IN SUMMARY
  • Plastic manufacturers giving kenyans a raw deal
  • The police can work even better under the new constitution
KEBS TO BLAME. With the manufacturers of plastic chairs giving customers a raw deal on quality, Daniel Kigwiri says that squarely to blame are the Kenya Bureau of Standards and the Kenya Association of Manufacturers, both of whom he accuses of being sound asleep on the job. They have also failed to monitor the quality of imported goods, charges Daniel, who recalls that he bought a pair of shoes for Sh5,000, but it didn’t last a year. “I feel terribly cheated.” His contact is dkigwiri@yahoo.com.

PAY UP. Mombasa businessman Nagib Omar was only too happy to hire out his motor vehicle to a car hire company, Apex Vision Ltd, for use by visiting Orange Kenya personnel, but he now regrets doing so.
After using the vehicle for 10 days, Omar sent to Apex his claim, demanding some Sh25,000. That was in June, and to date, he has not been paid and yet he badly needs the cash. His contactnagibomar@gmail.com.

INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. Can Safaricom explain to Victoria Wanjiru, why she cannot make a call or even receive a text message when the balance in her account drops to Sh16.
She says that every time this happens, she immediately receives a message warning her that she can neither call nor receive messages “due to insufficient funds”, and yet that is more than what it costs to make a single call.
“Is this their way of denying us use of our money and making more profits?” asks Victoria, whose contact is victoriawanjirug@yahoo.com.

STATE SECURITY. The Police Force is not in any kind of quandary over the implementation of the new Constitution, as alleged by Wamahiu Muya, says George Gopal.
According to George, under the provisions of the new supreme law of the land, the police and other security organs will now be able to move more swiftly to quell ethnic violence, and fight terrorism and organised crime.
“The police and the intelligence will become more proactive to avert crimes,” he concludes. His contact isgeorgegop@yahoo.com.
-------------------
HATE SPEECH DEAL. The deal between a Muslim human rights organisation, Muhuri, and Cabinet minister Chirau Mwakwere that let him off the hook over his alleged hate speech is unfair, says Martin Tairo, adding that the case was in the interest of Kenyans as a whole.
“Dropping the charges because Mwakwere and Muhuri have reconciled after he apologised is unacceptable. It should have been allowed to go ahead as hate speech affects us all,” says Martin, whose contact is tairo@architecturekenya.com.
Have a just day, won’t you!
