Kenyans on Twitter are discussing comments made by the governor of central Kiambu county about the demolition of buildings in wetland areas in the capital, Nairobi. Most people have concentrated on Ferdinand Waititu’s remarks that property built on riparian land should not be demolished – instead, owners should be allowed to redirect the flow of water. “I don’t support the ongoing demolitions.

Former Minister of State in charge of Public and Private Partnership Alhaji Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo says President Nana Akufo-Addo’s directive that all appointees who want to join him should come in a bus and not use their private cars is not necessary but rather he should focus on the specific issue and bring along the ministers who are in charge of it. “I think that there are two sides to it,” he began, “first of all, is it the fact that it’s a necessity for any minister to follow the president or join him in the bus?

This is not only important for supporting the extra weight of bub and your changing body, but leg…

Government’s spokesperson on Legal and Governance, Herbert Krapa, has rubbished suggestions that seek to place a cap on the number of ministers a sitting president could appoint. His comments follow a suggestion by the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, that 65 ministers are enough to run the affairs of the country. Speaking with 3FM over the weekend, Mr Krapa said denying a sitting president the number of ministers he or she would want to appoint amounts to injustice. “There is a constitution that allows the government to run an executive government, allows him to come to power based on a manifesto…

We have witnessed the roars of the central bank especially through its very outspoken boss, Dr. Addison in what many term as measures aimed at “streamlining our banking sector and making it more compliant with regulations”. Any attempt to make entities bounded by laws to be compliant with those laws cannot be opposed by any patriotic citizen. It is however problematic if the issues are spinned to conceal and misrepresent facts and ultimately cast a slur on the reputation of individuals who we should rather be celebrating for their contribution to…
