The Cutting Edge

Activist Okiya Okoiti Omtatah as a recipient of a presidential award? No way, says Samuel Muthamia, adding: “I wouldn’t agree with the proposal as the man seems to be a rebel without a cause. I’ve never understood whose interests he represents”.

He cites Omtatah’s backing for the demo in support of radical Jamaican Abdullah al-Faisal, “a man known for his hate speeches all over the world”.

Samuel concludes: “With his type of rhetoric, he is not worthy of such an award,.”

The tower at City Hall, Nairobi, is, indeed, a brilliant piece of architecture, notes Andy Cons who, however, didn’t like what he saw recently.

“I saw a busload of tourists taking pictures and noted that their interest was not in the tower, but in the dirty and tattered Nairobi City flag atop it, as well as the non-functioning clocks. Doesn’t NCC have maintenance staff?”

Have a majestic day, won’t you!
