Best headline of the week: Ghetto President brings out the ugly beast in Museveni (The Standard, November 20, p.1). Story about Ugandan dictator’s violence against Bobi Wine and supporters. If scribes can’t tell it in Kampala, ours in Nairobi will. Or regional unity is a scam.
Kiai explained how it was hard to get a hospital to admit him as most facilities were full to capacity while others did not have Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds (People Daily, November 17, p.2). “Full to capacity”? Is it not enough to say full?

A carnival atmosphere.
