Alambe Lolo ama Ameze mate wakikula nyama! Sonko trolled for spoiling Obama’s photo

Kenyans are not yet sure which phrase they’ll use to explain Governor Mike Sonko recent actions after he ended up in a photo he wasn’t meant to be in.

Kenyans wondered whether they should use “alambe Lolo” or “ameze mate wakikula nyama” while explaining how Sonko was sidelined when President Uhuru Kenyatta, DP William Ruto, Auma Obama and Barack Obama posed for a photo at statehouse.

Here’s how Kenyans reacted:

Jaguar’s 5-point solution to end incidents of mugging in Nairobi CBD

Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) has become a hotbed of criminal activities. Nairobians have been attacked and robbed in broad daylight by a group of muggers who operate in the CBD.

The mugging menace has sparked uproar prompting leaders to take action. Starehe MP Charles Njagua Kanyi ‘Jaguar’ proposes a 5-point solution to ending incidents of mugging.

Revamp NYS
Jaguar

Below are Jaguar’s suggestion to end mugging:

1.I urge all concerned authorities to step up efforts in curbing the recent mugging incidents witnessed in the streets of Nairobi.

2. I urge all city dwellers to be more vigilant and report any acts of robbery or violence. Most offenders are released back into the streets owing to lack of sufficient evidence or complainants to have them convicted.

3. I also request our officers to be more understanding when cases are brought to them by the general public to avoid fear of harassment or victimisation.

4. Besides partnering with Friends of the Homeless to rehabilitate street children, I have indeed reached out to various youth leaders more so within my constituency to talk to fellow youth and ensure they engage in constructive activities.

5. Lastly I call on the National government through the Ministry of youth to restore youth empowerment programs such as NYS that was able to employ more than 34,000 youth who are now jobless owing to its closure.
Additional programs like the youth enterprise fund should be made available with supplemented efforts from parastatals that deal with correctional behavior such as NACADA.

Police take action

Meanwhile police have started a crackdown on muggers and robbery gangs in the CBD. Two suspects were on Tuesday shot dead near Haile Selassie roundabout while another was was gunned down at the Globe Cinema roundabout.

The Nairobi County Security Committee on Monday activated an anti-mugging squad following an outcry by the public.
