Ruto erred in allowing Sudan’s RFS to set up parallel government in Nairobi
Delegates from Sudan's West Darfur State at the KICC in Nairobi on 18 February 18, 2025, ahead of the planned signing of the Government of Peace and Unity Charter.
Development • Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata’s acquisition of a mobile dialysis truck to enable health workers to reach patients in remote rural areas is a good example of how devolution was designed to work, says Daniel Onyiego. “The others should emulate his pure servant leadership. Devolution really works when leaders put their selfish interests aside.” His contact is [email protected].

Big brother • Nothing reminds Githuku Mungai of possible Big Brother watching than noises he’s been hearing. Says he: “Though rare, deep into the night —perhaps twice a year — one may hear a plane cruising through the skies, leaving behind an unfamiliar sound. It’s unlikely to be a passenger or cargo aircraft. It’s must be a warplane from a powerful country.” His contact is [email protected].

Bad company • The Kenya Kwanza regime “has lost its moral compass by allowing Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RFS) to set up its parallel government in Nairobi, says Robert Mukirae. “This real Janjaweed, the RSF has committed atrocities from Darfur to Khartoum. You’re always judged by the company you keep. This is the murkiest of such bad company!” His email address is [email protected].

Chaos • Boda boda “have become a law unto themselves, terrorising motorists”, says David Ngumi. “I saw several of them cross the red lights and weave their way past a policewoman, who paid no attention as the motorists on Valley Road, Nairobi, tried to avoid knocking the riders. Another officer was busy flagging down motorists for being in the wrong lane. His contact is [email protected].

New names • During recent elections, a new development has arisen in the Mt Kenya region, says David Githae, amazed at its apparent influence on the voting and choice of leaders. “Some MPs and senators were elected due to their humorous nicknames, regardless of their debating skills. So only a small number of them are able to participate in debates in Parliament.” His email address is [email protected].
