XN Iraki says, he encountered a thankless Kenyan, whom he helped to take to a Naivasha hospital after a road accident. “The victim, who was on the phone throughout, did not even bother to thank us or get to know our names or phone numbers. I now know why other motorists just drove past the accident scene.” His contact is [email protected].

Poor quality • When he bought a pair of “Bright” school shoes for his Grade 3 grandson from Naivas Westgate in Nakuru for a pricey Sh2,700, W. Kimariech would never have imagined that hardly a month later the sole would come off. “I’m now lost as to where to place the blame between Naivas and the Kenya Bureau of Standards. Bata has never disappointed.” His contact is [email protected].

Falling out • The bitter and dramatic fall-out between US President Donald Trump and billionaire special adviser Elon Musk exactly mirrors that between President William Ruto and ex-DP Rigathi Gachagua, says Dave Tumbula. “It’ll be interesting to see how Trump manoeuvres, being aware that Musk knows him inside out and the same applies to the Kenyan scenario. RiggyG is unmasking his former boss.”
Have a really interesting day, won’t you!
