Simeon Nyachae, who passed away in early February at the age of 88, was among the men who shaped Kenya and made it one of Africa’s leading economies. For Kenya’s first 40 years of independence he was highly visible in government and helped to craft an economy oriented to the private sector that also was favourable to both large and small-scale agriculture.

[Yvonne Chepkwony, Standard] Over the past several weeks, a glance at newspapers and primetime news would have one thinking that Armageddon has descended upon Kapedo, the village bordering Pokot and Turkana counties that media outlets have described as “sleepy”. One thing is certain though no one in Kapedo is sleeping soundly as government forces battle what we are told are a group of bandits and rudimentary militia. Police officers and locals alike have been slain gangland style while the region stands at the brink of a humanitarian crisis it’s a sad state of affairs. While I mourn the dead and empathise with the people of Turkana, I want to probe why the region’s security has always remained rickety and on stilts.
