Ignored • When he served as the Interior Cabinet Secretary in 2022, Douglas Kaumbuthu Aritho recalls, current Deputy President Kithure Kindiki promised to allocate each chief with at least five police officers to enhance security and ease the implementation of government policies. “Well, nothing has happened. Why was his directive ignored?” he asks. His contact is [email protected].

Safety • What a Good Friday, April 18, it was for Gitere Kimari and other local residents to see speed bumps being erected on Kiambu Road near AAR Hospital opposite Karura Forest! Says he: “This will, no doubt, help to avert the frequent deadly collisions at this notorious accident black spot. But there is a need to install signs to alert the motorists about the bumps.” His contact is [email protected].

Warning • The many accidents at the Kamandura overpass at Rironi on the Nairobi-Naivasha highway “are most likely due to lack of adequate signage”, says Joseph Macharia. “Signs should be installed to warn drivers of the end of the dual carriageway from the Nairobi side. Many motorists normally approach the spot at high speed, resulting in crashes.” His contact is [email protected].

 Frustrated • An Airtel subscriber at Ndumberi in Kiambu County, Peter John, is frustrated at the poor service network. “To make a phone call, you have to go outside your house and keep on moving until you get connected, and this despite being less than 200 metres from the Airtel mast. Please do something before I’m forced to unsubscribe.” His contact is [email protected].

Home-ground • A keen follower of the live TV coverage of English Premier League and Uefa Champions League football matches, Dave Tumbula says the game is being turned on its head. “In the old days, the home-ground advantage was a key factor in the soccer results. What has become of the home supporters? The other day, Arsenal defeated Uefa champions Real Madrid at home.”

Have an entertaining day, won’t you!
