The death of Kiambaa MP Paul Koinange, who died yesterday aged 72, brings down the curtains on one of the dependable allies of President Uhuru Kenyatta (Nation, April 1, p.8).

The story of Samson and Delilah reminds Christians just how crucial it is to guard their hearts and follow God’s instructions during the holiest holiday (Nation, April 6, p.3). So, the Samson and Delilah dalliance is an Easter story? What do you think this writer scored in Religious Education?

The Kisumu devolved government has set aside Sh50 million for an oxygen-making plant to stop the rapid spread of coronavirus (Nation, April 7, p.19). How does an oxygen-making plant stop the rapid spread of coronavirus, wadau?
