Good morning.
We have come to the end of a week that has been full of drama, despair and a new record of no last-minute rush to do away with the old Ksh 1000 notes.
Despair rocked the country following the tragedy of a mother and a daughter trapped in a car that plunged into the Indian Ocean on Sunday evening.
Five days later and their bodies have not been recovered. Actually, very minimal has been done in the recovery operation.
This has exposed the poor state of our emergency preparation mechanisms. What should be done to avoid such an incident happening in future?
We will be discussing this and other hot stories on Opera News.
