By the Idler-in-Chief If the gods of Nyagenke ever wanted a theatre, they needn’t look further than our campaign trails. Forget drama, forget comedy; what we have is a fully-funded spectacle of steel, fuel, smoke and dust. The election bell is far from ringing but the Nyagenkeans have already been invited to line up, clap, […]

By Shem Onderi Everything here is done under pressure.Every step must go right, without mishap.Quick decisions—sharp, precise—the professional mind stays upright,never carrying in the worries of home. Here, everything must work.A life hangs by a thinning thread,and only the attendants know the way.The patient is purely in their hands. They sit, they stand, they pace,ready […]
