RUMOURS OF SECURITY TENSION IN RIFT VALLEY

NOT A GAIN COMRADES Hate leaflets are being circulated in Tinderet sub-county asking members of one community to leave the area. The leaflets, written in Kiswahili, warn the community to vacate within a week or else their property would be looted. One such leaflet addressed to Ms Wanjiru Joyce, says: “Please, leave within one week with your children or else you lose everything.” It accuses Ms Wanjiru and her colleagues of threatening to have a local chief and assistant chief sacked. INVESTIGATIONS The leaflets also accuse members of the community of receiving Sh400,000 for internally displaced persons while the host community was left out. Nandi County Commissioner Matilda Sakwa said investigations were under way to establish those behind the hate messages. She said a suspect had fled to Mombasa on realising that detectives were after him. The commissioner assured various communities in Tinderet that the government would not allow any person to cause tension among residents.by Koech Joseph via facebook

I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive.
