reading this, i find it hard to believe that not even ONE of them was there. it can’t be that our government would be so insensitive.

nooo, somebody out there tell me it isn’t so…

wow! talk about a wow government who’s sole purpose is to serve their nation!!!! Are these people for real?

Its so sad to see these people who already suffered tremendously being treated so callously. They’ve been on strike for three weeks and in that time, there have been no official statements either from our government or the US on their plight.

The best they could come up with was some US embassy/USAID official showing up to bribe them with 10,000 bob! 10,000 bob for people who have to live with grievous injuries for the rest of their lives. Many have lost their sources of livelihood as a result of injuries sustained from the blasts and daily struggle to deal with the emotional, psychological scars.

Kenyan government Jester Alfred Mutua had the audacity to go on record and say “It is between them and Americans.”

I have no words to describe how I feel about this “our government”. And not just because of this issue. Its a damn shame that we continue to elect such clowns time and time again.

God help us!

it’s so worrying to see how callously our leaders treat Kenyan suffering … M I think you should run for government, we need at least one sensible person there

Shame, shame, shame! (Of the kind where Gikukyu cucus come at you full force – naked!)

@IMN (and G for encouraging him/her!): ebu stop putting ideas in the M’s head! If he joins the government, what happens to the blog? Not that taking the risk.

@P: on top form as usual ‘Aquafresh moment…’LOL!

@G: have you ever tried to go to your embassy, a.k.a. your government, when you are in trouble outside Kenya? Hee hee hee! You might be better off just admitting to those ‘terrorism charges’ and taking the consequences…. Think function might just be, to debate nonsensical issues, shop at Harrods, get lipo-suction at Harley Street (for the weight put on during the recovery process from the fall in the bathroom), and shaft it’s citizens as royally as possible. Respect issue so true.

@Ms K – ‘clowns every time.’ Yup it is sad.

is there a sorrier LOT in existence? even something as “cosmetic” as showing up is this difficult?.

@ms K is this idiot serious? some people should consult their brains or JIRANI’S brain before speaking ghasia kabisa!!

Kamotho was in the bomblast, if i remember and even he did not turn up. M you are right they are callous, greedy and everything else you want to call em

I share everyone’s pain & frustration here & back home. What is widely referred to as Kenyan Governement DOES NOT exist, it’s merely a click of selfish crooks & robbers with hands deeps in the national coffers.
-I thought such events would be planned for atleast 9 months in advance & we’d have an idea of how many officials would participate. Ditto Wambui, “Shame, Shame, Shame!!”

My dear Kenyans why do we act with such shock.
Don’t you that your lives can be mortaged at anytime does their lack of presence in what was the Kenyan govt’s officials corrupt nature a suprise?

That is what our lives mean to our politicians.
NOTHING.

However, if there was some fund ……………

You all just jua the deal.

F.A.K

@ Kipepeo – Words cannot express ….
@ Prousette – They don’t even shed crocodile tears, let alone the real deal!
@ Ms K – Alfred is best ignored. He can appear on Redykyulass as himself, dressed as himself.
@ Magaidi – I don’t think any of those nitwits even noticed the day!
@ imn – LOL! Me? Government? What are you smoking!?
@ Guess – Our govt’s job is populating Swiss bank accounts. And as for your last crack – {inser snigger}
@ Wambui – LOL! Selfless as ever!
@ Nick – As mayor the only vegetation I will allow is vegetables
@ Msanii – Nope. These cretins are as useless as useless can get
@ farmgal – Government is one big eye and ear sore
@ Shiroh – So sad, so sad
@ Milonare – Maybe plane tickets and an allowance
@ Aikey – This government only plans trips to coast i fear
@ Guy Fawkes – Tempting …
@ VituVingi – Just goes to show politicians are useless the world over. But ours always manage to sink lower!

Its astounding that our politicians did not show up for the ceremony. The suffering that was inflicted on our people was un imaginable and what is even worse is the amount of suffering that they keep enduring under this very politicians. I will go as far as suggesting that the only way that we can help our people and country is by getting rid of this old school politians who are so absorbed with themselves. It is time and it has been time for new blood and ideas. Kenyans please wake up. Nothing ever surprises me about kenyan politicians.
