To Addis and back with handy lessons
President William Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki inspect the Kulamawe–Garbatulla section of the 750km Isiolo–Mandera Road under the Horn of Africa Gateway Development Project on February 11,2026.
On an evening flight to Addis, I chanced on a Kenyan embassy staff working there. He introduced himself with a warm smile, as we settled down upon boarding. Noticing me at lost luggage counter on arrival, he walked over with concern. I forgot my reading glasses on my seat, I explained, to him and the airport staff.
No worries, he said. Let us ask the airline, to bring them to the lost and found desk. Our staff will pick them up when they come to the airport tomorrow, he said reassuringly, as he offered me a ride to the hotel. A day later, his colleague stopped by our delegation as we met our hosts, and dropped the glasses off. Absolutely amazing!
