Homa Bay State Lodge is waste of resources
Ongoing construction at Homa Bay State Lodge in Homa Bay Town on April 17, 2025.
Wisdom • The jailing of a 94-year-old woman for a year for destroying a neighbour’s Napier grass, when looters of billions of taxpayers’ money go scot free, confirms that something is terribly wrong with the justice system, says David Ngumi. “In our forefathers’ days, such issues were fairly settled by elders with wisdom that beats that of the current judges.” His contact is [email protected].

Wastage • Why is the government building a new state lodge in Homa Bay town and yet there is one in Kisumu City, just 100 kilometres away? asks Benjamin Kibias. “This is happening when the common mwananchi is experiencing problems due to lack of health, education and water services. To add insult to injury, people have been evicted from their homes.” His contact is [email protected].

Suspicious • Fires have become a perennial menace at the busy Gikomba market in Nairobi, laments David Githae. “The speed at which they spread raises the question: who starts them and why? Could land-grabbers be the real masterminds?” He wonders what past investigations may have revealed about this saga that raises more questions than answers.” His contact is [email protected].

Revelations • The shocking revelations on the government by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi should be treated with the seriousness they deserve, says David Githae. “The DCI can’t simply ignore these as allegations. If they are too complicated for them to handle, they should be handed over to the ICC.” His contact is [email protected].

Ignored • An appeal to ease the endemic traffic congestion at the Chiromo junction in Nairobi has been ignored by the city county authorities, Ruth Gituma laments. “A contractor began repairs on the road but didn’t complete them. Can the authorities ensure safe pedestrian crossings at this location? Pedestrians often have to sprint to safely get cross.” Her contact is [email protected].
Have a safer day, won’t you!
