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.

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…
