Nairobi — Now that the weathermen have confirmed El Nino deluge will soon be with us, Ken Ruhiu is warning all to be on the lookout for the dreaded 'Nairobi Eye' insect, which inflicted serious facial injuries on many during the last onslaught 10 years ago. Says he: "Should you spot the tiny red and black insect, brush it off gently and you will be okay. Make a mistake of crushing it on your skin and you will have a rash that lasts for months."

KPLC should go to the rescue of its customers on Bima Road at Kahawa West estate, Nairobi, who have not had electricity since Sunday, October 18, urges LM. Trouble started after the transformer serving the area was tampered with by vandals. Says she: "Vandals or no vandals, I believe we have a contract -- we pay our bills and they supply the power. We should not be punished simply because thieves are targeting transformers."

Lister Nyaringo, who lives in New Jersey, US, says he has been finding it extremely difficult to reach his relatives back home in Kenya, who are Zain subscribers. He adds: "It's cheap to call a Zain line from here, but the lines rarely go through. And when they do, the reception is terribly poor. Can this company, which keeps on changing its name, fix the problem?"

Esther Kiarie says she has yet to recover from the shock of watching the footage of a TV crew a few days ago literally chasing an elderly woman around in Murang'a, in the name of getting the family's reaction to the recent gay wedding in the United Kingdom involving two Kenyans. Says she: "I can only appeal to those professional journalists to be more sensitive about the feelings of other fellow human beings. I felt like l was watching them 'rape' that old woman. Shame on you all!"

As debate rages, especially among politicians, over the creation of constituencies, Sammy Inganga has thrown in his lot with those demanding that the new units be carved out on the basis of one man, one vote. Says Sammy, in a matter-of-fact way: "I fully support the proposal to have constituencies based on population unless we want to say that Parliament represents land rather than the people."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with tennis star Serena Williams's nude pose on the cover of ESPN magazine, says Daudi Mwenda, adding: "View the photo closely and it will dawn on you that she did not reveal anything untoward! Such nudity is very African, as we only began wearing clothes in the last century. Our communities still walk around in various states of nakedness and nobody ever complains. Serena didn't even reveal more than women do on the beach in a bikini. Hers is pure aesthetics. It's just beautiful."

Have a super day, won't you!
