The Cutting Edge

NOISY CULPRITS: Nema is not engaging in any publicity stunts in its crackdown on noisy bars at Mtwapa, especially on the Mombasa-Malindi highway, as alleged by local resident Jitu Haria, says acting principal communications officer Morton Saulo.

The environmental agency, he adds, has already filed cases against three bar owners, which should come up for hearing some time next week.

Expressing his gratitude to Jitu for “the vital information”, Morton wishes to assure all that Nema has stepped up surveillance to net all the noisy culprits.

CONCERNED BENEFACTOR: Moved by the Nation story on the plight of Joyce Wangare, the 16-year-old girl, who passed her KCPE exam quite well in 2010, but didn’t join high school because her parents couldn’t raise the fees, and now crushes stones in ballast to eke out a living, Julius Richard Onyango, wants to help out.

“I wish to contribute a little money to enable her to go back to school. I would like to start the kitty with Sh5,000 and hope that others will chip in to enable this girl to realise her dream,” says Julius, who can be reached through rjulius24@hotmail.com.

NO ROAD SIGNS: The lack of road signs at Westlands shopping centre, Nairobi, is a big headache for motorists, as it is a major cause of the chaotic traffic flow in the busy suburb, moans Paresh Patel.

“Everyone thinks he/she has the right of way and will not stop at crossroads, especially on Muthithi and General Mathenge roads.

"If it is the case that all the metal signposts have been stolen, why not paint the signs on the roads to create some semblance of order?

"At the moment, the largest and fastest vehicles seem to have the right of way.”

Have an orderly day, won’t you!
