Unnecessary • The National Dialogue Committee report on governance reforms, Gichuku Mwangi notes, recommended the creation of the Prime Minister’s position in the Constitution. “I don’t remember why this was deemed necessary, given that we also have the Deputy President, who can easily handle what a Prime Minister will be expected to do.” His contact is [email protected].

Privacy • What James Gakuo does not understand is why the national government would want to tag and trace all the livestock in the country right from the farm all the way to the butchery where each is slaughtered and the meat sold. Says he: “This one looks like invasion of our privacy in full throttle. Don’t these people have better things to do?” His contact is [email protected].

Amenities • Access to clean water in their homes, Miriam Manya says, is what Kenyans, particularly women and children, need without discrimination to reduce the incidence of diseases. “We also require tarmac roads to enable us to easily travel to work, business, school, and for social engagements. This should be the irreducible minimum for Kenyans.” Her contact is [email protected].

***

Accidents • The high incidence of fatal and serious injury road accidents is alarming, says Jerry Kenyansa, a transport lobby official. “The accident black spots have been identified across the country. Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir should now put in place measures to curb the loss of lives and injuries occurring every day.” His email address is [email protected].

Talent • By helping Kenya Police Football Club to win this year’s Kenya Premier League, Evans Macharia Mwangi notes, Burundian coach Etienne Ndayiragije has just confirmed that local teams “need not go overseas to look for tacticians”. The East African Community member states, he adds, have good football coaches. “Congratulations, Kenya Police FC!” His contact is [email protected].

Have a victorious day, won’t you!
